#H&KMP7

NATO Battle Group Lithuania posted some great images, perfect for our Photo Of The Day. We have the Heckler & Koch MP7 In Eastern Europe – NATO Battle Group Lithuania

In 2007 Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was released, and players experienced the latest and greatest in firearms technology in high resolution. Players of the series found themselves immersed in a game with new guns, and not forced to use those same old re-rendered guns their grandparents used in WWII.  Since its release, the Modern Warfare series has taken the world by storm. Recently I found myself in the SilencerCo Batcave with a sound meter already set up, and a little extra time to spare. So like a kid in a candy store, I asked if we could meter some of my favorite guns from the Modern Warfare franchise, and they kindly agreed.

Chambered in 4.6x30mm, the HK MP7 was designed in the ’90s specifically to defeat Kevlar body armor.  With no civilian version available, the MP7 has developed a cult-like following over the years.  As opportunities are few and far between to shoot these, I’ll jump at the chance to shoot an MP7 whenever possible.  Lucky for me, Jake from 1911 Syndicate reached out recently about doing a video on this iconic machine pistol.

Photo Of The Day: In a post about “ Values ​​in the Army“, the Ejército de Tierra – Spanish Armed (Land) Forces – posted this picture of the Heckler & Koch MP7 with this caption.

What could possibly trump our previous U.S. Marine with camouflaged H&K MP7?

We’re looking at five German Soldiers stepping out of an Austrian C-130 Hercules of the European Tactical Airlift Program.

Norway has a special relationship with the Heckler & Koch MP7 (from Maschinenpistole 7), as they are most likely the country that has bought most of them. If we trust Wikipedia as a source, the numbers are around 6,500 as it replaced (some of) the HK MP5s. Even some soldiers in the Norwegian Home Guard have it.

Today’s Photo is the Heckler & Koch MP5, as used by the Norwegian Home Guard.

The day before yesterday it was 40 years since the German Special Forces group GSG9 stormed the Lufthansa Flight 181 in Mogadishu, Somalia, and rescued all of the 86 passengers.

During September 2017 there is a large Military exercise in Sweden called Aurora 17.

At Enforce Tac this spring Heckler & Koch Germany displayed the HK237 and HK337 officially for the first time, but there were no details to be had. Now we’re teased with some more technical details.

Independant Studio Service s aka ISS Weapons posted a picture of a rare MP7 Deployment briefcase. I have not found any information on this if it is an actual H&K product like the original MP5K briefcase which you can see Rusty’s lightning review here. The MP5K briefcase was designed to fire the MP5K while it was concealed within the briefcase. The handle was fixed and had a trigger linked to some linkages that would actuate the MP5K trigger.

These pictures (below) are almost 10 years old, but I hope the readers of this blog can help me figure out if the Heckler & Koch MP7 was real or fake.

the Arc’teryx Khard backpack fits the H&K MP7 perfectly. Pack organization is by Velocity Systems. They make insets for the Khard backpacks. Check them out here  https://www.velsyst.com/store/arc-teryx-leaf-khard-inserts.html.
