The Army put out a solicitation for a new submachine gun last year and until now, other competitors seemed likely favorites.<\/p>\n<p>After selecting the six most appropriate options, the Army asked each company to send in 15 guns for testing earlier this year, completing the competition in record time.<\/p>\n<p>Of the six companies vying for the contract, B&amp;T seemed an unlikely underdog. Other companies fighting for the contract included Angstadt Arms, Global Ordnance, Shield Arms, SIG Sauer and Trident Rifles, with SIG in position to take the lead.<\/p>\n<p>SIG recently landed a contract with the Army and Air Force to replace the vast majority of their sidearms with P320-based M17 and M18 pistols. Since then every branch of the military has gone on to adopt the M17 and M18 to some degree.<\/p>\n<p>The Army and Air Force selected SIG pistols not only for their solid performance throughout the trials but also for their exceptionally low price. When it comes to the Army&#8217;s Personal Security Details, price may have been less of a factor.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_107912\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107912\" title=\"The Army Selects B&amp;T for Its Sub Compact Weapon System\" class=\"wp-image-107912 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/BT-36090-1024x476.jpg\" alt=\"The Army Selects B&amp;T for Its Sub Compact Weapon System\" width=\"1024\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/BT-36090-1024x476.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/BT-36090-150x70.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/BT-36090-400x186.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/BT-36090-768x357.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/BT-36090.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-107912\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It comes with a 3-lug barrel or an even shorter standard barrel. <em>(Photo: B&amp;T)<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Army is starting with an order of 350 B&amp;T submachine guns based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bt-ag.ch\/shop\/eng\/bt-apc9apc45\/bt-semi-automatic-apc9-pro-k-cal-9-x-19-mm-bt-36090\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"army-sub-compact-weapon-system\" title=\"The Army Selects B&amp;T for Its Sub Compact Weapon System\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">APC9-K<\/a>, the compact version of the commercial APC9. Unlike the APC9, which has a side-folding stock, the K model has a wire telescope stock that almost disappears completely when stowed.<\/p>\n<p>It also has a shorter forend and barrel options. Full details on the final configuration are still out. The Army has reserved the option to purchase 1,000 more SCWs if they are happy with the performance of these guns outside of a testing environment.<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/sig-m18-goes-36k-rounds-in-army-testing-with-zero-failures\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"army-sub-compact-weapon-system\" title=\"The Army Selects B&amp;T for Its Sub Compact Weapon System\">SIG Pistols Go 36,000 Rounds in Army Test With Zero Failures<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>It has ambidextrous controls, non-reciprocating charging handles and comes with a 5.4- or 4.3-inch barrel and uses an Aimpoint Micro TL optic as the primary sighting system. It weighs about 5.7 pounds unloaded and measures in at just over 13.5 inches collapsed.<\/p>\n<p>The APC9-K is a semi-automatic short-barreled rifle but the military version is select-fire, chambered for 9mm NATO. B&amp;T typically ships these with one 15-round magazine and two 30-rounders, a case, a cleaning kit, a sling and a manual, but the Army package may be different and does include spare parts.<\/p>\n<p>The contract, including support and training on the new system, is worth $2,575,800, or about $7,350 per gun for the first 350.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army selected a new Sub Compact Weapon, or SCW, for its Personal Security Details, and surprise, it&#8217;s a Brugger &amp;
