A personal sidearm with the effective range of a 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 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 solution – The Universal Service Weapon (USW)
The B&T design team reinvented the historical concept of a handgun mounted with a shoulder stock for modern times. The USW extends the effective and accurate range of the service pistol by exploiting the human factor of a steady hold to the shoulder provides maximum stability. The 9×19 mm caliber USW is enhanced with the Aimpoint ARCO P1 red dot sight. In the role as a service pistol on patrol, the USW can be safely and easily carried in a special holster and used like a normal pistol in the event the stock is not needed. If a policeman is a “First Responder” to an active shooter event, he is able to take immediate action at a safe distance even against heavily armed terrorists.
The USW concept is also available as a conversion and upgrade kit for other widely used service pistols.
