    Well you did turn up here and ask people to do your searching for you, which is either lazy or ignorant. I know for sure that at least one two of the Irish retailers has the MP7 listed as available on their site.

    You should take the time to do some legwork yourself before you come here looking for help.

    i Didn't ask to do my searching for me, my god please read my first post, i asked advice from users of the mp7, !!
    why reply to a thread when your not,
    its irrelevant to post, you can buy them in a shop dude or adverts,
    insinuating something beyond the obvious and not helping the thread question that was indeed first posted

    It was over 30 minutes (and some sarky comments) later, that you added the bit about wanting advice from people who own one.

    The problem with the airsoft forum is that it has so many subsections that nothing gets posted on the front page, and anything that does, regardless of quality or interest languishes on the front page for weeks.

    Airsoft questions or Airsoft technical would both have suited this, WTF is the front page for anyway?

    I ask because this train wreck has been staring me in the face since its been posted every time I log on.

    Fair nuff.

    As an MP7 owner, I can tell you you have 3 options. Most people have touched on them already.
    • Gas Blow-back (GBB) - the more expensive, and more demanding (cleaning, maintenance) route, but GBB guns are the coolest when you fire them. Moggser has his second hand, and Eirsoft is selling them as well.
    • TM AEG - what I have. This is at first glance underpowered (270fps) but has TM's excellent quality internals which will make up for it, and it has the best battery change system there is. Airsofteire stock the TM MP7. It is pricey, and people here will debate all day whether it is worth it. I have one, and I like it.
    • Other AEG - I believe Well do one. It's a lot cheaper than the TM, but there is a reson for that. When I bought my MP7 18 months ago they had a **** reputation and retailers wouldn't stock them/warned me away from them. I don't know if things have changed.
    Advice from an owner :)

    And as Stercus said this would have been better in the questions section.

    agree with wht is said her, i have one a good while, 2 years now and its excellent, though if you buy it get some mag brand midcaps tm hicaps are crap and tm midcaps are horrfically priced

    I'd have to say the only way is the TM version. although as stated it has low fps and sounds like a cricket having a fart, the range is that of any rifle I've met. Rate of fire is low enough but this is a tool for CQB enviroments.

    I have to say its the one piece I will never sell and may start upgrading to higher rate of fire.

    Accuracy and range as the two big sell points and its impressive beyond description. The piece does have feeding issue on semi auto and sometimes on full auto but I tend to overlook it as a minor flaw.

    Mag brand midcaps are the only way to go for reliability.

    I'm going to try get myself setup with some sort of setup to make me use the kit more, with some sort of proper sling and mag holding rig, at the moment I just dump everything into a pouch.

    For the price aswell, a mere €250, it probably the best CQB piece I've seen in the game.

    I'm either going mental and imagining things that I think I've remembered imagining ... or else I've seen drop-leg units for extended (i.e. the siccle-shape sort) mp7 magazines. When I get a GBB mp7 sorted, I'll be looking into similar

    I use these for the extended mags and they're grand; the lip on the mag can catch a little but not enough to be a problem. I have one of those sling swivel add-ons and a Magpul Multi-Mission sling which I'm not crazy about, but one-point is probably the way to go alright.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    Have you had look at a Chalker Molle sling , simple to use and clips on to any molle vest/platform

    A word of warning to others reading this. Not all MP5 mag pouchs will take MP7 mags. Best to check before purchasing if you can.

    I always use a Laylax Satellite bungee sling. Utterly brilliant for an MP7. Attached with one of these sling swivels instead of the built-in plastic rear sling-points as I found them to be pretty weak and preferred to have the central sling-point for easy transition to my other hand when needed.
    Only downside of the bungee sling is the pretty weak carabiner on it ( unless they've changed it since I bought mine ), but that can be replaced very easily. I put an ickle titanium one on mine.

    Best dump pouch IMO for extended MP7 mags is the rolypoly mini dump pouch. Keeps it out of the way until needed, very low profile when folded, still pretty small even when opened. Perfect shape for MP7 long mags.

    I'd agree with what's been said about the TM mags. They're not great. STAR or MAG midcaps are the way to go. I normally use STAR 100rd midcaps and have been using them trouble free for years.
