Army's New 9mm Submachine Guns Are Ready To Help Protect VIPs

The U.S. Army says it has completed fielding 315 new Swiss-designed 9x19mm APC9K submachine guns and has no plans to purchase any more. The service first announced that it was buying these guns, also referred to as Sub Compact Weapons, or SCWs, in 2019 as a new weapon to arm its protective security details.

The Army first announced that it had awarded the SCW contract to Swiss gunmaker B&T's U.S.-based subsidiary on March 29, 2019. That deal, valued at the time at more than $2.5 million, included provisions for an initial batch of up to 350 guns and options for purchases of as many as 1,000 in total. In 2020, the U.S. Air Force also announced it would acquire 65 APC9Ks by piggy-backing on the Army's contract.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Per the OP article, Mad Maxine, Swillwell, et al are not among those receiving protection:

The U.S. Army's Protective Services Battalion, assigned to the 701st Military Police Group, part of the service's Criminal Investigation Command (CID), is tasked "to provide world-wide, executive-level protection to the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, the Chairman and Vice Chairman, Joint Staff, the Secretary of the Army, the Chief of Staff of the Army, the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, the Chief National Guard Bureau, and their foreign counterparts on official visits to the United States and other Department of Defense High Risk Personnel as directed," according to the 701st's official website. "Further, the Battalion provides executive level protection for Senior U.S. Army Commanders during war-time and contingency operations as directed."

Not to worry, B&T.
You'll soon receive an order from the IRS for about 87,000 additional units...!

A 9MM is a 45ACP that is set on "stun".
