    The apc9k: We get hands-on with the army’s new smg

    This is a very small and concealable SMG that will be used for personal security details.


    THE APC9K: WE GET HANDS-ON WITH THE ARMY’S NEW SMG

    The APC9K in living color

    The Army’s requirement for a submachine was called the subcompact weapon program, and it wasn’t based on a need for any old submachine gun. What they wanted was a very small SMG that was superbly designed and easily concealable with the right equipment. The weapon will be used by personal security details for high-ranking officers, visiting politicians, and similar folks.

    They wanted more firepower than a pistol, but something shorter and easier to use in vehicles than a rifle, something capable of being fired in super close quarters, and something that could be easily concealed when necessary. B&T delivered on each count with a firearm that features a 4.3-inch barrel, a 14-inch overall length with the stock/brace collapsed, and a paltry weight of just 6.7 pounds.

    In person, the APC9K is quite small but feels very stout. Its size makes it deceptive. Based on looks alone, you’d expect it to be a little bit lighter than it is. They just pack a ton of gun into this small package. It is lightweight, but it certainly feels dense. B&T constructed the lower receiver from polymer and the upper receiver from metal. Due to the squat nature of the weapon, it’s very well balanced.


    The pic is the civilian version. The military version has a folding stock instead of the arm brace and full auto.

    The B&T Advanced Police Carbine has been around for a while. It is a good gun, but I am not sure why the military would choose it over any other subgun out there.

    They have made a number of weapon choices recently that don't make a whole lot of sense.The most obvious is the new service pistol choice.
