The BMP-23 is a 5.56mm pistol that retains the innovative design elements of its predecessor while incorporating modern enhancements. Featuring an 11.5” chrome-moly barrel and an AK-47-style gas piston operating system, the BMP-23 delivers reliability and performance in a compact, lightweight aluminum and steel construction weighing just 5.2 lbs. Built-in iron sights and a unique 40-degree swivel design allow for seamless right- or left-hand operation.
“The BMP-23 is exactly what my father would have built if he had access to today’s materials and machining capabilities,” said Mack Gwinn III, President of Hydra Weaponry. “We’ve taken his groundbreaking design and brought it into the modern era while staying true to his vision of a compact, powerful, and versatile firearm.”
The original Bushmaster Arm Pistol was developed as a compact survival weapon for aircrews and Special Forces, borrowing key elements from both AR-15 and AK-47 designs. Now, decades later, the BMP-23 honors that legacy while providing modern reliability and ergonomic improvements. MSRP is $2,350.
