The CMMG Banshee MKGS in 40 S&W represents a purpose-built AR pistol platform engineered to maximize the ballistic potential of the 40 S&W cartridge within a compact footprint. Designed for discerning operators requiring a potent, reliable, and ergonomic weapon system, the MKGS integrates advanced operating principles with high-grade components for consistent performance.
Key Features
Radial Delayed Blowback Operating System
Central to the Banshee MKGS’s performance is CMMG’s patented Radial Delayed Blowback operating system. This mechanism precisely mitigates felt recoil and optimizes the firearm’s cycle timing, ensuring smoother operation and enhanced target acquisition for rapid follow-up engagements, particularly with the 40 S&W cartridge’s inherent power.
Integrated Receiver and Ergonomics
Constructed from durable aircraft-grade aluminum, the receivers are finished with a robust Black Armor Cerakote for superior resistance to wear and environmental factors. The MKGS platform is specifically engineered to accept readily available small 40 S&W Glock-pattern magazines, providing consistent feeding and broad compatibility. Ergonomic interfaces include CMMG Zeroed pistol grips for positive control and an ambidextrous charging handle, facilitating intuitive operation for both right- and left-handed shooters. A polymer dust cover protects internal components from ingress.
Barrel and Handguard Configuration
The Banshee MKGS utilizes an 8-inch medium taper barrel, treated with Black Nitride for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. The barrel is threaded, allowing for the integration of muzzle devices or suppressors. A 7-inch CMMG EML M-LOK free-float handguard is precision-machined, providing a stable platform for mounting accessories without compromising barrel harmonics or accuracy.
Performance Trigger System
A CMMG drop-in trigger is factory-installed, providing a crisp and consistent break to optimize shooter interface and precision potential.
