The MPX series has already been extremely popular with tactical and shooting professionals– and for good reason. The 9mm Copperhead is the latest – and the smallest so far – of the MPX pistol-caliber family.

The gun incorporates the powerful MPX’s same short-stroke, gas-piston operating system as its bigger brother.
This may be pistol-caliber, but it most certainly delivers a high impact message.
This is the sort of weapon you’d see in a Jason Bourne-type film where Bourne doesn’t have a pistol next to the bed for home defense against assassins– but this hard-hitting micro machine gun that attaches to the shooter’s forearm.
That’s right, this is hardcore firepower that a shooter can mount on their arm…very Bourne-ish. SIG Sauer's new Pivoting Contour Brace provides a flexible stabilizing platform and supports the shooter’s arm movement.
