Heckler & Koch MP7 SMG for Sale

Heckler & Koch MP7 sub machine gun was developed by the famous Heckler & Koch company of Germany. Originally this weapon was known as the HK PDW or Personal Defense Weapon. It was designed as a competitor for a successful Belgian Belgian FN P90.

Currently it is in service with Germany and more than 20 other countries, including South Korea and the United Kingdom.

   The Heckler & Koch MP7 is a gas operated, selective fire weapon. Its internal design resembles that of the HK G36 assault rifle, but scaled down. Otherwise it has a layout of a typical sub machine gun. This SMG is chambered for a new Heckler & Koch 4.6×30 mm high-velocity ammunition.

This ammunition is also used by the HK UCP pistol. The 4.6×30 mm round fits the gap between pistol rounds and rifle rounds. It is superior in terms of range and penetration to the standard 9×19 mm Parabellum round, used by most sub machine guns.
