Weapons of Modern Warfare - MP7

In this episode, we're taking a look at the MP7. The MP7, or 'Maschinenpistole Sieben' is a weapon that makes its debut appearance in Modern Warfare 3. It's a German weapon, manufactured by Heckler und Koch - and while designated as an SMG in-game, can be better described in real-life as a 'Personal Defence Weapon', or PDW. Personal Defence Weapons have largely displaced the submachine gun and machine pistol in their roles with rear echelon troops - with their ability to better penetrate body armour, they retain effectiveness where standard pistol calibres might prove ineffective. They have has found a place in the hands of special forces units, as well - replacing weapons such as the M4 carbine on missions that require manoeuvrable close-range power. The MP7 can trace its design roots to the H&K G36 - as both weapons share the same gas-operated action. The short-stroke piston replaced H&K's trademark roller-delayed blowback system, as employed in the G3 rifle, and MP5 submachine gun. H&K's first attempt at a Personal Defence Weapon was a modification of the MP5 - in 1991 the MP5K-PDW variant was introduced, in an attempt to fulfil a NATO requirements for such a weapon. Lacking the ability to pierce body armour, however, the MP5K-PDW saw limited success. The Belgian FN P90, introduced in the same year as the MP5K-PDW, performed slightly better. Similar to the MP7, it uses a higher-velocity, smaller calibre cartridge for effectiveness against armoured targets - and an unusual top-loading magazine configuration. Other Personal Defence Weapons include the Russian PP-2000: chambered for 9mm Parabellum rounds but taking advantage of specially-designed ammunition; The Knight's Armament Company PDW - designed to be familiar to those trained on the M4 platform; and the Magpul PDR: a futuristic compact bullpup that fires NATO 5.56 ammo and takes standard mags. These weapons, including the MP7, all share similar characteristics: their compact size, lightweight manoeuvrability and high-velocity ammunition make them ideal close-quarter weapons. The MP7 entered production in 2001, introduced alongside its proprietary cartridge: the HK 4.6x30mm. The bullet contains a steel core to aid with penetration, and with a muzzle velocity of over 700 metres per second - double the speed of a 9mm round - it's not hard to see why this custom cartridge performs so well against armour. In addition to the MP7, the 4.6mm round was planned to be used in the now-cancelled HK UCP: A sidearm in the same vein as FN's Five-seveN pistol, which uses the same cartridge as the P90. Magazines for the MP7 are of a standard box type, contained within the pistol grip. They're available in both 20 and 40 round capacities. Rate of fire is quite high, at 950 rounds per minute - and paired with the lower recoil of the smaller cartridge, automatic fire can be quite effective. The MP7 weighs in at a mere 1.5 kilograms when unloaded, and measures a diminutive 340 millimetres with the stock folded. Unfolded, the weapon extends to 540 millimetres - a little over half a metre - and the barrel itself is 180mm long. Since its introduction, the MP7 has been adopted by many different agencies: including the Austria's EKO Cobra, the German Army and GSG-9 units, UK Police forces, and the United State's SEAL Team Six: with whom the weapon was purportedly used during the raid of Osama Bin Laden's compound in 2011. The MP7 in MW3 has earned a reputation as a terrifyingly effective weapon, with its low recoil granting very effective performance. Just like its real-life counterpart, it is lightweight with rapid handling characteristics: and can dominate close-range engagements. It might be designed for Personal Defense - but the MP7 is equally comfortable on offense.
