wait! what about the dangerous pressure levels generated by the supersonic ammo oh the humanity....

So are they are going to chamber in black out or whisper or both? Or do they mean fireball since JD isnot chambering them?

I am not sure why they are marketing it as both.

That would be like marking a rifle as 22-250 / 22 Varminter. It just leads to the confusion that has plauged the 6.8 world.

Endless people are going to call them to find out which chamber it has.

[Spook]

What if they copied your chamber and are calling it a Whisper (R)? OMG is nothing sacred?

[Mike Bell]

Smith & Wesson's 300 is only different in that it's chambered in 300 Whisper, a wildcat cartridge that the 300 BLK is remarkably similar to; it is only shorter in overall length, which means that 300 BLK can be safely and accurately fired in a gun chambered in 300 Whisper, which is ballistically identical but a little more expensive

I wonder if S&W's decision to mark their barrels has anything to do with not wanting to give "props" to Remington. Something akin to their marking all their automatics chambered in 45ACP as "45 AUTO" rather than acknowledge the "Colt" part of the name.

A guess, that's all it is...
