SIG put a new twist on the platform with the Rattler, though, equipped with a ultra-short, 5.5-inch barrel and chambered in 300 BLK. Though the 300 BLK is optimized for use in short-barrel guns, ammo availability can't hold a candle to the ubiquitous 5.56 NATO, so for 2019, SIG expanded the Rattler lineup to include a 5.56-NATO variant in 2019.
