Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key updates to the 5.56 Honey Badger?

The updated 5.56 Honey Badger features a revamped recoil system designed for 5.56 ammunition and a two-piece bolt carrier group. This iteration has undergone extensive testing with thousands of rounds to ensure its reliability and solid performance.

What makes the Q-Ert handguard unique?

The Q-Ert handguard is notable for its exceptionally light weight and high rigidity. It achieves this through thinner wall thicknesses compared to M-LOK handguards, as it's not constrained by polymer requirements, and Q claims it's the stiffest on the market.

What is the goal of Q's new 'South' suppressor?

The primary goal for the 'South' suppressor is to offer excellent sound and weight reduction at a more affordable price point than high-end competitors. It aims to provide great quality in sound performance and weight savings without the premium cost.

Why is the new Cherry Bomb mount two-piece?

The two-piece design of the Cherry Bomb mount allows for a very short flash suppressor that fits within the existing Cherry Bomb package. Crucially, it ensures the tapered features for silencer alignment remain concentric to the bore while the flash suppression component indexes directly off the muzzle face for optimal performance.
