The Honey Badger was originally designed by Kevin Brittingham during his time in Advanced Armament Corporation (AAC) as a modern AR15 style alternative to the HK MP5SD. The weapon was designed in conjunction with a new caliber - .300 AAC Blackout that can be fired effectively suppressed and unsuppressed from a very short barrel with better terminal results and improved sound signature than a 9mm round. AAC was then sold to Remington and the Honey Badger was never commercialized. Brittingham then resurrected the project at his new company - Q, which now manufacturer and sale the weapon. The Honey Badger is available in both .300 AAC Blackout and 5.56mm.
The Honey Badger was developed with a standard M4 upper and lower receiver, a short barrel with a very short gas impingement system and fast rate of rifling twist, integrated detachable customized suppressor, and a proprietary buffer tube and collapsible stock featuring two prongs. While with the added suppressor it is 3-6 inches longer than the MP5-SD, the weight is nearly identical unloaded.
