While 5.56mm NATO has enjoyed widespread acceptance in military circles, the fluid nature of the missions that some special operations groups encounter often demand a round that not only provides better performance than that available in the high energy standard velocity rounds but also one that can offer subsonic performance greater than the current standard 9mm submachine guns now in use.nnIn an effort to satisfy this need the 300 AAC Blackout was created by Advanced Armament Corporation in cooperation with Remington Defense, under the direction of AAC's Founder, President, and Head of Engineering, Kevin Brittingham.nnProject goals were:nn Create a reliable compact 30-cal solution for AR platformn Utilize existing inventory magazines while retaining their full capacityn Create the optimal platform for sound and flash suppressed firen Create compatible supersonic ammo that matches 7.62×39mm ballisticsn Provide the ability to penetrate barriers with high-mass projectilesn Provide all capabilities in a lightweight, durable, low recoiling packagennMeeting these goals allowed the development team to negate many of the perceived drawbacks inherent to other large caliber cartridges when used in the M4 platform. Colt Firearms and other arms makers had previously chambered AR pattern rifles and carbines in various 30 caliber rounds but several issues were encountered. In the case of the 7.62×39mm, its relatively severe case angle caused feeding issues unless specially modified AK47 magazines were used and even then results were less than outstanding. Modified bolts were also needed owing to its larger case head diameter. Rounds such as the 6.8spc and 6.5 Grendel had similar part-interchangeability issues but did allow for the use of the standard M4/M16 30 round magazine albeit with a reduced capacity. 300 AAC Blackout rounds shot from a suppressed M4 Carbine.nnWildcats such as the 300 Whisper and 300-221 addressed these issues but their widespread use in single shot handguns along with the lack of an industry standard cartridge dimension meant that a great number of the popular loads on both the supersonic and subsonic end of the spectrum were less than ideal in the AR pattern weapons. Many of these rounds required an excessively long overall cartridge length that would prohibit feeding in a STANAG magazine while using powder charges that were not compatible with the pressure requirements of the M4 carbine. This was particularly noticeable when using subsonic ammunition in conjunction with a suppressor as short stroking and excessive fouling would occur similar to that which was seen in the earliest variants of the M16 in Vietnam.nnBy keeping the M4/M16 platform in mind as the primary host during load development the designers were able to work up a host of cartridges that would satisfy not only the ballistic requirements set forth but also ensure mechanical reliability with the fewest changes to the weapon itself, with only a simple barrel change being necessary for a complete conversion.nn300 AAC BLACKOUT was approved by SAAMI on January 17, 2011.nnOn October 23, 2011, SSG Daniel Horner of the USAMU used 300 AAC Blackout to win his 4th USPSA Multi-Gun National ChampionshipnnThe Mixr - Lightweight DJ Headphones by Beats feature deep bass response, exceptionally high volume, and durable construction. Styled in collaboration with David Guetta, these headphones are built to withstand the rigorous use of a professional DJ.nnThe Mixr headphones feature sound-isolating ear cups that swivel backwards for single-ear monitoring. They include two cables; one with an in-line smartphone remote and mic, and one partially-coiled with an angled jack. A carrying case, cleaning cloth, and 1/4" adapter are also included. Less
