The latter product is based on the design of the USW-G (Universal Service Weapon-Glock) exoskeleton, which premiered at IWA 2019 in Nuremberg, and this, in turn, on the heavily modified Sphinx pistol, on the basis of which the first USW was created. Variants for Glock 17/19, Walther PPQ and SIG P320 are currently available.
The USW-P10C/F is mounted on the bottom accessory rail of the gun and tightened with a screw. It covers the entire upper part of the weapon, leaving the pistol grip and manipulators exposed. In the front-upper part of the conversion there is a handle for charging the gun, then the ejection port, and finally the base for a microcollimator. The exoskeleton is equipped with a minimalistic folding stock on the right side of the weapon, the latch of which can be easily released with a finger of the right hand. At the front, under the original rail of the gun, there is a Picatinny section enabling attachment of a flashlight or a laser sight. The B&T USW- P10C/F is not available yet, but the premiere is expected soon, and the price will be 380 CHF.
Another new product from Switzerland, which was to debut at the canceled IWA Outdoor Classics 2020, is a telescopic stock for SMGs from the Heckler & Koch MP5 family. The design was taken directly from the B&T APC9 submachine guns. The stock is a drop-in part and requires no tools to attach. It completely replaces traditional stock intended for the MP5 by replacing the entire stock mount. To do this, one has to remove the stock pin, slide off the old stock, attach the accessory Swiss part and put the pin in its place.
The B&T stock consists of two flat steel guides, with three notches for length adjustment, a polymer butt plate with a steel frame, and a locking mechanism located at the bottom and operated with the thumb of the firing hand. The main advantage of the B&T stock seems to be its low weight of 495 g, i.e. from 21 to 47% less compared to other models available for this weapon. The big advantage is also the possibility of extend the stock without using the locking mechanism, by just pulling it back, as in the CMMG RipStock in the Banshee carbine, also made by B&T. The price is not yet known.
