CMMG Banshee | 9mm AR Perfection? (5" Banshee 300 and 8" Custom Banshee Build)

The CMMG Banshee may very well be the perfect 9mm AR, or AR9. Their patented Radial Delayed Blowback system does a fantastic job at reducing felt recoil and wear and tear on components, while also making it an exceptional suppressor host. It's also offered in several different flavors allowing it to accept Glock mags, Sig P320 mags, Colt mags or CMMG's ARC magazines. In this video I shoot 400 rounds through my 2 CMMG Banshees - one is a factory 5" CMMG Banshee MkG model that takes Glock magazines, and the other is an 8" fully custom Banshee build that uses CMMG's ARC magazines and delivers phenomenal performance. This is an incredibly reliable, fun, soft shooting platform that suppresses extremely well with both my Dead Air Wolfman and SilencerCo Omega 9k suppressors. The Custom 8" Banshee build might even be one of the quietest 9mm suppressor hosts I've ever shot - it really is that good. Modeled after the c3junkie build, the secret ingredients of this custom Banshee include a VLTOR A5 buffer tube, with a Kynshot 5007 hydraulic buffer and Tubbs .308 flat wire spring. Combining that system with the CMMG Radial-Delayed Blowback (RDB) bolt system is simply a sublime experience. This is my 5th video in my 9mm PCC Comparison series. There will be 5 more videos on individual 9mm Pistol Caliber Carbines released in the coming months, and then a final video will be released comparing all 10 PCCs in great detail. If you enjoy 9mm PCCs, you'll want to make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss any of the videos! As a quick technical side note, this is also my first video released with the new GoPro Hero 11 Black camera. I'm really happy with it! The new Hyperview mode I think adds a lot of immersion to the POV shots. Most of my upcoming videos will be using this camera moving forward - hope you enjoy it! I have a ton of videos in the works, including many more PCCs, as well as ARs, AKs, Shotguns and Handguns.
