- FirearmsTo build an AR platform unlike any other, WMD Guns coated every exterior surface with our performance coatings. So you get a finish that’s 40% harder than chrome, and incredibly resistant to moisture, corrosion, and wear. We coat key internal components with NiB-X® to reduce friction and wear, for an action that’s incomparably smooth, utterly reliable, and as close to self-cleaning as you can get. It’s all hand-built and test-fired by our expert gunsmiths.
