FAQ
Does this pistol come with a brace?
Yes, the CMMG Banshee Mk47 ships with the CMMG Rip Brace installed. It’s adjustable and designed to stabilize the firearm without requiring an NFA tax stamp.
What magazines does it use?
It accepts standard AK-pattern 7.62×39 magazines. We recommend CMMG’s own magazines or quality aftermarket options like Magpul or KCI for reliable feeding.
Is this pistol legal in my state?
This is a pistol with a barrel under 16 inches, so it must be transferred as a Title I firearm. Check your local laws regarding barrel length, magazine capacity, and brace configuration. We ship to all 50 states, but you are responsible for compliance.
Can I suppress this pistol?
Yes, the barrel is threaded 5/8×24 TPI, so you can attach a 7.62mm suppressor. You will need to file a Form 1 with the ATF if you plan to use a vertical foregrip or shoulder stock.
How does the 12.5-inch barrel compare to a 16-inch barrel?
The 12.5-inch barrel loses about 150-200 fps compared to a 16-inch barrel, but it’s still effective for defensive use out to 200 yards. The shorter barrel makes the pistol much easier to maneuver in tight spaces like home hallways or vehicles.
