The next evolution of the AR15. Chambered in the iconic 5.56x45mm cartridge, the DISSENT is unlike any other AR15 Personal Defense Weapon, ditching the buffer tube and traditional AR recoil system in favor of our patent-pending Compact Action.
In addition to the revolutionary Compact Action that shrinks this AR pistol’s footprint significantly, the DISSENT features a forward non-reciprocating side charger that allows you to charge the weapon without coming off target.
TriggerTech AR-D 2-Stage Trigger
TriggerTech’s AR-D trigger was developed in collaboration with CMMG to be fully optimized for use with DISSENT firearms and upper receiver groups. With a 4 lb pull weight, the AR-D trigger showcases a light, repeatable break. CMMG does not guarantee optimal DISSENT functionality with Mil-spec or other aftermarket triggers.

The 5.56X45mm NATO cartridge was designed by James Sullivan, a member of Eugene Stoner's engineering team that developed both the M16 rifle and its original cartridge. The 5.56X45mm NATO was adopted by the U.S. military in 1964 and by NATO in 1980. With bullet diameter of .224-inch, the original M193 military cartridge used a 55-grain bullet at 3250 fps; the current M855A1 cartridge, developed by FN, uses a 62.5-grain bullet at 3020 fps, offering greater range and better penetration. The civilian version of the 5.56X45mm is 223 Remington; the cartridges are dimensionally identical but military chamber dimensions and specifications for military brass are different. It is considered safe to use 223 Remington ammo in a 5.56X45MM NATO chamber, but not a good idea to use 5.56X45mm ammo in a rifle specifically chambered for the 223 Remington. Although the stopping power of .22-caliber bullets remains controversial the 5.56X45mm has served well in now multiple generations of M16 rifles. — Craig Boddington
