The Swiss manufacturer Brügger & Thomet has confirmed they are working on an Advanced Police Carbine in .300 Whisper. The rifle is expected to arrive in early 2014 .

Positive cross-compatibility aside, in many non-U.S. countries outside the USA, the .300 BLK or AAC Blackout hasn’t caught on as a replacement to the .300 Whisper name. Europe has had its own parallel development of the wildcat round. Ammunition is currently being made for them in-country by RUAG using 5.56 virgin casings. I consider this further proof the appeal and popularity of the cartridge isn’t losing momentum.

The APC family currently includes the following production or prototype models.

• APC9 SMG
• APC9 semi-auto
• APC9 Suomi semi-auto
• APC45 SMG
• APC223 semi-auto
• APC556 assault-rifle
