Should You Buy the B&T TP9?
The reviewer tests the B&T TP9 suppressed submachine gun at various distances from 10 to 100 yards, finding it accurate at shorter ranges but losing precision at 100 yards. Despite its appealing appearance, the reviewer concludes it's like a Ferrari without performance.
Summary
The review focuses on range testing of the B&T TP9 suppressed submachine gun, with the reviewer noting they'd prefer an MP7 but it's unavailable to civilians. Starting at 10 yards, the weapon performs exceptionally well with the first three shots landing in the A box and the second group achieving approximately 1.5 inches. At 25 yards, the performance remains excellent with rounds 'stacking' in tight groups. Moving to 50 yards shows some degradation with shots spread between the triangle, A box, and C box areas. The critical failure point comes at 100 yards where accuracy becomes unacceptable. The reviewer acknowledges uncertainty about 9mm effectiveness at longer ranges but expresses clear disappointment with the 100-yard performance. The final assessment is particularly harsh, comparing the TP9 to 'a Ferrari without the performance,' suggesting that while it may look appealing, it fails to deliver where it counts most.
