You get a B5 Systems stock with a six-position buffer tube, a carbine buffer spring, our premium forged upper and lower, a Mil-Spec M16 carrier, our enhanced bolt catch, enhance safety and magazine release, our RACK charging handle…and when you put all that together, you’re getting almost a completely ambidextrous gun. With all of the products that we offer as a company, we knew we could make a gun that has many more features, and more usability for every type of shooter, at a better price. We took a look at the rest of the industry and what you are expecting to get from a forged gun, and we want to really exceed that and surpass those expectations. Paul Chiappa, Battle Arms Development – The WORKHORSE line was designed to be a new generation duty grade rifle for law enforcement and a higher-end, yet affordable option for the civilian market. We played with the gas port size until we had achieved 100 percent reliability. We tested a wide variety of supersonic ammunition with and without a can, and we did the same with subs. ![]() We worked very slowly and deliberately, starting with a barrel with no gas port, and then slowly, slowly opened them up until we got exactly what we wanted. There are also SWAT units and SRT units that might need a gun like this, and it was critical that the end-user would not have to worry about the ammunition they were using, or making adjustments to a gas block. We just couldn’t put out something that was going to need adjustment, …especially on something that was going to be a true defensive firearm that someone might potentially use in their home. We wanted a true, fixed gas system that would run the way it should. For them, that was the easiest route to take.įrom our experience, and as far as what we want to bring to the market, we were not comfortable using an adjustable gas block to solve the issue of being able to successfully cycle supersonic and subsonic. There’s a variety of gas systems out there on the market right now that are deemed acceptable for 300 Blackout, and some companies have opted to go with an adjustable gas block. We designed a gas port diameter that we knew would work with a variety of subsonic and supersonic ammunition. ![]() ![]() We did a lot of work with that firearm to make sure the gas system was perfect from the factory. We’re really pleased to offer that as a pistol version as well. Our newest addition is our Silent Professional, which is a 300 Blackout PDW, which is built on a monolithic PDW lower. From there, we move up to our AUTHORITY line, which builds on our billet, ambidextrous receiver set, and comes with many of our upgraded parts. It’s affordable, achievable, yet does not sacrifice anything. The Workhorse line is our forged, duty grade rifle…for the everyman. In 5.56, We have a few different lines of firearms that fit different roles. A few years ago, we expanded in a natural way to begin producing our own firearms. Since then, we’ve worked to go over each individual part of the AR-15, improve it, and make it ourselves. We started with the first ambidextrous safety on the market and went from there. Paul Chiappa, Battle Arms Development – We started the company trying to create solutions for problems. The perfect firearm for duty or home defense.Q: Paul, can you talk about what’s new in 2020 at Battle Arms Development?
