The Diamondback DB15 7.62x39 pistol delivers AK-47 ballistics in an AR-15 platform, combining the familiar ergonomics of America's rifle with the proven stopping power of Soviet engineering. This compact 10-inch configuration offers maximum maneuverability without sacrificing the hard-hitting performance that made 7.62x39 a global standard.
What Makes This Different
While most AR pistols chamber 5.56 NATO, this DB15 variant accepts readily available 7.62x39 ammunition and standard AK magazines. The carbon fiber lower receiver reduces weight by 30% compared to traditional aluminum construction while maintaining mil-spec durability standards. The 9-inch M-LOK handguard provides ample mounting space for accessories while keeping the overall length manageable for close-quarters applications.

The 7.62x39 cartridge delivers 35% more kinetic energy than 5.56 NATO at typical engagement distances, making this platform effective for both defensive applications and medium game hunting. The pistol-length gas system cycles reliably with a wide range of ammunition weights from 123 to 154 grains. Weather-resistant finishes and quality control testing ensure consistent performance across temperature extremes and adverse conditions.
