APC9 SMG (BT-36000) APC9 Carbine (BT-36001)
APC9-P Carbine (BT-36005) APC9-SD (BT-36024)
APC45 (BT-36020) APC45 Version
B&T believes that the .45 ACP is not dead. As a matter of fact we
believe that it has many uses in today law enforcement world. There
has been a noticeable increase in the desire for a carbine or a sub-
machine gun firing larger slower bullets than the recent crop of
weapons designed to fire light, fast bullets. This puts the APC45
in a unique position of being one of the lightest and most compact
.45 ACP carbines on the market today. Another interesting point is
that the hydraulic buffer reduces the recoil of the .45 ACP cartridge.
This allows a tight shot group with a three round burst.

1. Stock – While the APC9/APC45 comes
with a foldable but not length adjustable
stock (top), two other foldable telescopic
stocks are available. The telescopic stock
(middle) has an additional clamp-on check
rest to add an extra 12 mm in case special
scopes (e.g. night vison) with a higher mount
are used. The helmet stock (below) will ena-
ble the operator to use the APC while proper-
ly wearing a ballistic face visor, a protective
mask or SCUBA gear. The telescopic stock
(lowermost) does not widen the dimensions
of the gun when collapsed.
2. BT Weapon Mounted Light – This state-of-the
art tactical illuminator was designed from the
very beginning for B&T by the well-known
INFORCE company as weapon light not as a
handheld flash light modified to weapon use.
It is very lightweight (100 gr), the solid state
design is impervious to shocks and powerful
enough to produce more than 125 lumens
of output. The light is small in size (10cm
length), does not require cables which can
easily break and is activated with a simple
pressure switch designed to be easy to ope-
rate with gloves.
3. Brass Catcher – This accessory is an
absolute must when working in, on or around
vehicles, ships and aircraft. The containment
of the hot brass is important wherever com-
bustible materials are present. The brass catcher
mounts directly on the right side NAR/Picatinny
rail. It pivots easily and quickly for manipula-
tions and safety inspections.
Quick Detachable Vertiacl Foregrip – Provides the
shooter with a stable shootign grip and keeps
the support hand away from the muzzle.
There are several versions with a retractable
bipod available.

4. Magazines and Magazine Clamps – B&T offers a
variety of magazine sizes, suitable for every
task the operator might face. i.e. the 15 round
magazine (12 rounds .45 ACP) for concealed
carry within a close protection team or the
30 round magazine (25 rounds .45) for overt
missions like SWAT interventions.
B&T additionally offers a magazine clamp. It
will permit the user to mount two magazines
together in parallel when seated in the maga-
zine well. This will enable the operator to
make swift and efficient magazine changes
in any tactical situation. B&T also produces a
magazine pouch that will fit both magazines
clamped together.
5. Sound Suppressors – Due to the many
advantages suppressors offer, these accesso-
ries are a must with modern police and
military weapons. As learned in the actual
asymmetrical conflicts a good suppressor
will bring safety and security to the user.
Some of the most noticeable benefits are
sound and muzzle flash reduction, command
& control, friend/foe identification and of
course hearing protection. B&T offers several
suppressors, which can be attached to the
APC9/APC45 within seconds and without
any tools. A suppressor does not degrade
accuracy, but rather in many cases improves it.
6. Manipulation Gun – The red manipulation ver-
sion is an inert gun, where all parts are ma-
chined as not to be interchangeable with live
weapons. It is impossible to switch out parts to
make it a live weapon. However all controls
function identically to the live weapon, giving
the student a completely realistic but complete-
ly safe training “weapon”.
Training Ammunition Gun – B&T also offers a blue
training model for such ammunition as Force
on Force
®
, Simunition
®
and UTM. These inter-
active marking ammunitions are a must for
modern professional training.
