MP7 used to be a failed PDW for fat tankers but nowadays it has this weird cult following because it was adopted by operators?

Debatable. With suppressor and stock extended it isn't more compact than your regular SMG

Maybe, but weight is terribly unbalanced
>quiet
Nope, .45acp suppressed is quiet, but with the MP7 even if you minimize the gas report the sonic crack still remains. And you don't want a fucking .177 go subsonic, enjoy your full auto pellet gun.
>shootable
What kind of metric is that?

This gun does not need to be more compact than a regular SMG, it does not need to be balanced, it does not produce a sonic crack within 5 yards.

It's not an easy task to enumerate what SOF units from various nations are using at any given point in time. What we do know is they've showed up in US, French, German, and UK hands
Maybe they see the MP7 as better at that size than a short AR?
5.56 gets pretty miserable as the barrel lengths get closer to single digits
It's probably more than adequate for CQB while still being able to reach out and address targets at further ranges thanks to being fairly flat shooting (from what I've read)

That's because it never went beyond the concept phase. I don't think they even made a single functional prototype.

Pretty much the story. MP7 and P90 and their corresponding cartridges were developed to meet a NATO request. 4.6 got BTFO so H&K never even got around to finishing their companion handgun. All the voting countries except Germany said yes to making 5.7 NATO standard, with the P90 to fire it.

To my knowledge, the MP7 design wasn't an issue though, just the 4.6 cartridge.
>>
>>29827122
>the MP7 design wasn't an issue though, just the 4.6 cartridge.
DESU the MP7 is the better PDW platform, the 5.7 cartridge just happened to be the superior round at the time.
Who knows if further development/testing after a decade has changed anything for 4.6 though, but it does appear that the MP7 has been a very popular choice in use amongst team guys for a while now, and I'm sure subsonic rounds are in use.
>>

I don't know why I laughed so hard.

Anyways PDW is a role designation, not a technical designation. Kinda like DMR.

They have the mp7 because with its caliber it punches through armor even up to 300 meters. Im in the german military and its light, compact, has a lot of power but literaly no recoil.
>>
>>29827122
It's more like HK took the original PDW requirements (weight less than 1.5kg) seriously and tried hard to make their weapon as light as possible. P90 is almost 2 times overweight. Caliberfags focus on the wrong shit, as usual. Both rounds fulfill the penetration requirement.

>>
>>29823425

Well the BTP officers I see in Waterloo station definitely have full-auto capable AR variants with 30 round magazines.

But it's probably due to the fact that the likelyhood is that police will be operating in an area where there may be collateral targets so careful, considered shots will always be used over spray and pray. Also something about having to account for every single round fired.

That's really cute. But there's nothing stopping us from using rifles anyway. The Abrams holds several M4s for the crew, and a M240 that can be turned into a dismounted weapon. If you need an SMG because there are people doing some fury shit, and crawling all over your tank, you fucked up. Most countries realize this too, you see a lot of european vehicles with things like AKS's and the works.
>>
The MP7 is unavailable to civilians and for good reason. We all know that’s technology no civies should ever get to lay their hands on. This is a purpose-built weapon with no sporting applications to speak of. It is made to put down scumbags, and that’s it. Mike Cabrera of Heckler & Koch Law Enforcement Sales and veteran law enforcement officer with SWAT unit experience points out that this is a gun that you do not want in the wrong, slimy hands. It comes with semi-automatic and full-auto firing modes only. Its overall size places it between a handgun and submachine gun. Its assault rifle capabilities and small size make this a serious weapon that should not be taken lightly.
>>
Did this thing replace the mp5 for SOF types or is it used for something else.

>>29827772
Get your shit together.

You're receiving the MP5 schallendampf series using super-sonic ammo.

The suppression is so good it turns normal bullets sub sonic before they leave the muzzle.

With a "wet" suppressor, most of the noise you're hearing is the bolt slapping back to the chamber you nimrod.

Not in any meaningful capacity, if you look at pictures of American SOF their may be about a 3% chance that they are running a PDW/SMG. This number is also substantially less if you only look at pictures from the past decade (the MP5 was slightly popular during the initial invasion of Afghanistan). The only major power that I know of which runs SMGs regularly is Russia with the Vityaz.

France does the same shit, in a way. Elite cops have access to select fire weapons while street cops are limited to semi-auto ones, such as the Mini 14 or the latest G36C with a longer barrel. On the other hand they've still got a bunch of full auto SMGs, go figure what the fuck is wrong in the head of the people in charge deciding those things.

Burgers and krauts can't into proper subsonic suppressed guns so they stuck with lowest supersonic caliber in the attempt to be sneaky. Finally after 50 years burgers reinvented subsonic 7.62x39 with 300 BLK and could go away from 0.17 peashooter. And who knows maybe after another 50 years they would make their own 9x39 mm.

"Flat" shooting means that the cartridge/firearm produces a relatively long maximum point blank range for a reasonable target height, not that the bullet physically travels in a perfectly straight line.

LWRC UCIW.

The SAS' request was for a 5.56mm weapon that could be fitted with a suppressor with >22 inch OAL (sans suppressor) so that it could be stowed in the glovebox of cars.

Pic related shows the UCIW used by UKSF dog handlers, alongside the L22A2 SA80 carbine (same 22in OAL as the UCIW but was not desirable for the SAS' needs)

It competed against the HK416c and won - AFAIK because of better recoil characteristics. >>29828333 is a subsequent development taking a similar approach to the 416D with the stock design, but I'm not sure whether UKSF followed up the UCIW order by buying the IC PDW

>what happened
The MP7 was not originally intended as a primary weapon. It was intended as a more lethal alternative to a handgun. Which is why they make holsters for it. Same vein as machine pistols and shit like the TMP that kinda bridge the gap.

Well turns out REMFs don't get shot at enough to justify tens of millions of [currency]s to rearm them all with a nonstandardized caliber, and nations are willing to figure out how to cram full size rifles into vehicles (often at the expense of the crew's comfort) instead. Which is why it (and literally every other PDW) "failed".

Meanwhile SOF, being kinda apart from everything, tend to use what they think is a good fit. Slap enough extra crap on an MP7 and it kinda-sorta passes as a rifle while weighing significantly less and being significantly smaller than an actual rifle with all the same crap on it. And since they almost always need to travel light, it works for them.

Doesn't mean it doesn't have drawbacks though.

>>
>>29827237
>and I'm sure subsonic rounds are in use
No they're not. I can guarantee it.

The MP7 is direct blowback. It is literally mechanically impossible to have an MP7 capable of firing both supers and subs without breaking, much less being reliable, due to the HUMONGOUS difference in operating pressure. They can't significantly increase bullet weight to build pressure either, due to mag constraints and bullet jacket thickness. Which means you'd have to have an MP7 with a bolt for supers, and a second, separate, entire MP7 with a much lighter bolt for subs. And they'd look identical.

Then we get into the terminal performance. The 4.6x30 standard load is a 26gr bullet. A 26gr bullet at 1050fps at the muzzle will have 64 lb-ft/86J of energy. That's less than half of standard velocity 40gr .22lr (135 lb-ft) and about 70% of your average $100 pellet rifle.
>b-but what if they used a heavier boolet?
Fine. If they used a round nose bullet instead of a spitzer, they could load up to a *massive* 36gr bullet before they run out of magazine length. Since they still have to keep it subsonic (~1050fps) that increases the energy to a *whopping* 88 lb-ft of muzzle energy, or about 75% of standard .22lr.

Most of the PDW now being used around the world are just issued rifle or carbine.
And that's good enough.
>>
>>29829101
You're almost there.

"Flat" shooting means that the optimal zeroing for a particular use of the rifle produces a long maximum point blank range, a term which is itself defined by the precision required (dogs have smaller vitals than deer etc).

You can make any round have a "flat" trajectory by moving the point of aim lower, it would just decrease the MPBR, similarly you can also zero a very "flat" shooting round for a very very very far away distance and the MPBR would also be very short due to the climb.

The AK-74u is mainly for people who joined the army, but don't want to hold a huge gun all day. Officers and the like would carry it.
>>
>>29828014
If you're non frontline personnel and almost never use it but have to carry it, which is what the PDW was intended for, then you care a lot about the weight.
>>
>>29821782
compact, light and gets the job done which in the case of PDW weapon is defending one self or other people by releasing enough lead towards the attacker to make them run for cover. PDWs primary purpose is to give you or your pals enough time to escape or keep the enemy entrenched long enough for your reinforcements to arrive. That's it. You don't need it to be the most accurate around and since it's only for certain ugly surprises you want it to be light since most of the time you wont be needing it.

I really like this "hk hates you meme" meme.

Does anyone not know that they stood up for gun owners back in the 80's and 90's? Let's disregard Germany's extremely retarded export laws and ontop of that, our extremely retarded import laws.
>>
>>29833791
And heavier. Even when both guns are empty. With ammunition the weight difference is significant.

>>29828218
Norwegian here serving the army. Where did you serve?
>>
>>29833861
They could, of course, set up shop in the US like Beretta and SIG-Sauer and make those scary assault rifles here and thus avoid both sets of stupid laws. But they don't.

>>29833864
>P90: 2.6 kg (5.7 lb)
>MP7: 1.90 kg (4.2 lb)

My god! The weight difference is astounding! True, this is empty weights and doesn't factor in the ammo but it is not like a person that would carry either one would have thousands of rounds on them.
>>
>>29832111
That's more about cost than anything else. It's not economically wise to buy new PDWs if you have a storage full of carbines that can do the job almost as well. Especially if it's not your ass carrying those things around since carbines are generally more heavier than special built PDWs.

>guarding nuclear facilities
Did somebody forget to tell the Bongs that the goal is to NOT over-penetrate in a nuclear facility? Did they think DOE developed these because they're so god damn sexy?

They could not have picked a worse small-form firearm. Except maybe a SCAMP or something ridiculous.

You've probabl never been part of any military operation what so ever or you're a grunt who lacks the understanding since you've always hauled huge amounts of weight on you and think everybody else is a giant pussy for wanting to carry less.

Unnecessary weight is unnecessary hindrance. You never want haul unnecessary shit around when you got a important job to do.

I'm a grunt and even I understand this.

>le epic nuclear scare meme

You're not going to penetrate any part of a nuclear reactor with an MP7.

>>
>>29833991
I'm sorry for your bad genes.
>>
>>29833920
The difference in weight is because the P90 carries more bullets.
>>
>>29833997
I never said I was going bald, retard. I said I wished I could have that much hair when I'm older. Learn to reading comprehension.
>>
>>29834001
I would assume the extra weight is because the MP7 is a gas piston and the P90 is straight blow back. P90 has a pretty heavy bolt.
>>
>>29834001
I know. It's like I'm talking to a total idiot here.

Why do you need a huge amount of bullets if you're not expecting to use them? Even in the offchange you have to use your PDW it's only for the purpose of breaking away from the engagement or waiting for the actual combat guys to arrive. If you need a lot of ammunition for that you're so deep in shit your practically dead already..
>>
why do special ops have a history of using guns hated by grunts?
eg. SAS using the M16
>>
>>29834028
Grunts hate everything and everyone.. Even if you'd give 'em hypothetical prefect firearm they'd still find something to complain about it.

As a grunt I know these things.
>>
>>29834028
>>29834044
It is because to be a grunt you have to have failed somewhere in life. Grunts are just cannon fodder. They're not that bright and are easily replaced. Grunts tend to join the military because of "serve the country" or because they have no real means to make a living so they become glorified welfare queens.
>>
>>29834055
The smart ones seem to complain the most. It's all about asking yourself why the fuck didn't you choose the easy road.
>>
>>29834025
Every gun needs 50 rounds. 30 rounds is a pittance. If you get surprised, odds are you'll be outnumbered, so you need 50 rounds.

>>29834092
Every single soldier needs a smg, dmr, mg and antitank systems amd ammunition on them all times and haul them around everywhere they go at all times just in case right? It's not like that shit would get in the way of doing your actual job.. Go back to playing COD/BF kid.

the quality would be shit.
you already have HK-usa and thats where all the "hk hates you" memes come from.
they got the great idea to make a backwards HK-usa proprietary keymod on the 416s.

HK is okay here in europe. FN is the assholes here, when it comes to civillian market

Yeah but popular with SOF for a long time too for obvious reasons.

Is it normal to carry 2 MP7s?

Do operators ever carry clips of bullets and reuse empty mags to save weight?

I mean cmon, all they have to do is provide proof that these are civilian guns. Just like CZ or HK or Bushmaster does.

Author of that Val pic wrote that yes he carries ammo on clips in his assault backpack. If there is a pause in the firefight he refills empty or partially magazines which happen from tactical reloads.

So we are just going to over look the obvious explanation to why Seals are using the MP7? How about because no one else can have it but them, special snowflake weapons are trademark for SOF.

Isn't that the one where a gun magazine went all "oh this is cool as hell but the rest of you shouldn't get to experience this"?
Tell people they can't and they will want it.
