<p>While <a href="/wiki/5.56%C3%9745mm_NATO" title="5.56×45mm NATO">5.56×45mm
NATO</a> has enjoyed widespread acceptance in military circles, the nature of the
missions encountered by some special operations groups often demand a round that
provides better performance than that available in the high-energy standard
velocity rounds and subsonic performance greater than standard <a
href="/wiki/9%C3%9719mm_Parabellum" title="9×19mm Parabellum">9mm</a> (the
ubiquitous pistol round also commonly used in many <a href="/wiki/Submachine_gun"
title="Submachine gun">SMGs</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a
href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a></sup></p>
<p>In an effort to satisfy this need, the 300 AAC Blackout was developed. It can be

Defense, under the direction of AAC's Research and Development Director Robert

id="cite_ref-300_Blackout_Edition_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-

<p>Meeting these goals allowed the development team to negate many of the perceived
drawbacks inherent to other large caliber cartridges when used in the M4. <a
href="/wiki/Colt_Firearms" class="mw-redirect" title="Colt Firearms">Colt
Firearms</a> and other arms makers had previously chambered AR-pattern rifles and
carbines in various .30 caliber rounds but encountered several problems. In the
case of the 7.62×39mm, its relatively severe case angle caused feeding issues
unless specially modified AK-47 magazines were used, and even then results were
less than outstanding<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact"

title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to

bolts were also needed owing to its larger case head diameter. Rounds such as the

href="/wiki/6.5_Grendel" class="mw-redirect" title="6.5 Grendel">6.5 Grendel</a>

standard M4/M16 30-round magazine albeit with a reduced capacity.<sup id="cite_ref-

<p><a href="/wiki/Wildcat_cartridge" title="Wildcat cartridge">Wildcat
cartridges</a> such as the <a href="/wiki/.300_Whisper" title=".300 Whisper">.300
Whisper</a> series 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 <a href="/wiki/STANAG_magazine" title="STANAG magazine">STANAG magazine</a>
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.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-
8">[8]</a></sup></p>
<p>By keeping the M4/M16 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.<sup id="cite_ref-recoil_9-0"
class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-recoil-9">[9]</a></sup></p>
<p>Quote from Robert Silvers, director of research and development for AAC. “We
started development in 2009, but most of the work was done in 2010. A military
customer wanted a way to be able to shoot .30-cal. bullets from an M4 platform
while using normal bolts and magazines, and without losing the full 30-round
capacity of standard magazines. They also wanted a source for ammunition made to
their specs. We could not have just used .300-.221 or .300 Whisper because
Remington is a SAAMI company, and will only load ammunition that is a SAAMI-
standard cartridge. We had to take the .300-221 wildcat concept, determine the
final specs for it, and submit it to SAAMI. We did that, and called it the .300 AAC
Blackout (.300 BLK).” <sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-

<p>300 AAC BLACKOUT was approved by <a href="/wiki/SAAMI" class="mw-redirect"

<p>The US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) as of March 2017, has requested
defense industry proposals for conversion kits from 5.56 to the .300 AAC,
highlighting interest in making the round more available to the wider Special
Operations Community. So far the .300 AAC has seen limited use within certain
special operations forces, primarily within JSOC. This was due to operators
preferring the higher stopping power within close quarter battle engagements
compared to 5.56 rounds that are commonly used.</p>

<p>The 300 AAC Blackout was designed to achieve energies similar to the <a

href="/wiki/AR-15" class="mw-redirect" title="AR-15">AR-15</a> while using standard
AR magazines at their full capacity. The 7.62 Soviet's cartridge taper prevented
reliable feeding in AR magazines and created wear on the bolt. From the
14.5 in (370 mm) barrel of the <a href="/wiki/M4_Carbine" class="mw-

href="/wiki/5.56%C3%9745mm" class="mw-redirect" title="5.56×45mm">5.56×45mm</a>
round has an effective point target range of 500 meters. The bullet has significant
drop, drift, and energy loss at that distance. From a 16 in (410 mm)
barrel, a 125 gr (8.1 g) 300 BLK round has a lower velocity and similar
bullet drop and drift at shorter distances. However, it has the same amount of
energy at 700 meters that the M855 has at 500 meters. In terms of hit probability,
the Blackout has an effective range of 460 meters. From a 9 in (230 mm)
barrel, the 125 gr BLK round has the same muzzle energy as the M855 from the M4,
and 5 percent more energy at 440 meters. In comparison with 7.62×39mm rounds, 300
BLK rounds with varying loads have a better <a href="/wiki/Ballistic_coefficient"
title="Ballistic coefficient">ballistic coefficient</a> and more energy out of
similar length barrels. 300 BLK rounds like the Barnes TAC 110 grain, have "barrier
blind" performance, being capable of penetration through several inches of
different hard targets. 300 BLK allows a user to have one firearm with the
capability of switching between subsonic, supersonic VMAX or barrier penetrating
ammunition all with just the change of a magazine. It is able to replace the
H&K MP5 for close quarters, and with just a magazine change, bring the fight to
longer distances, outperforming the M4 carbine.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template
Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a

in frontal bullet area over the 5.56×45mm, and so leaves a larger wound cavity in
soft targets. It also penetrates deeper and initially yaws faster. 300 BLK rounds
are effective out of barrels as short as 4.5 in (110 mm). Weapons
chambered for the round can be as light, compact, and quiet when suppressed as
submachine guns like the <a href="/wiki/9%C3%9719mm_Luger" class="mw-redirect"

<p>Compared to the <a href="/wiki/6.8mm_Remington_SPC" title="6.8mm Remington
SPC">6.8×43mm Special Purpose Cartridge</a>, another round made to have increased
stopping power over the 5.56 NATO, the 300 Blackout has different capabilities. The
300 BLK was designed with a specific shorter-range focus to have equal or more
energy than the 7.62 Soviet and work reliably with suppressors. The earlier 6.8 SPC
was simply designed to have more energy at all ranges than the 5.56×45mm. It has a
relatively small projectile with a high velocity that maintains performance at
range. At 200 yd (183 m), the 300 BLK drops 2 in (51 mm) lower
than the 6.8 SPC, while it drops 30 in (760 mm) lower at 500 yd
(457 m). The 115 gr (7.5 g) 6.8-round has a higher muzzle energy of
1,694 ft⋅lb (2,297 J) due to its greater velocity, while the 125 gr
(8.1 g) 300 BLK round has a muzzle energy of 1,360 ft⋅lb (1,840 J).
Both rounds were made to be used in an easily converted <a href="/wiki/AR-15"
class="mw-redirect" title="AR-15">AR-15</a>. The 6.8 SPC has a more difficult
conversion because it was designed around the obsolete <a
href="/wiki/.30_Remington" title=".30 Remington">.30 Remington</a> cartridge,
requiring a different bolt and decreasing standard magazine capacity. The 300 BLK
was made specifically for ease of conversion, so the standard bolt will work and a
magazine can be used to its full capacity, so the only change needed is the
barrel.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-

<p>The very advantage of the 300 BLK (its similarity to the popular .223/5.56
caliber) can also be a safety issue if ammunition of the two calibers is mixed.
Because of similar chamber dimensions between the two calibers, SAAMI has listed
the combination of using a 300 BLK round in a .223 chamber as unsafe.<sup
id="cite_ref-saamiComb_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-saamiComb-
3">[3]</a></sup> Since the bullet of the 300 BLK is larger than the bore of the .
223 caliber, chambering and firing would cause excessive pressure to build up since
the bullet has nowhere to go, which can cause the rifle to explode resulting in
risk of injury or death. Since the mix up easily can be done, some suggest owners
of firearms in both calibers to carefully separate firearm and ammunition of the
two types by for instance clearly marking the firearms and magazines, and visually
inspect every round while loading magazines.<sup id="cite_ref-19"
class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a></sup> Whether a 300 BLK
cartridge actually is able to chamber in a .223 barrel depends on bullet length and
shape, bullet seating depth, crimping, and the volume of powder charge. Ideally,
cartridges would use one of the longer projectiles, a case-filling powder charge,
and have the projectile crimped into place.</p>
