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.
