  • Over the course of a year, the engineers at Q developed the 5.56 honey badger, overhauling the original 300 BLK design with a new recoil system, muzzle device and select materials. All while maintaining its iconic lightweight, compact design. The team tested the new system over the course of 5 months shooting over 40,000 rounds… with the common goal of breaking the gun…
    They couldn’t.

    Everyone complaining about barrel length must not have a MCX rattler with 5.5” barrel. Every gun has a purpose, the honey badger has always been to be light weight and short. I have the 300 version and now I might get the 5.56 pistol.

    Lmfao “We HaVe ReAl EnGiNeErS!¡” well evidently they can’t torque an eotech to a rail properly. Which, as someone who works with engineers on a daily basis, doesn’t surprise me. Like a very wise man once told me “Engineers? Yeah engineers should have stayed on the fuggin train” 😂
