@Car Ant:
Care to explain why it’s ‘garbage’? Or should I disregard that as your biased opinion?

The weapon is garbage. Again, the engineers and not the users have ruled the day and have been co – opted by their higher ups, in my opinion. Orders are orders, and so this hyper velocity lightweight peashooter was born. Truly a solution in search of a problem.

I am worried that this will displace actual SMG’s. It is not an SMG, it ‘handles’ in a subtle(!)but different manner. Much more training and familiarization is required.

A short case length version of the 556 NATO or SOCOM round would be interesting.

Good Luck.

I am a Master at Arms in the Navy. I am currently attached to Harbor Patrol Unit at NSA Bahrain. We currently arm up and patrol the piers and water with M-4 carbines and also a 9mm. I am completely confident that my M-4 will be able to “do the job” if it ever comes to firing it to disable a threat, however carrying the long arm on a small patrol boat and in a van to our post causes problems. There is not enough room to maneuver the weapon in the vehicle or on the small water craft. I believe the MP-7 could solve the issue of maneuverability as well as provide sufficient firepower and accuracy to engage threats from considerable distances due to the fact that with our force continuum ROE we are only allowed to use deadly force if that threat is within 100 yards of us. Also, being that this particular weapon is a gas operated weapon with a bolt system, it will provide a certain amount of reliability against weather conditions and dust, sand, and water which we come into contact with on a regular basis. If i may, I would suggest putting a dust cover over the bolt to keep closed when not engaging targets as an added measure of security against the weather and other environmental issues. I strongly believe that our command should make the switch to this weapon or possibly incorporate it in our daily operations for safety and performance benefits. We don’t necessarily need a weapon that can fire effectively at long ranges. We use our M240s and M60s for that reason. Why not make the switch to a smaller, accurate, powerful and effective weapon that provides rapid fire, more mobility and less of a personal discomfort to those of us that deal with the M-4 in confined quarters with all of our gear on. I know as a left handed shooter, carrying the long arm proves to be a considerable problem due to the magazine release button being pressed against my body and letting the magazine fall when trying to move in tight spaces. In my opinion, that can be a huge disadvantage for me or any left handed shooter carrying this weapon that has to engage a threat with limited room to operate.

A truly devastating weapon. Having had a play with one I was mostly impressed by the immediate lack of weight in comparison to the MP5.
Very accurate, very effective.

I’ll stick with my trusty 1911 .45cal. and trust in my ability to place a leathal shot, every shot.
We see a generation of LEO’s that are video gamers with a spray and pray mentality.
Use stand off capability whenever possible.
