The WMD Guns 8.6 Blackout (brand part no. 1-NIBX8.6R16) is a semi-automatic AR-platform rifle chambered in 8.6 Blackout, a cartridge Q designed using a .338 projectile, a .308 bolt face, and modified 6.5 Creedmoor brass. WMD Guns cuts the 16-inch barrel with a super-fast 1:3 twist, letting the 8.6 Blackout deliver serious performance in both subsonic and supersonic loads, and builds the rifle to the same quality standard as the brand’s Big Beast .308 platform. The rifle ships with a ballistic nylon tactical carry bag and a box of Gorilla Ammunition 8.6 Blackout 300-grain Sierra MatchKing subsonic ammunition. Among AR-platform rifles in the AR rifles category, the 8.6 Blackout favors shooters who want a purpose-built subsonic-capable big-bore AR.
