have you guys heard of the 7.62x40?
I have never heard of it till I went into a gunstore today and saw it on a gun.
fucking strange.

It looks like very good quality, but why not just go the 300 blk route? Seems more future proof.

it just seems super gimmicky.
What was weird was I saw it on a older rifle, and not an Ar-15.
Is there any older rifles that fire a 7.62x40?
I was assuming it was a typo, but Google is not showing anything.

Probably 7.62x45 you were looking at in a vz52

Tacticalfags, when will they ever learn?

Could've just originally been a .223 with a new barrel to accommodate the round.
The world is full of boutique cartridges that are restricted to a handful of manufacturers and which perform within a few percentage points of their closest competitor.
Don't give it too much thought, it's just WC making a 30 caliber for the ar15 and they focused on supersonic instead of subsonic aspects.

Saved me the trouble of posting. Guess we could could get into the whole mag trimming issues and limited bullet weight but why bother
>>32888724
oh look, another clone of 7.62x39 and .300 memout
>>32888810
that's missing the upper handguard
>>32889402
Why not just use regular 5.56 then instead of making another snowflake round?
>>32889402
isn't the 300 blackout based on the 223 casing?
