Incredible Swiss Folding Gun: The B&T BWC

Incredible Swiss Folding Gun: The B&T BWC

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves visits B&T in Switzerland to see their take on the folding carbine, the B&T BWC (“Because We Can”). The BWC is a 9mm folding SMG/PCC that uses a Sig P320 fire control unit or “FCU” meaning that the BWC itself is not a firearm, but a frame or chassis. This means that this folding pistol chassis is unregulated – a mere accessory. A Sig P320 owner can buy this chassis like any other unregulated accessory because it does not come as a complete firearm. Once you purchase it, you need only insert a Sig P320 FCU and slide/barrel upper, and you have a complete folding carbine.

Per Nick Chen of The Firearm Blog:
“The BWC-9 from B&T somewhat resembles the Magpul FMG-9. It looks like it has a carry handle fixed to the top rail and they have an Aimpoint Acro mounted underneath. Just below the top rail, you can see a slot that looks like it is for the charging handle. [T]he operation is similar to the Magpul FMG design. The B&T BWC-9. A limited run, coming later this year. Uses a SIG P320 trigger group and carry slide. When deployed, the stock portion is raked at an angle rather than being parallel with the chassis. This is to allow the shooter to get a lower cheek weld and aim through the Acro.”

    The US needs to get rid of the FFA. I should be able to keep an 8.5" 300 Blackout with a suppressor in a backpack in my car.



  2. Daniel on May 3, 2023 at 4:00 am

    B&T is like rich Keltec



  3. Brian McClellan on May 3, 2023 at 4:01 am

    What is the point- they should make it look like a boom box so i can open carry it to daytona beach- edit – nevermind- he said sbr so i am a sucker for an sbr- sign me up



  4. Glasshopper on May 3, 2023 at 4:02 am

    Where is the files for the 3d printed version? 😂



  5. Florida Man Explains on May 3, 2023 at 4:03 am

    I wonder if it takes sig 320 mags



  6. Wangan300 on May 3, 2023 at 4:04 am

    Cut the lower half of that "stock" and make it a pistol.



  7. Thum on May 3, 2023 at 4:05 am

    does anyone know where to find a B&T USW-G17? was it only small run cause I can’t seem to find it anywhere in stock?



  8. DARIVS ARCHITECTVS on May 3, 2023 at 4:06 am

    Still waiting to see this available…



  9. Osborne on May 3, 2023 at 4:07 am

    Honestly better than the Magpul offering



  10. Dante Haroun on May 3, 2023 at 4:08 am

    this dude has become the "tacticool but useless" gun youtuber



  11. Douglas Shouganai on May 3, 2023 at 4:08 am

    100 units at $1500 or less? 1000 units would be a little cheaper, and progressively so as they produce more assuming they tool up with the intent to make a large number…. they could feasibly cut the cost down per unit significantly.



  12. Ron Medcalf on May 3, 2023 at 4:08 am

    This is an item every collector will need to own. The fewer they market, the more valuable they will become. What ever the number marketed, all will be sold by the end of the first week. I would bet my house on it! – – – – So, this post is 3 months old, what happened? How many are going to be offered to the public? (suggestion: get rid of any sign of a picatinny rail)



  13. Phomex0702 on May 3, 2023 at 4:09 am

    Man, the P320 was the best thing SIG has ever done



  14. kenneth w. Davis on May 3, 2023 at 4:13 am

    I want one ☝️



  15. nrosario on May 3, 2023 at 4:13 am

    I want one



  16. Charles Baldassano on May 3, 2023 at 4:14 am

    I hope they make a straight stock version, the drop angle aesthetic bothers me for some reason.



  17. Only One Cannoli on May 3, 2023 at 4:15 am

    James, the explanation for the why the magazine has to be out is quite simple…Lay off the liquor and weed son.



  18. Scott Kyger on May 3, 2023 at 4:15 am

    This this begging for a cerakoted job to look like a Ghost Trap from Ghostbusters



  19. Triston Martin on May 3, 2023 at 4:17 am

  23. Tekno Logik on May 3, 2023 at 4:20 am

    good videos , but you need to turn your mic audio UP in your videos on your final mix, depending on your software you should be able to to warm up the vocals, maybe its your mic, killer little kit



  24. PSR on May 3, 2023 at 4:22 am

    I’m sweating 🥵



  25. Truth_ on May 3, 2023 at 4:27 am

  26. Duane Vickrey on May 3, 2023 at 4:29 am

    Gimme, gimme, gimme!



  27. david b on May 3, 2023 at 4:29 am

    I like the idea, but I still like the current ZEV design better. FDP-9, and FDC-9. Hopefully they’ll actually hit the market late this year or early next year.



  28. Douglas Shouganai on May 3, 2023 at 4:30 am

    Next we need them to make a gun called the BBC.



  29. Menandro Plan on May 3, 2023 at 4:30 am

    B&T made firearm or a Magpul x Zev firearm? Pretty easy choice….the Europeans sure know how yo engineer amazing guns



  30. Mictlāntēuctli mexica on May 3, 2023 at 4:31 am

    USA army vehicle units or any small vehicle.The stock is the key for me and the control u get also u could make a mp7 version with that stock it would be great for tank crews



  42. JoeUglyFatMama on May 3, 2023 at 4:42 am

  45. J Toast on May 3, 2023 at 4:46 am

  47. Daniel Reyes on May 3, 2023 at 4:50 am

    It’s like a KSG chambered in 9mm 💪🏻



  48. Slim Rhyno on May 3, 2023 at 4:50 am

    Damn, James! You didn’t have to go that hard in the intro, but I’m happy as f*** that you did 🤙



  49. marco waterhouse on May 3, 2023 at 4:52 am

    If this is just a Glock and Glocks are legal in California. Are the FMG9 legal in California? I have tried to search Google and didn’t get a definitive answer. Does anyone know for sure without speculating?



  50. Bryan on May 3, 2023 at 4:53 am

    If it doesn’t come with the fcu, barrel, or slide……then it’s WAY overpriced. I think 600 would be a little more reasonable but still not as desirable, when you can get an MCK with attachment points you can actually use for around 200. Sorry, just my personal opinion. Would only be worth the 1200 or so if it came complete, with warranty and silencer capabilities.
