The Garand Thumb review highlights the Robinson Armament XCR-M in 8.6 Blackout as a significant advancement in subsonic rifle platforms. It offers superior terminal ballistics compared to 300 Blackout and 9mm subsonic rounds due to its heavy 300-grain projectile and high twist rate. The rifle demonstrates manageable recoil, acceptable accuracy for its intended role, and impressive modularity with its quick-change barrel system.

The HCAR is a modernized M1918 BAR in .30-06, praised for its aesthetics and ruggedness but criticized for its high price ($6,400-$7,100) and expensive magazines ($120). A significant safety flaw was identified where the firing pin drops when the safety is disengaged if the trigger was pulled while on safe. While cool, .30-06 is deemed less practical than modern .308 platforms for tactical use.

FPSRussia reviews the Ohio Ordnance Works HCAR, a modernized version of the WWII BAR. He highlights its significant weight reduction (11.75 lbs vs. BAR's 19.5 lbs) and features like a Surefire muzzle brake and hydraulic recoil system, which drastically reduce felt recoil for the .30-06 cartridge. The review demonstrates its power by destroying watermelons and a stack of televisions with minimal muzzle rise.
