AAC Honey Badger
The Honey Badger was originally designed by Kevin Brittingham during his time in AAC as a modern AR15 style alternative to the HK MP5SD. The weapon was designed in conjunction with a new caliber, .300 AAC Blackout, which can be fired effectively suppressed and unsuppressed from a very short barrel with better terminal results and improved sound signature than a 9mm round. AAC was then sold to Remington and the Honey Badger was never commercialized. Brittingham then resurrected the project at his new company, Q, which now manufactures and sells the weapon. The Honey Badger is mainly chambered in .300 AAC Blackout, but the 16" rifle version is also available in 5.56mm; a 9.69" barrel is currently in development for the 5.56mm Honey Badger.
The AAC Honey Badger and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
