#Mp7

The title of this Photo Of The Day kind of sums up what it’s all about. While your eyes are on the Heckler & Koch HK M110A1, you’re missing a lot of interesting details. Note that H&K calls it a “variant“, and although it’s difficult to see all details in an image like this, it seems several things have been changed. The handguard looks different, for starters. The suppressor seems to be a B&T (for the G28), and not the OSS SRM6. The backup sights are different and the stock might be too. The riflescope looks like the excellent Schmidt & Bender 5-20×50 PM II Ultra Short. This is most likely a Made In Germany project, and you take what you have.

According to Wikipedia, very little is known, but: “the majority of this unit’s missions are confidential and public information is not available. Since its inception, GSG 9 has participated in over 1,500 missions, yet reportedly fired shots only on five occasions (official count, prior to the 2003 Iraq War). These occasions were Mogadishu in 1977, Bad Kleinen in 1993, Aachen in 1999 and two more missions where firearms were used to shoot dogs of the persons being arrested.”

Join James Reeves as he takes you on an exclusive journey into the world of the Czech counterterrorist unit, URNA. James visits URNA’s state-of-the-art facility to train alongside their elite operators and work through their arsenal, including the legendary Heckler & Koch MP7 and 416, and their Glock 17 sidearms. From mastering the compact and versatile H&K MP7 to experiencing the renowned reliability of the H&K 416, this video provides an up-close and personal look at the firearms that URNA relies on to protect their countrymen.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves discusses two of the best submachine guns ever created, the Heckler & Koch MP5 and MP7, and he pays a special visit to the Czech Republic to perform research, including a stop at the Sellier & Bellot ammunition testing range, and training with the elite Czech counterterrorist unit URNA.

If you’re familiar with the company Tommy Built Tactical, then you’ll no doubt know exactly what the term “TMP7” implies. That’s right, Tommy Built made the effort to make an MP7 and through Gun Dog Armory has opted to auction it off with a starting bid of $90,000. However, despite the relative popularity of the MP7 platform and its status as practical unobtainium within the firearms universe, the auction for the TMP7 failed to get any bids before the item listing ended. I still think it’s pretty cool that Tommy Built Tactical made the decision to build one and is offering to sell it off to a willing customer who might have the extra six figures to throw at such a rare and prestigious item. However, in stark contrast to other firearms we’ve featured here from Gunbroker.com, I don’t think there is any arguing that this one is 100% a Hot Gat.

Which is the best carry gun for the people who take the photos for TFB’s Photo Of The Day? The Heckler & Koch MP7 of course! Above we have a Norwegian Army photographer during exercise Trident Juncture 2018 in Norway, armed with his camera and a huge lens, apart from the MP7.

Still life photography is a genre with a large gray area between fine art and documentary photography. Add a firearm to the picture and some will frown and some will cheer. We’re pretty sure you’ve come to our  Photo Of The Day to give two thumbs up for this collection. The soldier in the picture carries a Heckler & Koch HK416 and uses the MP7 from the same company as a backup. If we had a vote, I’m pretty sure this combination would win or at least place top 3 with almost any competition thinkable.

The World moves faster and faster, and the number of images produced with it. But rest assured that TFB’s Photo Of The Day will keep its focus on firearms. And man’s best friend of course. Above you can see Norwegian Tyri from the K9 unit in the Quick Reaction Force Claymore in HV-16 (Norwegian Defense). They are parts of an exercise defending the local harbor. Surely you have already noted that the K9 handler carries the Heckler & Koch MP7 (Maschinenpistole 7).

If you’re a firearms enthusiast (as it’s likely that most people reading TFB are), you probably have a list of guns you want. Unless you’re one of the fortunate few to have an arsenal rivaling Heckler and Koch‘s Gray Room, the Rock Island Arsenal Museum, the NRA’s Whittington Center, or this guy that Nick met at a match several years ago, budget and availability are often limiting factors for new gun purchases. Of course, some guns are harder to get than others. Manufacturing runs and timeframes, frustrating legislation, importation challenges, the ravages of time, and a host of other factors can have a significant effect on the availability, accessibility, and price of various guns. The hardest pieces to procure are sometimes referred to as “unobtanium guns”, with the term being a sort of colloquial reference to these firearms’ difficulty (or sometimes impossibility) for us to acquire. Today we’ll explore a handful of the unobtanium weapons on my personal wish list, by no means comprehensive and in no particular order. I’m pretty sure that more than a few of you will find some commonality between my list and yours.

Ase Utra Oy from Suomi Finland have been manufacturing sound suppressors for hunting, sports and professional use since 1994. Their usual production exceeds over 10,000 units per year and they state that they are one of the world’s largest manufacturers of sound suppressors. Their suppressors are not available in the United States and some other areas due to import regulations and restrictions, but it may still be of interest to TFB readers to see what is going on overseas in the development of suppressors. Nobody’s got an MP7 anyway…

In our Photo Of The Day, we’re going to take a look at suppressors from A-TEC in Norway. There may be some Heckler & Koch content here as well. The A-TEC company was founded in 1999, in a garage as many other start-ups. The mission was to make better silencers than the ones that existed.

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.

At the beginning of the year we shared some great Heckler & Koch product photos taken by German photographer Oliver Louven. Louven, a Bundeswehr veteran and photographer specialising in firearms photograph, has since shared some more photos of Heckler & Koch’s range of small arms.
