....in .300 Blackout.

Interesting choice. Still seems like a solution looking for a problem to me.

Personal Defense Weapon when it applies to them; Assault Rifle when it applies to us.

Sig has been greasing some hands I think.

I can say from personal experience that the Rattler is a great gun. Couple thousand rounds through it without a single malfunction. I run a Dead Air Nomad on it. It's my official bedside gun now. I may even SBR it.

I have had mine since 2018. Thousands of rounds though it, sub and supper, almost all with a can. Only issue is the charging Handel unlocking and drifting back. Other than that, its my 100% GO TOO. I also have the Canebrake with a dedicated can on it, but the little Rattler just keeps winning for grab and go.

Urban and close-quarters suppressed combat. Re: 300 BLACKOUT:

"The cartridge yields increased performance in shorter barrels and effective sub-sonic performance for suppressor use when compared to 5.56mm NATO"

Reminds me of the Universal Enforcer in this thread. Except for handling heavier bullets, it is not really a 'huge improvement' over the .30 Carbine.
