The Wise Arms WA-15B is an AR-pattern semi-automatic pistol chambered in 5.56 NATO/.223 Rem with a 7.5-inch threaded barrel and a 30+1 round capacity. It has a Tungsten Cerakote finish and ships with an SBA3 pistol brace. The short barrel configuration means transfer as an SBR requires additional federal paperwork.

Owners of the WA-15B in Tungsten generally appreciate the Cerakote finish quality, describing the color as a clean, muted gray that holds up better than standard anodizing under regular range use. The SBA3 brace is a well-known quantity and gets no complaints on its own.

The 7.5-inch barrel is the most divisive element. Shooters who run it suppressed or as a truck gun find the length practical. Those shooting it unsuppressed at indoor ranges report significant blast and concussion, and some note that 5.56 NATO from a 7.5-inch barrel loses meaningful velocity compared to longer configurations.

Wise Arms as a brand occupies a middle ground in owner perception. Some buyers see the WA-15B as solid value for a compact AR pistol. Others note limited aftermarket support and suggest the platform is best left stock rather than used as a base for extensive builds.
