Garand Thumb's Review of The H&K MP7 

"I've only fired around twelve hundred rounds through it so not alot..." lol that's more trigger time than 99% of people who have wondered about the mp7 since Half-Life 2

"Easy to get a finger in there", "unconventional positions".....now it's a party

"For those who have shot glocks. Which is pretty much all of us." Me: **Cries in Australian**

Poor Gun Mag Warehouse, their comment section is now full of confused eroticism.

German engineering: Everything must be perfect, tolerances must be zero, we must design for every mechanical contingency conceivable to our team of 500 engineers. Russian engineering: lmao it's gonna break anyway make it cheap and easy to fix American engineering: idk man aliens gave it to us love you too garanddad

Could you say "slam it in" slower and in a whisper please and thank you.

*FUN FACT:* The H&K MP7 was originally planned to be paired with a pistol chambered in the same 4.6×30mm cartridge. This pistol was known as the H&K UCP. However due to undisclosed reasons this pistol never left the prototype stage and thus was never made available outside of H&K. On the other hand, the FN Herstal "5.7×28mm" cartridge is available for use with the FN P90 (PDW) and the FN Five-seveN (Pistol).

Not only special forces use the MP7. The normal german infantry use it too! Often, in good numbers. For examples: By vehicle and tank crews, for officers or seargents of troops/groups in the field (but often they have the G36K) and (what you are not thinking about, wich is normal for this good KSK-style weapon, is) normal soldiers in the field carry it too! Not only high ranked soldiers. Me too for a short time. I shot the MP7 and loved it! 😄 Very unice, reliable, good and destroying weapon (with this ammo)! You can shoot through nearly every plate and through walls too! 😅 This ammo is so powerful, you dont believe it if you dont try it. ...And sometimes the MP7 is an "onboard-weapon" wich is standard in the vehicle as a emergency weapon,

Still not a Hi-Point video.

This could be the best firearm informational overview video I’ve seen so far. Great info, true dominance and understanding of the topic, and engaging delivery. Well done. Subscribed.

Daddy acting all professional on a different RU-vid channel. Hehehe

Patiently waiting on p90 vid ...

Am new to this so trying to learn as much as I can. I really appreciate the way you present the material. I held an instructor NEC during my career and have a lot of experience imparting technical information to students and subordinates. You do an excellent job Mike. Keep up the good work.

Gun mag warehouse THANKS YOU 💓 I'm so glad you guys sponsor daddy thumb. Mike is the best!

Finally I’ve been waiting for this day to arrive

First shot an MP7 back in 2008 and just like this review said, most enjoyable weapon I have ever shot and it is my favorite overall.

This is probably the best mp7 video I’ve seen, thanks for the vid Mike

Sounds like I am not the only one who has wondered about the MP7 since Half Life 2.

As a drummer, this burst sound is music to my hears! Perfectly executed 3 strokes roll with accents

The chosen one has delivered unto us this masterpiece! All hail papa garand!

Mike is the reason I just subscribed you guys should know that. I think you made a great pick for your channel. I love how they didn’t change his platform either it’s still the same that’s awesome

Really informative! Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

The most important thing to understand about the MP7 is that it is a Personal Defense Weapon for troops who are unlikely to have any enemy contact (Logistics, Artillery, etc.) and as such it would be uneconomical and unergonomical for them to carry full size rifles. On the other hand, pistol and normal machine pistols are useless against even level 2 armor. So that's where the MP/ sits. I don't know about Seals and KSK usage but it was not originally designed as an assaulter's weapon.

only MP7 I've seen in the wild, in front of Downing St. 10 in London. for the police, Armourer level maintenance is not a problem because every end of day, the weapons go TO the armourer, who has a absolute mastery on rounds fired, maintenance done etc.

Thank you for uploading this. Love the MP7!

Doesn't get enough love in video games that I've played. It never seems to have the stopping power I'd expect

I clear my mom's house when I'm on my way to raid the fridge at night with my airsoft mp7.....

Good idea getting Flannel Daddy on here. I didn't even realize you had a channel!

That set up you have here on it is really sick looking. A very accurate and cool looking weapon.🙏

I knew this would be a great review. What a fantastic firearm, I would love to own one.

*Mentions HL2 at the beginning* Alright, sold.

Please don't go on telling us how practical or efficient this weapon system is, just tell us whether or not it was wicked cool to shoot. Because that's all that's really worth hearing about when it comes to HK's "Sorry Civilians, You Can't Own This" product line.

HK make some great stuff, everyone should have a chance to own one! The MP7.

Thank you! I have enjoyed your no nonsense video's for some time. BTW GMW, is my all time "go to" for magazines... Whoo-yah GMW.... Very respectfully j

I got to play with one when I was with the Germans on a FOB in Afghanistan. My unit and theirs did kind of a exchange program day where we traded weapons and soldiers for qualifications and sports. All of us Americans got to shoot their entire armory and they got to shoot ours. So I was able to do the german marksman qual with the G3, G36, MP7, USP, MG42 and what ever their grenade launcher was and they got to use our 50 cal, 240,249, m4, m9, 203, FN303, and MK19. Funniest part was a bunch of them didn't care about those guns. They wanted my armory converted m16a1. (it was weird. For some reason a bunch of us had a1 lowers that had their stampings Xed out and a3 etched under it but it was still full auto with the integrated carry handle/rear sight.) Either way. The mp7 was my favorite. You could basically one hand full auto and keep all shots on target at around 10-15 meters. Even though this gun is like the vector where not having full auto is akin to kicking puppies, H&K should really make a civilian variant.

Loved that dig at IV8888 with “firing 300 rounds at steel and calling it a great gun”

I’ve never seen this. I love garand thumb videos I’m glad I found these because there not on his page.

i have never seen the mp7 a2 until now my perspective of the universe has been changed forever

Would love to casually say "I've ONLY fired 1200 rounds through the mp7" maybe one day somehow

My German Sergeant didn't like the gun very much because of it's caliber. He said that when you have to face a drugged Taliban fighter, you need to empty the whole mag on just one guy to achieve at least some man-stopping power. If you are not wearing some kind of body armor, the projectiles go right through leaving very small holes.

I subbed for GT, and you have the best prices around for mags hands down!

And you're ultra lucky to be able to have that or even play with it. Bought a Fully license airsoft version so I can learn how to somewhat maintenance and clean them

Half life 3 trailer looks lit 😍

my dream PDW for sure

Garand thumb talking nice things about german guns :) gotta love that! Mg3 next please

The most fun gun you can shoot! Love it.

Finding out that Garand Daddy is actually Gordon Freeman *mindblown*

British armed police use MP7s, G36s are common too, recently seen them use 416s and I've even spotted some service personnel with 417s with really nice optics, though I'm not sure why a marksman was in a shopping centre....308 is not exactly crowd friendly lol

I love the design of this gun to begin with and now you make me want to shoot this thing even more dang it

Does the MP7 take the HK45 extended mag release like you can swap on the USP?

What a unique pdw... A pleasure to watch. Would love to see an mp9 also for comparison

I think he has more than 5 attachments on that...what perk is he using?

First lesson with the MP7 our instructor warned us about the fun switch and how easy it was to go from safe to family by mistake, and that even with this warning a few would still do it. Sure enough, 10 mins later the first "brrrap".

Great video! I wish you did an indoor breakdown of the gun as well like Forgotten Weapons do!

Are you going to do the CZ Scorpion next or the B&T GHM9?

Mp7 looks like the love child from an Uzi and a mp5

Good Lord, that shooting demo at the beginning of the vid was impressive as fork. 👌🤙

holy shit this is a fricken cool weapon, as expecting from H&K quality,great video!

I had shot the MP7 in Africa, with french spécial forces in 2014...300 meters with micro T Aimpoint...it was a pretty one, very accurate and the same recoil than a 22lr. All the shot were in the target (human style torse and head), single shot and 7 round burst (at 300 meter!!!). But at short range, i think that the burst is the only one solution, because the stoping power of the 4.6x30 is very low.

It’s my life goal to get an MP7

I love seeing the footage of full autos in things like this instead of just mag dumps.

I'm Confused, the A1 has the strait butt stock for a good cheek mold/ weld doesn't it? Did you say you were using the A1 variant or the base MP7 model?

All my bandit mains say hi

6:56 x.25 playback speed is what y'all came here for... Your welcome

I've noticed at that on the lower right back of your rig you have what looks like and ammo pouch. I've seen a velcro one straight up and I've also seen an upside down buckle closure one. Is this for spare mags in the way Paul Howe suggest carrying 3-4 up front and having spares in the back?

Any issues with the EoTech on top, any problems with it sitting too high?

Would love to see you get your hands on a FN P90 to make a comparison.

Use an acog on it I knew it got removed but use an acog or bandit would be disappointed

Made a few huge statements in your endorsement of the MP7. Guess you really do love it:)

South korean millitary/police loves this gun so much for urban combat. Fired a couple of rounds and it was plain amazing. I hope to own the real thing in the future not just the game.

someone needs to make an ultra light belt fed chambered in 4.6x30 and 5.7x28. maybe one that accepts mp7 mags too

Dear Garand Thumb, what is it like to have the Ghost Recon character "Midas" modeled after you?

I'm happy that you enjoy a compact package!

im curious if this gun has the same accuracy issues related to heat as the g36

*FN P90 better for concealed carry* I prefer the P90 (and PS90 SBR) as it is far better for concealed carry as its higher capacity 50 round mag doesn't stick out, while it can be fired instantly without having to extend a stock, which on the MP7 tends to catch on things (collapsed or extended) and provides a terrible cheek weld, which helps explain why the Secret Service use the P90 but not the MP7 and are replacing their MP5 SMGs with an AR (SR-16 CQB) for overt use. I hear FN is thinking of making a 10.4" barrel pistol version of the PS90 carbine with a smooth end cap instead of a ribbed butt plate and an arm brace strap.

When deployed to Norway, the Soldiers where carrying the H&K MP7 as well as H&K 416

Epic gun! The HK MP7 is clearly the best sub-machine gun on the entire market.

More the reason to be sf etc.. because you can have unlimited trigger time with this baby. I envy those operators. Good show! 👍

something that might add a bit to videos like these might be some info on the velocity you were getting. i dunno if you have access to a chronograph where you shoot, but it would be cool to see, especially with some of the less common stuff like 4.6. One thing I always think about with guns or rounds like these, and when you're talking about its effective range and application, is how they'd perform out of a longer barrel. Some of that i could extrapolate for myself, but im not sure what kind of velocity you get with the standard barrel, as well as projectile weight and stuff. Of course I could always go find that info somewhere else, but it'd be cooler if you gave it to me ^_^

How many of you finished yourself off during the opening sequence?

What gloves are those? The ones in the close up at the 1 minute mark?

did you get the bunker 11 blueprint for this mp7 ?

From the standpoint of compact this in ease of Transportation I wonder if it would make sense at least in larger police departments two armed officers with an MP7 instead of a patrol carbine. Realistically the engagement ranges most officers are involved in do not require a full-sized carbine / rifle

Where is the grenade launcher on the bottom?

I see you using the same laser and light combo on a lot of your weapons, what is that combo if you don’t mind me asking? Thank you.

As a German myself, I´m glad to see that you can handle german Hardware. ;) Have a great weekend!

So is it a gun? A smg or an assult rifle for midgets? H&K: Yes.

They need to repeal the NFA & Hughes amendment

Your intros are NEXT LEVEL

This is my bucket list gun.

His new nickname is now "The Freeman"

Dear Santa

Awesome weapon! My favorite to shoot was the Gustav rifle with flechettes.

Sunnyvale CA TRAFFIC unit has a couple of these! Saw a motorcycle cop with one on a sling about 5 years ago.

If I was a SOF operator, my secondary would be the MP7, not a regular pistol.

Why am I watching this? How could I ever own one?

Question for thumb, any particular reason you put a designator on when shooting it? Considering the pdw role.

What kind of gloves are you wearing when your shooting?
