If you're comparing 5.56 supers to .300 subs, then no. .300 has other benefits, like being able to run subs and supers without having to change anything out. And that you can actually get a heavy bullet in there that still feeds from the magazine, something that 5.56 was never intended to do. |

300BLK's advantage is that it will cycle in the same gun as supersonic rounds will, it fires .308 subs without the wasted case capacity or action length, it feeds from a standard AR15 magazine, and it reaches velocity in a very short barrel. It's not quieter than smaller bore subsonics, but that's not the purpose of the round. It's simply quiet enough. |

.45ACP. If this GIF doesn't explain why .45 is the best anti-personal round that can be fired out of a pistol at CQB distances, then I guess atleast it shows its worthiness as an anti-tank round. |
