This video explores the BXP, a compact 9mm carbine developed in South Africa. Originating from modifications made to an impounded LDP carbine by farmer Andries Piek in the late 1970s, the BXP evolved into a proprietary design. Initially a fully automatic submachine gun, it later transitioned to a semi-automatic civilian carbine. The video highlights its mechanical similarities to the Uzi, including a telescoping bolt and magazine in the grip. Production involved multiple manufacturers over the years, with Truvelo currently holding ownership of the system. The BXP is described as well-made, reliable, and durable, despite not being elegant.
This video provides a detailed gel test and review of Browning's .40 S&W BXP 180 gr X-Point ammunition. The test is conducted using a Glock 22 with a 4.5" barrel, firing into Clearballistics ballistic gel to measure key performance metrics such as velocity, penetration depth, projectile expansion and fragmentation, and retained weight. The video also credits Ventura Munitions and Savage Arms for their support and directs viewers to TFBTV's Patreon page.
