X95 smg

Lore & Background

The X95 SMG is chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum and is also available as a conversion kit. When configured in 9mm, the X95 uses a blowback system to cycle through the ammunition, while using the same body as the gas-operated rifle system. It uses Colt 9mm SMG magazines. The barrel is of the same length as of the rifle configuration, but has a 1:10 in rifling twist to stabilise the heavy 9mm round. A suppressor can also be attached, as part of the 9mm conversion kit, or as part of a replacement handguard which integrates the muzzle brake, suppressor, and handguard.

Reader's Guide

The X95 SMG represents a versatile option within the X95 family, allowing users to convert a 5.56mm assault rifle into a 9mm submachine gun with a relatively simple conversion kit. This capability provides flexibility for close-quarters operations where a pistol-caliber weapon may be preferred. The use of Colt 9mm SMG magazines ensures compatibility with a widely available magazine type. The blowback action in 9mm configuration differs from the gas-operated system of the rifle variants, yet the weapon retains the same bullpup body. The availability of a suppressor as part of the conversion kit or integrated handguard further enhances its utility for specialized roles. As a dedicated model and conversion option, the X95 SMG extends the adaptability of the X95 platform across different mission requirements.
