The Diamond Back DB15 AR pistol delivers compact firepower in 5.56 NATO chambering with a 7-inch barrel configuration. This black-finished pistol combines maneuverability with the stopping power of rifle cartridges, making it suitable for close-quarters applications where standard rifles prove unwieldy. The included 30-round magazine provides substantial capacity in a lightweight platform.
What Makes This Different
The DB15 pistol features a direct impingement gas system that cycles reliably with both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition. The 7-inch barrel length optimizes velocity while maintaining compact dimensions, producing approximately 2,400 fps with 55-grain ammunition. The pistol configuration eliminates stock requirements while providing the ballistic advantages of rifle cartridges over traditional pistol rounds.
