Serious question: besides having more off the shelf suppressed loads, what does it do that 7.62x39 doesn't?

>>33859828
Fit in an AR15 without a wonky magazine

>>33859828
Supposedly, it's more accurate. I've yet to see it it my experience when fired from a gun that's not an AK

>>33859758
IIRC it was developed to be shot from an 11.5 inch sbr with a suppressor.

>>33859758
>What is /k/'s thoughts on the blackout?
you wouldn't look like an underage if you just asked about it in any other way without using the word meme

>>33859857
I think meme is the best description of the round anon

>>33859758
If it wasn't so fuckspensive ($.50 per round) I'd be interested. Unless it ever comes down to 5.56/7.62x39 levels I'm out.

>>33859877
Ok, so read the textbook definitions of meme and tell me how a cartridge is one.

>>33859926
>An amusing or interesting item (such as a captioned picture or video) or genre of items that is spread widely online especially through social media

Sounds like a round that really only has use in a tiny sub section of supressed firearms, made to look cool through various YouTube videos and online articles from "gun experts"

>an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture

See above: the idea of this new, tacticool round that makes you into fucking Rambo with your dad's supressed AR.

Like I said: meme round

warning to all 7.62x39 fetishists:

you are all brainlets and nobody cares about your shitty slavaboo lifestyle

also, you are all low IQ and are incapable of coming up with original thoughts. The people developing the 300 AAC blackout are smarter than u by default and therefore they were aware of the existence of 7.62x39 prior to working on a new cartridge. Face the fact that not everyone likes your shitty AK

AK lovers EAT SHIT

>>33859981
i wish you assholes would go back to wherever you came from

>>33859996
Awww..don't get mad anon. I know facts hurt.

useless when 7.62x39 exists
>but muh AR parts compatibility
other types of rifles exist

>>33859993
I have to admit, I was looking for Hunter-3-1 under the name section on your post.
>warning to all 7.62x39 fetishists:
I think you mean, people who want to get a 762x39 AR. And it's still a lot more expensive per round, so it'll get expensive in the long term, or even short term if you shoot much.
Most of those problems are invented, and why do I care if it uses all the standard AR parts?
I'm not destroying my 556 AR to use 762x39, it'll be a whole new rifle with different parts anyway.
inb4 shtf fantasies regarding parts compatibility

It's just .30-30, except in an AR instead of a lever gun.

It's just 7.62x39, except in an AR instead of slavshit.

Same thing could be said about .458 Socom/.50 Beo and .45-70.

You gotta understand, people love their ARs with the furious passion of 100 burning suns.

A testimony to Stoner's genius, especially for ergonomics, I guess.

>>33860060
Last time I checked, 7.62x39 was a lot less that 50 cents a round. Hell, some 30-30 can still be found for less than that

>>33859758
its a .30 caliber 5.56 what else could you want?

>>33860079
Hey, I'm right there with ya.

I like my AR, but I do not understand the whole craze for exotic calibers like Blackout.

I've got a WASR for a .30 caliber thumper, it works fine for me.

>>33860060
>A testimony to Stoner's genius
a testimony to the power of marketing

>>33859758
apparently the rapid response / star group types here in australia are getting some new subgun from europe that uses this .300 whatever the fuck.

is it a retarded round

>>33860190
Heh. You're not wrong.

I was trying to be nice to the AR fanatics.

>>33859758
A round to fill a gap that doesnt need to be filled.

>>33859758
yes it's a meme. source: bought into it and i regret buying the upper

>>33859993
>7.62x39 is not good for ARs therefore AK fags suck dick
profound. truly.

>>33859836

This. It is simply 7.62x39 for the overinflated ar15 market

.22lr is truth.

Its an amazing cartridge if you reload.

I shoot a ton of different loads with every bullet under the sun, its fuckin amazing. The recoil impulse is signficantly lower than 556/762x39, accuracy is good, tapping out shoots quickly is a breeze.

It also runs well in shorter configs too which is fantastic. Ive got a 16 inch kreiger barrel and with good match rounds in the 150 gr range it can easily hold sub minute out to 250~
The 10.5 inch runs like a beast and the 300 hits with authority. Topped off with an AAC can and you can run subs and full power without changing a thing.

Its an awesome awesome round... If you reload. In which case you can chop brass to make a fuckton of cases, get cheap slugs, and spend nothing on powder as you throw pistol sized charges. You can even run cheap as fuck lead slugs all day for next to nothing.

Buying it however is a no no.

why is this the only board that flips out when people use the word "meme" to describe something?

>>33859758
It's a weird snowflake version of 7.62x 39, what do you think?

Seriously just use x39 or go full battle rifle like a true patrician

>>33859993
Way to justify your meme round but ok.

.308 or bust niugga.

It is a meme, but also it's not a meme. It's very popular for a cartridge that isn't standardized. This is because it shines in short barrels (M4), and people are getting better at making integrally suppressed firearms

My apologies. What I meant was: "Is .300 Blackout a thing that gets reposted about frequently and is currently a widely talked about thing but ultimately a joke?"

This is /k/ though, and I know how cultish and weird people here get about using exact terms in exact situations only. My bad guys..

Another question though, can .300Blackout rifles use standard 30rnd 5.56 clips?

>>33860138
>but I do not understand the whole craze for exotic calibers like Blackout.

It has good subsonic loads, and you can easily convert any standard 5.56 AR to fire .300 BLK

That being said, it's not that great unless you reload

>>33860716
>can .300Blackout rifles use standard 30rnd 5.56 clips?

Yes, that's the appeal of it.

>>33860716
Cunt people on this board call 5.56 a meme.
A round which is well established, has been killing people for 50 years; a meme

.300 blackout is cool because of its compatibility with the AR platform, its accuracy, its performance from short barrels, and its performance suppressed.

>30rnd 5.56 clips
You're dead, kiddo

>>33859981
You realize that when you use the latter (and original) definition, your question basically becomes "is a x thing or idea that exists". It has no substance, it's not asking a real question or requesting the thoughts of others and you obviously had nothing to say about it so your post could have simply been ".300blk" in the title and an image. Meme threads have about as much substance as a generic "nice weather today huh"

>>33860947
you're a very unique individual for not playing the social game the rest of us participate in. we all admire your independence.

>>33859828
Equivalent quality brass .300blk and 7.62x39 are about the same price.
ARs and Ruger Minis don't have light-primer-strike issues with them.

>>33860060
30-30 is easily loaded hotter and up to 190grs than either 300 or x39 and 45-70 can be loaded hotter and heavier than .450BM, .458 socom or .50beo. It doesn't have to deal with OAL or bolt strength restrictions. 7.62x4pWT and .45 Raptor are a different story

>>33859849
9"

>>33860716
There's quite a few gunshop owners near me who like it, and they don't give off any sort of /k/ or even internet-ish vibe.

>>33860553
t. ak peasant

sucks to suck

>>33859842
When compared to traditional lead cored coper jacketed x39, no, compared to bimetal, yes.

why not just use subsonic 5.56?
wouldn't that be quieter too?

>>33862329
its essentially .22lr

>>33859828

7.62x39 has several flaws. Biggest being brass availability.

All brass sucks shit except lapua for loading, and lapua is conveniently retarded fucking expensive.

.311 bore makes bullet choice severely limited. No bullets are decent going slowly.

Almost all 7.62x39 barrels have 1:9.75 twist. Its incapable of stabilizing anything in the 180+gr range, needed for subsonic work

7.62x39 semi autos generally have 14x1lh threads. (Or 14x1rh, if you're a cucknadian faggot)

No us barrel maker makes a faster twist .311 barrel.
(I've asked)

I've also debated a fast twist .308 barrel chambered for 7.62x39, and handloading everything.

Do you already own a 5.56 AR?
Do you reload?
Do you have an sbr or AR pistol?
Do you, or plan to get a suppressor?

If you answered no to any of these questions .300 probably isn't for you.
If yes to all...it is the perfect bullet for your suppressed sbr!

I know wolf makes 6.5 grendel, why don't they make .300 blackout?

>>33859777
more money than common sense

>>33859777
>unnecessarily expensive rifle
>shitty meme cartridge
>retarded enough to spend too much money on a rifle
>retarded enough to keep feeding it with unnecessarily expensive ammo

>>33859828

Switch from heavy, slow bullets to supersonic w/ AK flight pattern all in the same rifle, with all the accessories you're familiar with, all with a swap of a barrel.

All loads seem at their most effective with a short barrel length, so it's even better as a PDW type setup.

>>33859993
I know this is bait, but
>The people that needlessly fixed something that wasn't broken are smarter than the people that continue to use the original.

7.62x39 is, for all intents and purposes, just as capable as .300 Blackout

Some police tactical groups here in Australia are adopting it

>>33859777
>Daniel Defense

>>33859758
300aac is an excellent meme for anybody who can afford a suppressor and ammo. It's also versatile enough to replace AK food while maintaining compatibility with the most common firearms in our beautiful and free country.

I mean, it's not exclusivly a bad thing but it is annoying to have AK fans and AR fans both crow about how they share similar ballistics like it means anything.

Wish 6.5 Grendal was the one that took off as a meme but 300 blk was also the thing that helped normalize suppressors so I guess I can't complain.

Sad to see you cant grasp the concept of something being unnecessarily expensive.

I shoot .308 every weekend which is just a few cents off from .300BLK. Both .30 caliber, one can touch 1000 yards and beyond, the other is for kids who feel they need a special cartridge for their range toy.

So enlighten me, why spend more for less power?
