The Diamondback DB1912O061 DB15 delivers reliable 7.62x39mm performance in a compact AR-platform pistol configuration. This factory-built firearm combines proven ergonomics with modern manufacturing techniques to create a versatile platform suitable for close-quarters applications and recreational shooting.
What Makes This Different
The carbon fiber lower receiver reduces overall weight by approximately 20% compared to traditional aluminum construction while maintaining structural integrity. The 7.62x39mm chambering provides more stopping power than standard 5.56/.223 variants, utilizing readily available ammunition that delivers consistent terminal ballistics. The 6-inch M-LOK handguard offers multiple attachment points for accessories while keeping the overall length manageable.
