The side-folding polymer stock is fully adjustable for comb height, length of pull, and is colored authentic Flat Dark Earth (FDE).
The APC series was designed in the 2000s, as a modern submachine gun that would be cheaper to produce than the intermediate cartridge assault carbines that were seeing an increase in military usage during this period. The APC uses a straight blowback gas system, however the addition of a proprietary hydraulic buffer system in the receiver back plate helps dampen recoil. In 2019 B&T was awarded a contract from the US Army which included an order for up to 1000 units.
