Why Choose the Q Honey Badger
The Q Honey Badger is not just another AR pistol. It was engineered from the ground up to be the best compact 5.56 platform available. The 1:5 twist barrel is optimized for heavy subsonic ammunition when used with a suppressor. The adjustable gas system allows you to fine-tune operation for suppressed or unsuppressed shooting.
The reduced-weight bolt carrier group and proprietary buffer system reduce felt recoil and improve reliability. The pistol weighs only 4.5 pounds, making it incredibly easy to carry and maneuver. The Q custom stabilizing brace is comfortable and functional, providing a stable shooting platform.
This Q Honey Badger is a premium firearm for discerning shooters. The fit and finish are exceptional. The Cherry Bomb muzzle device works as a flash hider and compensator. For anyone looking for the ultimate compact handgun rifle, the Honey Badger is the answer.
Performance and Design
The Honey Badger uses a proprietary gas system with an adjustable gas block. The gas block has three positions: suppressed, unsuppressed, and off. This allows you to tune the rifle for any ammunition or suppressor combination. The 10-inch 416 stainless steel barrel is hand-lapped and features a 1:5 twist rate, which stabilizes heavy subsonic bullets like the 77gr SMK.
The reduced-weight bolt carrier group cycles faster and reduces felt recoil. The proprietary buffer system is shorter than standard AR buffers, allowing the brace to fold closer to the receiver. The Q custom stabilizing brace is made of durable polymer and features an adjustable strap for a customized fit.
The M-LOK handguard is free-floating and features a full-length Picatinny top rail. The Q Cherry Bomb muzzle device reduces flash and compensates for muzzle rise. The receiver set is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished with Type III hardcoat anodizing. The overall design is clean, functional, and iconic.
