#8 Carrying an MP7 while being dressed like a parking enforcer is funny

Civilian clothes because he probably got called in from home. Police hi-vis vest to quickly identify him.
Could be a pic from the Munich mass shooting. If I remember right, during it, every officer was told to wear the hi-vis vest, because it was wrongly reported, that the shooter wears black tactical clothing and because of that, could be identified as an swat officer.

He was responding to an active shooter situation, best way to identify yourself as an LEO is a high viz vest.

Some of our swat teams are allowed to literally wear anything that you can throw your gear on over.

u/Electronic-Ranger-22 May 27 '25

Pic 3 is airshit

u/0235 May 27 '25
As a charisofter, only a fellow chairsofter would put so much stuff on an MP7, and then take a photo of it like that. That image instantly smelled of Airsoft to me.

u/Useful_Intention9754 May 27 '25
Don't think so, image was posted by a real service member and the furniture is authentic.

It’s a G&P knockoff dbal and knock off surefire light.
Anyone with a real MP7 and dual tubes would not be using fake accessories.

I ain't never ran a DBAL before, what's the tell?

On.station.medic is known for using Airsoft gear like radios and other stuff to use on his Instagram. His G3 rifle is a demiled version for example. I wouldn't be surprised if he added all that stuff to the MP7 just to take that picture.
For context, the German military is very strict about what can be used on firearms. The rules get bent to a maximum if you use sights from other weapons on your for example.
A big no no is the use of private purchase equipment on your issued guns. (There are definitely units who don't care about stuff like that tho)

u/Useful_Intention9754 May 28 '25
Interesting. He mentioned that the DBAL got cleared for duty due to it's regulating components mimicking those of a Varioray, his words made it sound as if that MP7 is a duty platform.
2
u/CharlieAlphaGolf May 28 '25
Could definitely be true. Tho in the past he was kinda weird about what he used.

Hahaha I immediately saw that pic and scrolled down. That surefire is straight off the taiwan line. And that dbal is hilarious.

I’ve always turned my nose up to the 5.7 cartridge but something tells me if I got hit with one I would have a lot more respect for it lol. Exactly what I always tell people who talk shit on 300blk. Go ahead and get hit with one and then tell me how weak and underpowered it is 😂

u/-Theorii May 28 '25
The MP7 actually uses the 4.6x30mm cartridge, I'm assuming you're thinking of the P90 and its 5.7x28mm round. Not that I'd prefer to be hit be either one of them.

People who use the MP7 are constantly talking about how many rounds it takes to put someone down.

u/TacticalTaco30 May 28 '25
I’m sure same goes for pistol rounds they just punch holes don’t really have stopping power and hydrostatic shock like a pissing hot rifle round.

u/ForbiddenAlias May 28 '25
That’s why with pistols I aim for the dick. Idc how methed up you are. Nobody walking after your pelvic girdle gets fucked with a few rounds.
2
u/TacticalTaco30 May 28 '25
The conversation changes a lot when you are a good shooter and have good shot placement not just spray and prey like most law enforcement shooting situations I’ve seen. Obviously highly situational but yeah a well placed shot is dropping them regardless.

Hot take: the DBX57 is the closest analog in the (affordable) US civilian market

u/Mundane_Bee7298 May 27 '25
Handled the weapon a bit, I liked it, thought I’d like it more though..

u/Beebjank May 28 '25
Me too. I owned a PS90 for a few years, and I had the opportunity to shoot a select fire MP7 in Vegas. The awesome "holy shit I actually got a chance to mag dump an MP7" feeling was really fucking cool, but after thinking back on it I was a bit curious to why this weapon is so hyped up besides it being unobtanium. To me, I felt like the MP7 had way too much recoil for such a tiny round and also in comparison to the PS90 which genuinely felt like a slightly stouter 22lr.
I guess it might have it's place if it's stock is fully compact and the weapon becomes a bit more portable than a P90, but then again not by much. MP9 > MP7 and I can't wait to get a TP9 Pro.

I need to know what is blurred out on #13. Have they started using fleshlight suppression or what

What’s going on in 13? They censored the front half of the gun but not the bleeding dude?

I like how you snuck in either yours or your buddy’s gay little goobers group shill build that was almost a good sneaky play.

I think the 4.6x30 and 5.7x28 being smaller caliber is heavily underpowered even compared to 9mm. This is why police no longer use the P90 Lucky Gunner 5.7

u/lessgooooo000 May 27 '25
I think the ability to shove a fuckton of rounds into a single magazine and accurately deliver a fuckton of rounds per second out of a package even smaller than yours is might be the reason almost every country in the world with a counter terrorism force, relevant special forces group, and/or government official protection agency STILL uses the P90.
5.7 and 4.6 weren’t made for cops, much to the chagrin of fuddlore, it was made to be a concealable and capable PDW for bodyguards and a good last-ditch weapon for soldiers with no other options. It flies straighter than 9mm, its smaller than 9mm, its faster than 9mm, you can fit 50 of them into a magazine small enough to be anally inserted without needing a doctor to remove it, and it carries enough energy to not get stopped by a thick coat or phonebook (unlike .22lr), plus its centerfire and doesn’t suffer from the rimjo-, sorry, rimfire .22lr/.22mag issues.
Now, if you look in these pictures, notice half the cops holding them are in regular clothes? Remember the concealable thing? Most of these pictures are GSG9, not standard cops. They’re effectively military counterterrorism without being called military. 5.7 and 4.6 aren’t “underpowered and obsolete”, they’re not going to be going anywhere any time soon. They’ve got enough power to stop a threat, and keep more of that threat back until rifleboys show up. You know, exactly what it was designed to do.
