Love this video. Points out the glaring flaws of the QHB2.0. The MCX price is painful but from a engineering aspect they nailed it.

[@pswancey81]

That was my thoughts after watching this video. The reassembly was huge turn off…..

[@LackLusterMedia]

[@austinirwin2868]

good to see a video from someone who's actually used one of these!

[@FanaticDrummer]

SIG just has a design advantage especially the Rattler. Brilliant design and look, its just a great firearm which can even be more compact than the badger. And you get a integrated barrel for it. As usual you get what you pay for with todays compact weapon systems.

[@stlbowfishing1661]

“SIGnificanly heavier” I like what you did there

[@ANRDesignLLC]

yess Dad puns

[@AlabamaArsenal]

Great video! I was really excited about the Honey Badger and the video was eye opening. I'll probably still pick one up, but looks like it won't become my go to SHTF rifle. It's a shame but i guess they had to make some compromises to get the weight down. Anyway great vide thanks for making it very informative.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

[@KM_1983]

Glad you did this. Always wondered what the differences were.

[@M4jeff]

I think what the poster is trying to tell us about is, “the honey badger is for a rich ne’er-do-well who is seeking a status symbol versus a functional weapon“. Sir, Thank you so much for posting this video, the honey badger is off my list and I will happily stick with my Sig MCX in 300 blackout.

[@Fullyautomagic]

The whole vibe of Q is “I’m a hood rat in a gated community”

[@YourFavoriteLibertarian]

Thanks for the honest review. The sig now comes with a folding brace option which brings it to 5.1 lbs vs the hb at 4.5 lbs. So we are talking a little more than half a pound difference. For the added "sturdiness" of the sig I'll take the extra weight. Especially, since it will be closer to my body with the shorter extended length and the way shorter folded length. I've never owned either brand and this would be my first 300blk gun so this has helped a lot in my research.

[@jieevo]

Got the HB in jail. Saving up for the Sig. Thank for the video. Perfect comparsion for me!.

[@phi376]

Thank you for your honest review and opinion. I have some reservations about the Honey Badger now. I am thinking about going with the Noveske Ghetto Blaster instead (N4 Gen 4 PWS).

[@luckyphil_01]

Great video, thanks! Guess tjhe Honey Badger is more design/beauty than function... room to improve! Super cool info, keep up the good work

[@LatestHour]

Thanks for the honest review. Most reviews worship the Honey Badger but this gives an honest breakdown of the gun and it's very difficult to reassemble. I might hold off on that Honey Badger paint scheme now.

[@tunnelvision2218]

[@kyleruby2296]

Great comparison!

[@azukar2k7]

The question relates to where to spend my 💰 ... but thanks for the comparison 👍

[@tuck234]

Been super curious about both guns... Always wanted to try out a 300 Blackout rifle in a compact size as the Rattler, but it seems a bit steep for me. The honey badger is really cool too, but that disassembly is kind of a pain. I guess I'll wait a bit more and see what else gets developed...

[@temetnosce17]

The GQ Paladin is an excellent contender to these. Has the engineering of the SIG Rattler, but has the gucci aesthetics of the HB. Comes in at $2700 so middle of the road pricing between the three of these options. Takes down just like an AR.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

never seen one.

[@milehighbeerguy4586]

They're bad ass!!! love the gold

[@jvz1448]

It’s more like the HB than the Rattler. It’s just a really Gucci 7” AR. I have both but the rattler is more it’s own thing entirely .

[@sxleong]

4:24 SIGnificantly heavier ;)

[@isaacbell5646]

Awesome comparison thank you! For me a better comparison would be the galil ace pistol. Seems like they are going after the same market pretty much. Any chance of that happening?

[@RollingAroundwNicknAmanda]

Thank you for the honest review.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

+Nick Brungard try our best

[@joejeans7913]

ANR Design LLC question at the end of this review is would you buy this gun again if you lost it?

[@ronin2167]

Depends on where the weight is distributed. If it's toward the back more then it's more tolerable and easier to manage shooting. Personal preference.

[@gattac900]

Thanks man. Funny watching the industry try to appease customers who MUST Not abandon the AR history of worth. A gun that is a -fiddle fart- to assemble because of the design manipulation to cram a 10 pound design into a 5 pound bucket. Vs a design that removes the buffer tube, and keeps the AR ergonomics.

[@future_phonk]

I love the aesthetics of the Honey Badger, but I would trust my life with THE MCX.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

agreed

[@K0gashuk0]

Watching this again and handling a MPX SBR at the local shop the other night I would almost say to either keep the brace (it is almost the same as the stock but actually more comfortable) and keep it a pistol. A pistol would be 50 state legal if they pass the 50 state CCW or if you are otherwise eligible for 50 state carry (not to mention all of the states where you can possess a pistol otherwise.) My opinion the second option if you go the SBR is to go with the new small sig adjustable folder that is currently on the vertus series.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

+K0gashuk0 this brace blows. Chews you up after a day in class

[@werunguns]

Nice comparison, just subbed

[@MICHIG00N]

A full length handguard over a suppressor also prevents barrel flex when mounting on barricades. It allows for a mounting point so you aren't getting the suppressor causing accuracy issues.

[@DwightSproull]

That's why the MCX Tacops is awesome. 6.75" barrel with a 10" handguard, I believe.

[@anthonyelevatorguy]

Gas and Di is also a weight difference, but like you said this really not a good comparison, me personally I would prefer the rattler and the weight would not be a problem, I would think it can handle the recoil better.

[@rosswalther2538]

I'm not seeing any Virtus vs Rattler videos. Is there much of a difference?

[@calebfuller9591]

Everyone should keep in mind a few things. The honey badger is not a replacement for your ar15 or you 300 blk hunting rifle or your home defense rifle. It was specifically designed to replace the mp5 sd. That’s it. It isn’t meant for bashing skulls or laying down suppressive fire or for accuracy. It is meant for vbss and low profile ops. It is mission specific and frankly does a good job at its mission but not much more and q and Kevin are fine with that because they don’t deny it.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

Did you just say this gun isn't designed for accuracy? Lol. You should probably clarify that it's not designed for precision shooting. But it's certainly a very accurate firearm. I'm just expressing that it is not a hard used gun. The mp5sd is a pretty hard use gun.

[@calebfuller9591]

ANR Design LLC yeah my bad. Precision is definitely a better word. The mp5sd is hard use no doubt but you aren’t bashing skulls in with the stock like you were talking about. That stock seemed to have a good bit of wobble but it’s not like mp5 skeleton stocks are reinforced rebar.

[@Laotzu.Goldbug]

Well, if the Honey Badger was designed to replace the MP5 SD, it's doing a terrible job. The MP5 was a tank, much easier to disassemble and maintain, and certainly didn't have magazine or feeding issues. Whatever the original Honey Badger was, the current production version is a civilian toy. Definitely a cool looking gun, and probably great for plinking or hunting, but not a hard use duty weapon

[@4g63mark]

The funny thing about your explanation of the Honey Badger is that it wasn't selected as the replacement for the MP5SD. Q built it for that reason as you said, but it didn't make the cut.

[@TeensierPython]

The rattler did make the cut though.

[@gattac900]

Good review

[@atlnative8222]

I've had horrible experiences with sig rifles but I like this rattler a lot and will be getting one to try out

[@boofingdragon]

My Honey Badger runs 20 round Lancers just fine. That is what I use for Backpack carry.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

Honey badgers had issues off the first production run. It is a known issue and it has been fixed since then

[@thegolflife7565]

So which would You Get? Obviously there is some novelty to the honey badger that the sig just doesn’t have as there’s hundreds of thousands of them out there or at least I would assume as most distributors have hundreds in stock compared to zero Homer’s badgers...

[@ConcealedSteel]

Excellent video.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

Glad you liked it!

[@thegolflife7565]

American Defense ALG, although they should have put a geiselle or hiperfire in there... it’s weird you can’t pull one pin and open it like a typical AR. Is the Noveske Ghetto Blaster identical in terms of takedown? Or easier?

[@MRD0889]

One is gonna be a safe queen.. and the other is going places

[@rodneycooke6538]

Rattler all day! Because I own one and love it. My homeboy wants the Honey Badger and I’m encouraging him to make that his Christmas gift to himself! Shared the video with him today as well. Great video btw

[@Usicky12]

id be happy with either but goddamn my dads honey badger shoots the nuts. super fun gun

[@BossHugo84]

What's your Fav 300ACC Cann ? And 556 Cann?

[@K0gashuk0]

The problem with the full mags on the honey badger is because they drastically changed the physics of the weapon to fit the design. With the MCX they changed the design to meet the needs of the weapon system. IE you cant have the entire system rely on that one tiny little spring that gets jacked up when you put it back together.. That is one of the reasons the MCX has 2. That and they almost completely eliminate the evil piston carrier tilt. Remember the difference between subsonic and supersonic is drastic. It takes a pretty good gas system to get that right. You cant just lower the spring weight and continue to drop all the burnt powder in.

[@ANRDesignLLC]

+K0gashuk0 great comment!

[@Laotzu.Goldbug]

K0gashuk0 good point. And to be honest, from what I've seen with the one I have, the MCX doesn't have any carrier tilt at all. Unlike a short stroke AR, it's not really possible for the BCG to rotate inside the receiver. The whole piston system on the MCX is very well designed ( well, at least after the hiccups of the Gen 1 version)

[@MRCORPUZ360]

Easy with the goods man! Haha great video

[@ANRDesignLLC]

+Gianna Corpuz slamming them around?

[@thomasmason9070]

How does the charging handle aid in destroying an over gassed gun?

[@Chiefskingdom58]

So with the new ATF proposed rule changes this would be a SBR, 6-12 months in NFA JAIL, pay $200 tax stamp, registration of you & this firearm and all the interstate regulations that go with it. These are rules not laws, don’t let an executive branch of government that is supposed to enforce current law be allowed to arbitrarily change definitions and create confusing, subjective and complicated rules leading to ambiguity, these rules are an attempt to circumvent legislation and through executive action effectively ban all braced pistols. This is a clear overstep of ATF authority and purview. SCOTUS has previously stated that laws must be clear and simple. “Clear" means easy to understand or intelligible. It also means unequivocal or unambiguous. For a document to be described as clear, it must not only be easy for its audience to understand but also convey the same message to those who read it. The ATF rule change is intentionally extremely subjective in wording and provides a back door to ultimately determine a braced pistol to be a NFA item upon their final opinion and position despite otherwise passing their arbitrary scoring system. Ultimately, the Constitution is clear, under the 2A: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. It does not say government has the ability to determine what is an acceptable form of arms for the people to bear. It says shall not be infringed. The people have a right to own, carry, transport, manufacture, or modify arms as necessary to maintain a well regulated body capable of defense of self or nation, period. Please, contact your local, state, and federal representatives and congressman. Let them know we the people will not relinquish our freedoms and rights, given by God and enumerated in our Constitution. We will not allow subjugation of the People and tyranny by our governments an opportunity to take root. Then go to the ATF website and make a stand and let our voices be heard, provide a comment on this rule change as well as the other proposed regulations that infringe upon our Constitutional rights. If we don’t let our voices be heard then we allow our rights to be taken!

[@YuanMizzle]

I forgot to ask.... you prefer the 10” can on the mcx for 300blk? You referring to the 338ti-qd? Why that over the 762ti-qd?

[@andyjame1971]

Exactly as described

[@ANRDesignLLC]

thanks

[@garretthegun4982]

Mpx, Mcx, getto blaster, mp5, Scorpion (Honey Badger don’t care!)

[@thegadfly1951]

You can put a 6.75” barrel on the rattler. Actually you can put any barrel from the MCX line on the rattler.

[@kenblake9600]

If using a virtus barrel on a rattler upper you have to use a virtus Op Rod/Recoil Assembly since the rattler has a shorter op rod that will not be long enough to reach the piston on a virtus barrel

[@marianomesa8926]

The reassembly of the honey badger looks painful. I love the sig Sauer gas piston and ease of assembly are the selling point for me. I'm going to get me one. I really don't care about the weight.

[@williamw9120]

The last suppressed MPX I fired was gassy as hell... still the case? How does it compare to the Q?

[@hsharma3933]

William Woods if the MPX was gassy, I can’t imagine the Q would be better since it’s DI vs Piston.

[@cunexttuesday513]

Does you stock lock up tight on the HB? Does the chamber side stock rail have a large gouge in it where the locking block engages?

[@ANRDesignLLC]

Yes

[@maximusjoseppi5904]

How is this not a fair comparison.... They have to exact same intended use, exact same setup, same caliber. They're practically the same gun, different color haha Sounds like the rattler is much better, just a little heavier.

Great video. I love Q but Kevin gave up too many of secrets at sig. Their suppressers he designed are amazing, the taper mounts, and the mcx were all great ideas. I want to like q but there’s nothing q does better then sig other than maybe marketing and the erector. The Rattler is better then the honey badger, the sig QD is better then Q’s, sig makes inconel and TI cans opposed to Q’s ti only Rifle cans, and their direct thread cans are neck and neck. The Q erector is a game changer though, can’t wait for the 45 cal can.
