ST Kinetics CPW (Compact Personal Weapon)

Earlier this year at the Singapore Airshow, Singapore Technologies Kinetics, otherwise known as ST Kinetics or STK, the Singaporean firm who make the Ultimax 100 machine gun, announced their a new PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) type sub machine gun called the CPW (Compact Personal Weapon).

According to the STK brochure and the pieces of info I picked up on the internet:

  • Can be holstered
  • Lighweight
  • 7″ Barrel
  • Multi-caliber. Currently available in 9mm (30 round magazines)
  • Translucent pistol grip to check rounds in the magazine
  • Comes standard with reflex sight. Iron sights are an optional extra.
  • Retractable stock
  • Low recoil
  • Low cost

Specs:

Length: 350mm
Barrel Length: 180mm (7″)
Mounting system: 2 sets of picatinny rails
Weight without accessories: 1.5kg (3.3 lbs).
Firing modes: semi and auto (selector can be seen on above photo)
Method of operation: delayed blow back
Rate of fire: 900 to 1100 rpm.

I would assume they will also offer a typical PDW round such as the MP7’s 4.6×30mm or the P90’s 5.7×28mm.

The gun looks very similar to the MP7 and I think would be in direct competition with it. It weights less (MP7 weights 4.19 lbs/1.9kg), is slightly shorter in length and has a similar rate of fire. I think the CPW’s main selling point is cost.

This looks like a prototype. It has a slightly
different trigger to the one above.
