Four configurations: APC9K, APC9PRO, APC9 SD Compact, and APC9K-SD2.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe APC9 HPA series isn't a gas conversion or a quick HPA bolt-on. Archwick collaborated with MechLabs to integrate a specially modified XX-Mod mechanical HPA engine directly into the APC9 chassis, with airflow tuning optimised for the platform's compact frame and short inner barrel. The result is a UK-legal HPA SMG with no batteries, no FCU, no solenoid noise — just a crisp mechanical trigger that fires the moment you pull it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrigger response is the practical advantage of a fully mechanical HPA SMG in CQB. There's no motor to spin up, no solenoid coil to cycle, no FCU delay between trigger contact and BB launch. The XX-Mod fires the BB on the same trigger stroke that releases the sear. For close-quarter play where reaction time matters, this is measurable on a high-speed camera and immediately obvious on the field. The system is also waterproof, so APC9 owners can play through any British weather without worrying about electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExternally the APC9 series is what you'd expect from a fully licensed B\u0026amp;T platform. CNC T6061-T6 aluminium upper receiver with milspec Type III hard-anodised finish, CNC steel internal parts, ambidextrous non-reciprocating charging handles, mag releases and bolt catches on both sides, M-LOK handguard, 1913 STD accessory rails, IMI flip-up sights, and an AR-style pistol grip that can be swapped for any standard M4\/M16\/AR-15 grip. The Pro features a side-folding polymer UMP-style stock; the K models use a multi-position steel telescoping stock with rubber buttpad; the SD variants ship with a mock suppressor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel selection summary — the four variants share the engine and receiver but differ in external profile. APC9K is the compact base SMG. APC9PRO is the full-size variant modelled on the US Army SCW submission. APC9 SD Compact adds a 75mm single-stage mock suppressor and a side-folding stock. APC9K-SD2 is the integral-suppressor compact variant with a removable extension barrel that lets you switch between CQB and standard configurations. All four use Archwick APC9 magazines for high-ROF feeding reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:16px;color:#1B3A6B;margin:18px 0 8px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#1B3A6B;color:#fff;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:7px 12px;text-align:left;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:7px 12px;text-align:left;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eLicence\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eOfficially licensed by Brugger \u0026amp;
