Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the CMMG Dissent a unique PDW?

The CMMG Dissent stands out as a PDW due to its bufferless operating system, which uses dual recoil springs housed within the upper receiver, allowing for an ultra-compact design without a traditional buffer tube. It's also available in specialized calibers like .300 Blackout and 5.7x28mm, optimized for its short barrel.

Which calibers are recommended for the CMMG Dissent's 6.5-inch barrel?

For the CMMG Dissent's 6.5-inch barrel, the reviewer recommends .300 Blackout or 5.7x28mm. The 5.56x45mm caliber is considered less suitable due to excessive muzzle blast and poor terminal ballistics at this short length, labeling it more of a 'range toy'.

What are the key features of the CMMG Dissent's lower receiver and brace?

The CMMG Dissent utilizes a standard CMMG AR lower receiver with a 1913 adapter end plate, designed to accept folding braces or stocks. The SB Tactical FS1913 folding brace is shown, though its stability under recoil is questioned.

How does the CMMG Dissent compare to other PDWs in terms of price and features?

The CMMG Dissent is positioned as a premium compact PDW, with an MSRP around $1,999.95. It competes with models like the Sig MCX Rattler, offering a bufferless design and high-quality components like a TriggerTech trigger, making it a notable option in its class.
