Going from some quick specs and reviews, I'd lean towards the rmr due to the smaller size, larger window, and better battery life. Apparently a lot of people have been seeing the acro run out of battery in days instead of months or years

They essentially created a lipstick can of a round that has the same muzzle energy as 7.62x51 but fires from a standard m4 magazine. Forget ballistic coefficient or long range. If someone's within around 150 yards, they're having a giant hole put in them.

@littlebitt08 sorry for kate response. Had work stuff going on. But basically just EDC and home defense. I've been looking at fort Scott munitions but didnt know if there was something better. I'm running a cz p10f.

Inrange's mud test usually ends when they litterally shove mud into the chamber, no gun is designed for that
