sweet
all right guys today we have a new
fun brand new design the descent from cmmg let's start having some fun with it
it is a bufferless ar well it's going to come as a pistol so you'll pretend there that there's no
there's no stock on it unless you pay for the tax stamp to do that so there's no buffer tube
normally in an ar you have a buffer tube which is also your stock where your bolt
reciprocates into the back and you have the spring and all that jazz this is all
integrated into the upper and so they actually just took their mark iv lower receiver
which is a standard AR lower put their buffer plug in it and it will come with a pic rail so you can
have options you know i bet there's even sling mounts that you can just throw on the pick rail
or you can do your brace if the atf allows that still go sbr that kind of thing and so
everything's integrated into the upper here we can pull it out real quick and you can see how that's
different than your normal ar-15 bolt carrier group the front of it looks exact this is the
5.7 model so it has the radial delay blowback cuts on that bolt there's one in 556 223 and
then there's the 300 blackout those will both be traditional direct impingement but when i saw that
they were coming with a six and a half inch barrel i'm like oh six and a half inches is a bit um uh
short for two two three and a little bit shorter than i want on my 300 blackout however five seven
by twenty eight i was like that's a good choice because this is like a very cool compact pdw
only weighs four and a half pounds they have a nice trigger most manufacturers throw in just
a mil-spec trigger because they know you're going to upgrade it to your own choice you know i always
put larue mbt two-stage triggers in mind however this is this really fancy trigger check trigger
comes in at four pounds and it has a crazy uh okay very s very short stoops two first stage right
there and then that four pound very nice and crisp let's take it off safety it works even better and
there's your break i mean it's it's like that glass rod break the reset is kind of light you
know if you're used to a harder reset it it's light but otherwise i mean the trigger pull is
great side charging handle if we didn't go over it earlier it's not reciprocating so you will not
blow your thumb off if you have it up there this comes with all the new zeroed furniture that cmmg
has this is their own grip this is their 60 degree ambidextrous throw lever extended magazine button
on this side which also is functional on the left side so a lefties rejoice or if you're just
right-handed and want to grab it like this you can so that's kind of cool and then a little larger
bolt catch here which is pretty cool because with one hand i can pull back the charging handle
my thumb reaches the bolt catch and i can lock the bolt open with one hand rather with an ar
you kind of you know have to pull back and get all in yeah it's really nice and ergonomic and i uh
i like that part a lot of course we have the jmac folding stock on here their forward blow
compensator this is the zeroed furniture and as part of their new zero design that's with all
these just nice little cuts with the m locks and you just have neat designs on it they have their
bolt on brass deflector right there no forward assist and there is no uh ejection port cover
now my zero 300 blackout does have this ejection port cover and so that's just the difference that
i saw between the descent and the banshee but it's the same bolt-on brass deflector and no
forward assist right there on the banshee so i say that's enough talking i just want to shoot
a little bit more we'll scoot up so you don't get brass on you buddy i got ears all right good to go
oh something felt funny i don't know
my trigger didn't reset must have been a
short stroke round because it kicked it out didn't put one in
all right i like shooting it suppressed better because i can actually hear the still target
with the blast is kind of blasting but i'll still throw a couple more we'll hit the hundred yarder
cool fun but i think it's a little loud so we'll make it quieter
oh this is the sightmark volta if you uh were wondering it's solar powered
it's a little larger because it has triple a stacked in it however uh i thought it was
just a real neat look for this thing so that's why we went with it all right time to be quiet
now that we're suppressed i wanted to start off with this detroit subsonic 57 ammo why you may
ask because it's quiet 55 grains so you know it's heavier than a 22. um it shouldn't cycle though i
don't think it's gonna cycle but that's when it's nice that it's just right here okay i'll start at
50 then i'll go for 100 because i don't know what this drop and point impact change is going to be
that's cool i could tell the trigger didn't reset let's go for a hundred oh i hit it
that's fun
so with something a little more powerful probably a heck of a lot more aerodynamic than a 22 because
it's 55 grain but uh let's find right there one more there we go fun stuff all right now i wanna
i really was shooting with the compensator on and it felt real good but oh i have it in my
bucket another mag i'm gonna put some irregular power this is the federal american eagle whatever
uh because in the past it seems like it's kind of a little stingy it's probably just because
the stock is so wiry but all right i didn't see the one fall out let's see what happened oh yeah
okay so i mean you can tell it's a powerful cartridge it's
uh this would probably be a little uncomfortable with the two two three
but uh yeah with a five seven i guess it's a nice match i'm gonna shoot a little more first
that's fine and that's 100 yards out there so what we're gonna do
because what i'm thinking is uh there could be a difference in recoil because of the buffer
system that they have because of the ar your bolts traveling to the rear you have a buffer
tube and it's a little lower so my thought is is this recoil system a little higher
and when we get a little muzzle flip rather than something straight into the shoulder honestly
i don't think it matters but just because it's a different build we're gonna throw it on high-speed
camera and see and what we're gonna do because the muzzle devices of this and my mark 57 um
is that the right word for it i think so uh no the mark 57 is the one that takes the five seven
mags this is the mark iv so it takes real max anyhow the compensators are different because
this was the old school one this is zero comp so we're going to go with the bauer suppressor
just so we are good across the board we'll see if there's any recoil difference with a few rounds
but if you weren't familiar with it we've got a whole video on this this is just a regular ar
lower so if you wanted to use 5.7 with the radial delayed blowback system boom regular well it's
not regular if you're the atf it's an sbr yay but yes uh so just to see if that buffer tube actually
makes a difference now usually when we put something on high speed we'll see a difference in
muzzle tip or bolt bounce or buffer weight in the rear and just how the action works which we have
seen before with rdp versus blowback but i gotta say these look exactly the same and i don't think
the recoil system being above the bolt matters at all kind of cool i didn't mention it earlier
but these are 32 round magazines and of course they are just a r type and so here's the deal uh
before we get to the accuracy test they are going to offer just the upper and the upper i assume
will come with the buffer plug and that pick rail so if say i wanted to put this on just another
sbr or your own lower receiver you can do that and so that will be available later but for now
uh we put this sitemark citadel on here because it's 1x6 and we'll be able to see a little better
at 100 yards we're gonna see what kind of group we got this is the reaper grip of the
bike off jager but uh so i am still standing but it'll help we'll get a bench out here soon
very nice and centered to me oh come on that
one went lower than it should have that could have been me
that's better
better a little rust but good
nice all right so earlier when i zeroed the optic i had three and less than one inch uh
there's a soda can on top we're gonna knock it off wait oh yeah okay it's behind a bush for me
okay fun stuff all right guys so that's some fun with this uh uh cmmg
descent i can't just end like that though we have more rounds in the mag i want to
i want to shoot a little bit more so we're going to just go freehand here let's see what we got
that'd be fun so yes let's say it's in pdw mode and you just have to go
okay i'm a little better now i just had to send more rounds downrange we had them in the magazine
but the cmmg descent so this is actually kind of an early sneak peek release and uh they're
going to retail right under 2 grand and then they'll have those upper kits available i think
it's around like 13.95 if you want the upper kit and put it on your own lower
so yeah i think it changes things up i mean if you're gonna go
sbr pdw type instead of doing those law adapters or whatnot
this is really more compact makes it a great bag gun truck gun uh just personal defense weapon like
it's supposed to be you will have a tandem blog post over at topshopdustin.com so make sure you
check it out there get on the email list all that good stuff thanks for watching okay i love you bye
so
did you see that
come on come on
i came in like a wrecking ball
perfect
