The Swiss Brügger& Thomet AG brand (more commonly known as B&T AG) is not only widely known for its suppressors, the iconic MP9 and USW submachine guns or sniper rifles such as the SPR300 (a replica of which we had the pleasure of reviewing: Archwick B&T AIR SPR300 PRO). It also includes carbines chambered in 5.56x45mm. A replica of the APC 556 design (English: Advanced Police Carbine) was presented in the offer of the Kraków-based Taiwangun store.
The replica uses standard AR-15/M4 AEG magazines, however its lower receiver is made of polymers while the upper receiver is made from an aluminum. It features a long top rail running the full length and three rail sections on the handguard (including two removable side sections). The B&T design and its replica are fully ambidextrous and feature a reversible charging handle, duplicated controls in the form of a safety/selector switch, magazine release button and bolt release lever. While the original is available with various stock options, the Action Sport Games replica uses a sliding variant. This may be dictated by the need to place the battery in the upper receiver, inserted through a hinged flap.
Thanks to the license, the replica features full B&T markings. According to the technical data, it uses a standard V2 gearbox with 8mm bearings, quick spring change system and an additional programmable Falcon EFCS 3.0 system, and it generates a muzzle velocity of 410 fps. Two mid-cap magazines are supplied with the replica and the price listed on the site is 288,26 EUR.
