Truvelo BXP
Notes: This
weapon is a conventional blowback-operation submachinegun built on the
telescoping bolt pattern. The
cocking handle is U-shaped, to allow a proper line of sight when aiming even
though it is on top of the receiver.
The 8.2-inch barrel is threaded to accept a silencer, or a flash
suppressor that is the proper size to fire bullet-trap type rifle grenades.
The trigger is two-stage; though the manual safety is a separate switch,
the shooter fires single shots with a half-pull of the trigger, or full
automatic with a full pull of the trigger. Standard equipment for the BXP
includes the Armeson Occluded Eye Gunsight, a lightweight optical sight that is
included in the cost of the weapon.
The 22-round magazine has not been produced for a long time, and is rather rare.
A semiautomatic
version is also built; this is identical for game purposes except for not being
able to fire on automatic (or modified to automatic fire without considerable
difficulty), and that the under-folding wire stock of the standard BXP is
deleted. The Armeson Occuded Eye
Gunsight is also not included in the pistol version, nor does it include the
attachments for a silencer. For some parts of the world (largely in Africa, the
Middle East, and South/Southeast Asia), this version is sold as the BXP Tactical
Pistol; in North America, South America, and Central America, it is called the
Phoenix.

Notes: In the Twilight 2000 timeline, the manufacturer of the BXP would Mechem,
a division of Denel; Denel would be, in the Twilight 2000 timeline, still a
division itself of Armscor.
Merc 2000 Notes:
