CMMG’s MkG GUARD in 450 SMC

Boonville, MO–CMMG’s MkG GUARD is an AR15 rifle that is chambered in .45 ACP and feeds from factory Glock magazines. At the heart of the GUARD is the patent pending Radial Delayed Blowback operating system that works to harness the strong recoil impulse of .45 ACP.  After extensive durability testing, CMMG is proud to announce that the GUARD is safely rated for 450 SMC.

For those unfamiliar with 450 SMC, Triton first conceived the cartridge in 2001. The design was ultimately taken over and completed by DoubleTap ammunition years later. In essence, it is a magnum version of .45 ACP that offers ballistics that are comparable to 10mm. It is a true “stopper” that delivers energy capable of taking down big game.

While the 450 SMC uses a case with the same outer dimensions as .45 ACP, there are a few significant differences that allow DoubleTap to load 450 SMC with five to six thousand pounds per square inch of pressure more than a standard .45ACP. First, the 450 SMC uses a small magnum rifle primer instead of the large pistol primer. This modification allows the hardened case to be thicker at the base.  Second, the brass is manufactured from the ground up to handle up to 30,000 pounds of pressure. The result is a dual-purpose cartridge that is exceptional for both hunting and personal defense. Read more

AMMO, Inc. “STREAK” Visual Ammunition

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.  – AMMO, Inc. (OTC:POWW), a technology leader and premier American ammunitions developer and manufacturer, most recently released the new STREAK line of visual ammunition.  STREAK’s combination of HyperClean Technology and an illuminated, non-incendiary projectile have proven a winner with consumers and indoor ranges around the country.

STREAK’s patented formulation incorporates a non-flammable phosphor material that utilizes the light emitted during discharging of the round to make STREAK glow.  STREAK is not on fire and does not generate heat therefor making STREAK is safe for indoor range use where the illumination is best seen.  Early reports from the field mention STREAK visual ammunition is also a great way to wrap up a day of outdoor shooting, waiting until the waining moments of daylight to, “go STREAKING”.

“We were fortunate enough to get an early test run with AMMO, Inc.’s STREAK ammo.  Our clients loved it so much that we have decided to do a weekly STREAK Shooting night at our ranges.  STREAK ass a whole new dynamic to target shooting,” said Bren Brown, President of Frontier Justice, The Midwest’s Premier Firearms Destination.

STREAK ammunition is intended for use in areas free of natural sunlight when the human-eye’s pupil is most open.  Dusk-till-dawn and indoor lighting permits the pupil to open enough to see STREAK ammunition.  Contrast is what permits you to see a glowing object moving at the speed of a bullet.  The darker the backdrop and target the better you’ll see STREAK.
