The BXP is a South African 9mm firearm designed by Andries Piek, evolving from his LDP carbine. Produced by multiple companies from 1984 onwards, it features a blowback action, available in semi-auto (closed bolt, hammer-fired) and full-auto (open bolt, fixed firing pin) variants. It utilizes 30-round Walther MPK/MPL-based magazines and an under-folding stock, offering manageable recoil and a reliable, albeit basic, design.
