United States Air Force Purchases B&T Submachine Guns
B&T, Inc. has announced that the United States Air Force has purchased B&T submachine guns, namely the APC9K PRO guns in 9mm. These ultra-compact weapon systems are destined for specialized service and close personal protection use within the branch.
“B&T is honored to have our APC9K PRO selected by the United States Air Force. We’re pleased to know that specially trained airmen will be equipped with the finest equipment available to not only ensure their personal safety during challenging assignments, but contribute to the overall success of their mission,” stated Jon Scott, vice president of sales, B&T USA.
The United States Air Force is the second branch of service to purchase APC9K PRO sub-compact weapon systems after identifying an operational need for a highly concealable, submachine gun. Previously, the U.S. Army chose this weapon. At less than 15-inches in length, the APC9K is optimized for low visibility carriage and discreet deployment; use in and around vehicles, and within confined spaces — all while delivering unsurpassed accuracy, controllability and ergonomics.
Submachine Guns Configured For Pistol Mags
These B&T submachine guns, model APC9K, utilize a hydraulic buffer system to drastically reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise. It is the most compact version the APC9 PRO line. The platform features functional updates to include dual auto-folding, non-reciprocating and ambidextrous charging handles, improved lower receiver ergonomics that include a side-positioned bolt hold open/release, removable M4 compatible grip, and Magpul M-Lok accessory slots located on the forend. Additionally, the APC9K can be equipped to accommodate Glock 9mm magazines, SIG P320 magazines or proprietary B&T magazines, by simply switching the non-serialized lower receiver group.
