The Battle of SBRs: Testing Different Barrel Lengths and Calibers

TLDRWe test various SBRs with different barrel lengths and calibers, including the most effective SBR for different purposes. We test recoil, accuracy, long-range performance, and more.

Key insights

💥The Mark 18 with a 10.3-inch barrel is the most commonly used SBR in military forces worldwide.

🔥The 8.1-inch barrel 5.45x39 SBR, while less common, offers good recoil control and controllability.

👊The Sig Rattler in 300 Blackout with a 5.5-inch barrel performs well at close range with subsonic ammunition.

🎯The 762 SBR with an 8.3-inch barrel exhibits accuracy and good performance despite issues with ammunition quality.

💣The FAL 308 OSW with an 11-inch barrel proves exceptional in terms of recoil control and accuracy at longer distances.
