B&T USW-A1 BT-430001

The USW is not just a new weapon but an entire new category of weapon that fills the gap between Pistol, Submachine Gun and Police Carbine. In order to react to the quickly changing threats faced by police forces all over Europe, especially those threats presented by terrorist, law enforcement needs to quickly rethink its armament. The recent terroristic attacks have proven, today’s police side arms are not able to cope with an opponent armed with military assault rifles and bomb vests. This is the main reason for the development of the Universal Service Weapon (USW). It was to designed to be a weapon which enables the first responder, thus the normal patrol officer, to intervene effectively in the event of a terrorist event. It is also a sidearm that is suitable for every kind of “normal” police work. The USW is a Swiss designed, Swiss engineered, Swiss produced and patented service weapon that combines the size of a normal duty pistol but extends the range and accuracy to that of a 9 mm police carbine. The weapon is a system. It is delivered with a B&T designed Level 3 retention holster and the new, state of the art, Aimpoint NANO micro red dot sight, the newest and most modern sight produced by the well-known Swedish company. The kit also includes the B&T Advanced Pistol Light (APL), 3 magazines (17, 19, 30 rounds), a single point sling with sling loop, a cleaning kit and a polymer transportation box. The various types of attachments for the holster (belt/thigh/MOLLE) will provide safe and reliable portage of the weapon during all missions. The user does not require any further investment to put the weapon into service.
