Key Features
- 8-inch 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium Barrel — Why it matters: The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes both subsonic and supersonic .300 Blackout loads, giving you the flexibility to run heavy 220-grain subs or fast 110-grain supers without losing accuracy.
- CMMG EML M-LOK Handguard — Why it matters: Full-length M-LOK slots and a continuous top Picatinny rail let you mount lights, lasers, or a red dot without adding bulk. The handguard stays cool under rapid fire and keeps the profile slim.
- Ambidextrous Controls — Why it matters: The Banshee Mk4 comes with an ambidextrous safety selector, bolt catch, and magazine release from the factory. Left-handed shooters don’t have to swap parts, and right-handed shooters get faster reloads.
- Linear Compensator / Flash Can — Why it matters: The factory-installed linear compensator directs blast forward, reducing perceived recoil and keeping muzzle flash away from your support hand. It also serves as a mounting point for suppressors when you’re ready.
- Compact 8-Inch Barrel with Pistol Brace — Why it matters: The overall length stays under 26 inches, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces like vehicles, hallways, or hunting blinds. The pistol tube accepts standard AR-15 pistol braces for legal compliance.
Who It’s For
This pistol is for the shooter who wants a dedicated .300 Blackout platform for suppressed use, home defense, or truck carry. It suits the traditional AR-15 enthusiast who appreciates a factory-built gun that doesn’t require a tax stamp for the barrel length. It’s also ideal for hunters who need a compact, quiet rifle for hogs or varmints when paired with a suppressor and subsonic ammunition.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Factory-built, no assembly required; ambidextrous controls out of the box; threaded barrel ready for suppressors; 30-round magazine included; reliable gas system with CMMG’s proprietary bolt carrier group.
- Con: The 8-inch barrel limits velocity compared to a 10.5- or 16-inch barrel. Per CMMG specs, subsonic rounds lose about 50-70 fps compared to a 10.5-inch barrel, though this is typical for short-barrel .300 Blackout pistols.

FAQ
Can I shoot both subsonic and supersonic .300 Blackout in this pistol?
Yes. The 1:8 twist barrel handles both subsonic (220-grain) and supersonic (110-125 grain) loads reliably. For best accuracy, test a few brands to see what your gun likes.
Does this pistol come with a brace or a buffer tube?
It ships with a standard AR-15 pistol buffer tube and no brace. You can add any aftermarket pistol brace that fits a mil-spec buffer tube.
Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
Yes. The 8-inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24 with a linear compensator installed. Remove the compensator to attach a .30-caliber suppressor.
What magazines does it use?
It uses standard AR-15 .300 Blackout magazines. The included 30-round magazine is a Magpul PMAG. Note: Do not mix 5.56 and .300 BLK magazines — use dedicated .300 BLK mags to prevent chambering the wrong round.
Is this pistol legal to own without a tax stamp?
Yes. The overall length exceeds 26 inches with the brace installed, and the barrel is under 16 inches, so it is classified as a pistol under federal law. Check your state and local laws before purchasing.
