The Diamondback DB1915O061 DB15 delivers 7.62x39mm performance in a compact AR-15 platform, combining the stopping power of the Soviet cartridge with modern manufacturing precision. This pistol configuration offers enhanced maneuverability while maintaining the reliability expected from Diamondback's proven DB15 series.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 5.56 AR pistols, this DB15 chambers the hard-hitting 7.62x39mm cartridge, providing superior terminal ballistics and barrier penetration. The carbon fiber lower receiver reduces weight by approximately 30% compared to traditional aluminum lowers while maintaining structural integrity. The 10-inch barrel length optimizes velocity retention for the 7.62x39mm cartridge, achieving better performance than shorter configurations.
