Overview

The BXP is a South African submachine gun developed by Mechem (a division of Denel). It was designed in the 1980s as a compact and lightweight SMG for military and police use. The BXP uses a telescoping bolt blowback system to minimize length while retaining a decent barrel. It is chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum and feeds from a 32-round box magazine. The BXP has a distinctive look with its side-folding wire stock and integrated mounting points. It was designed for close-quarters combat and as a personal defense weapon for vehicle crews.
