HK MP7 in action

[daewon]

Just the few pics I got. They are currently in service with Jeju SWAT Unit. The only police unit to be uniformly equipped with MP7 in Korea. They were
established just last year and I guess they decided to give the MP7 a chance.

That's quite unique that they use the P7 as a sidearm. Any more information on the decision to us the P7?

P7 is not their sidearm, it's the primary. There are Glocks on them there thighs.

Try reading the thread :P

Nice pics, thanks...

[tahoe]

Wait, so they seriously use it as a secondary? Or do they use a sidearm as primary? I cna't imagine using that thing in place of a pistol. Going to secondary usually is done in an "oh ****" situation, and the bigger and heavier the sidearm, the slower to bring to bear.

I think it's clear that their using it as their primary weapon, whoever said it's their sidearm is out of his mind. You can clearly see them using Glocks (my guess) as their sidearm.

Some of you are confusing the MP7 submachine gun with the P7 pistol. Read the post again

[chriscobain]

My understanding from the original poster was that the MP7 is the primary weapon and the P7 is the secondary.

hey, sorry for the confusion

I don't have a real good vid on it but this is a clip on the JSU. There's
a brief scene with the MP7 at a firing range.

I am not really sure, but the use of P7M13 pistol is something of an obsession with the SK SWAT units. A couple of years back they got a few USPs for testing but decided not to go with them. They are now in limited use only( i.e. for operations requiring silencers) The P7 being a fairly old gun doesn't support much of the fancy stuff like rails and all that but it is a very accurate, reliable gun and I guess that the police just grew fond on them.
