The Phoenix BXP is a South African 9mm submachine gun developed in the 1980s as a domestic alternative to imported firearms. The BXP was designed to be a compact, simple, and cost-effective submachine gun for law enforcement and military use. It featured a blowback operation with an open-bolt design, and it was capable of both semi-automatic and fully automatic fire. Its ergonomic design and ease of use made it popular among South African police forces during the late apartheid era. Production figures for the BXP are modest compared to more well-known submachine guns, but it earned a reputation for reliability in urban counterinsurgency operations. The BXP saw use well into the 1990s and beyond, though it has been largely replaced by more modern designs in both police and military service.
