![]() ![]() I would have liked to try some different ammunition in the gun to see if it had a preference for one over another, but the way things are at the gun counter right now I was lucky to get what I could. ![]() I’m not sure what kind of accuracy you might expect from a 9mm carbine such as this, but hitting things like soda cans and six-inch steel plates at fifty yards seemed pretty easy. ![]() With the Romeo and the R9 installed, we spent a good portion of the day making little piles of brass all over. Most of the PCCs I have shot in the past were blow-back designs but delayed guns like this Banshee seem to be quieter still due to their breach staying closed longer. I was shooting 124-grain supersonic ammunition so I wasn’t expecting it to be extremely quiet, but it did seem to be quieter than I expected. I had brought along my Yankee Hill Machine R9 suppressor because I knew it was up to the task and easily swapped out the muzzle threads to fit the Banshee. I am not one for making a racket, so it was time to see how this pistol would do suppressed. I collapsed the brace to better fit his little stature and off he went. He’s shot plenty of other guns so this wasn’t a big ask, but I was supremely pleased as I watched how simple it was for him to handle and manipulate the gun. My nine-year-old had come along with me, and as kids often do he started hinting at an interest in shooting the Banshee. It also makes the weapon more stable and controllable by reducing the recoil impulse with its lighter bolt carrier group. The radial delayed system of the Banshee allows greater reliability than traditional blow-back designs. And with their lighter bolt carriers, they feel much smoother in operation. The more advanced designs of the gas-operated systems don’t start operating the action until the bullet has left or nearly left the muzzle. This added to the heavy cyclic weight of the bolt increases the feeling of recoil and motion. With nothing holding the bolt closed but its weight and spring pressure, a blowback gun begins moving and opening the action as soon as the shot is fired. Heavy bolts made from blocks of steel are usually the culprit.Īnother of the complaints heard about blowback-operated guns is the recoil impulse felt by the shooter. One of the many complaints with blowback systems is the heavyweight that is typically required to hold back the bolt long enough for the bullet to get down the barrel. The Banshee utilizes CMMG’s Radial Delayed Blowback system to improve several aspects of the carbine. And still others like the old roller guns from HK utilize a different locking bolt and a gas-operated system for their legendary reliability. More advanced designs like the MPX utilize a gas system like those seen in many AR-pattern rifles for more reliable functions. It is less expensive and requires fewer parts in most cases which makes it a good option for entry-level-priced pistol caliber carbines (PCCs). This simple design operates much like a semi-auto pistol, utilizing the recoil and pressure generated at the breach of the barrel to open and cycle the action. Many of the nine-millimeter carbines on the market today are of the blowback type. Other features such as custom furniture and six different Cerakote colors to choose from put the Banshee on many shooters’ want list. The overall length of the pistol is just under twenty-one inches, making the Banshee Mk4 a very mobile and handy weapon. A pistol brace is mounted at the back on the buffer tube and using both 60 alloys for the upper and lower receiver help keep the weight of this little pistol down to four-point-seven pounds. The CMMG Banshee is a nine-millimeter AR-style pistol, it features a five-inch Chromoly barrel with a 1-10 twist. Operating System Radial Delayed Blowback. ![]()
