Officially licensed B&T APC9 series electric guns are now in stock, according to a report by Airsoft Milsim News on 28 May 2026. The range is produced under licence from B&T, the Swiss maker of the real APC9 family.
The models
The APC9K is the compact version. It has a short receiver and is aimed at players who want the smallest possible gun for close quarters games.
The APC9 SD Compact has an integrated suppressor. The suppressor is tracer ready, with a 28mm fitting, so a tracer unit can be fitted inside it. The SD Compact also has an extended M-LOK handguard and a folding stock.
The maker ships orders from Europe from a warehouse in the Czech Republic, and orders from the rest of the world from Taiwan. No prices were given in the report.
The real gun
The B&T APC9 is a 9mm submachine gun made in Switzerland. The US Army adopted the APC9K as its Sub Compact Weapon, issued to personal security details and others who need a small, powerful gun. The APC9 has also been bought by police and military units in a number of countries.

A tracer unit lights up glow in the dark pellets as they leave the barrel, so the shooter and others can see where each shot goes. Tracers are popular for night games and indoor sites with low light. An integrated tracer ready suppressor means a player can fit one without adding length to an already compact gun.
What it means for players
Compact submachine guns are a common choice for close quarters games. The APC9K's small size makes it easy to carry through doorways and corridors, and the folding stock on the SD Compact helps with transport.
Players should check their site's rules on full auto and on rate of fire, especially indoors, where many sites set lower power limits for automatic guns. Tracer units must also be allowed by the site, and some sites limit them to certain games.
Because the range is licensed, the guns should carry correct B&T markings, which will matter to players who build loadouts around real units. In the UK, any realistic replica must be bought with a valid defence, such as being a regular skirmisher at an insured site.
