Ksc mp7a1 pdw
 

Well its here, its a long wait(though not as long as some of my other AS stuff...hint hint Brian...), but the MP7 is finally here.

Having had a TM MP7A1 before many moons ago(actually ended up trading it for a Hi-Capa that became my Infinity SV now...), the idea of having another MP7 have floated around in my head for sometime. Thus when KSC announced they are making a GBB version of this, I was very excited and as soon as it was available for pre-order I jumped on it.

Externally the gun is mainly the same as the TM variant in that all the control are where you expect, and the finish is not that different from what I remembered. The polymer exterior is strong and stiff, the controls are made of metal, so are the removable(adjustable) sight, and the rails. The stock has metal "legs" and plastic/rubber rear pad. There is some slight wobble in the stock when extended. All these details are not that different from TM However...

...those details seperate it from the TM...a GBB heart based on the System 7. The bolt/BBU is made of metal(pot metal?), is very light. The system 7 nozzle as with their new USP is plastic. The recoil spring is fairly strong, and since this gun unlike a pistol, won't need a metal kit of anysort, I don't foresee any replacement unless something is broken.

With my chrono crap out on me months ago, I have nothing to measure it with, though I have little doubt it'll shoot a lot hotter than the TM, although I think the TM might just pip it for accuracy. Stable stance with stock extended and rifle sight yields a loonie sized group over 5 semi-shots from 8m(max distance at my apartment). Full auto is a bit more erratic which covers 1/4 of a 8.5 x 11 sheet. The blow back is crisp, though lacking a bit of ohmph probably due to the light bolt. The sound is loud and satisfying sounding, so forget about the near silent running of the TM, you can probably be heard from far away with this...

I am going to get a optical sight for this and probably just that.....might use this at TTAC3 when I get a chance....

So is this gun's home in the US I assume?

OMG.

This Redwolf video comparison (KSC MP7 vs KSC MP9 vs KSC Mac11) is hilarious:

YouTube - Redwolf Airsoft - Battle of the GBB SMG pt. 1

at least its the only one that can consistently hit the side of a barn...lol

Very cool. I want one bad.

So is there anything about this gun that suggests it is a limited edition? [Such as unique serial number maybe] Is KSC going to halt production after the first batch and hand over production to Umarex/KWA?

I am wondering about that as well, the box is plain, the manual is plain...I heard the Umarex version have the Umarex logo on the gun in obvious place along with HK trades, but I've never seen one....This one has the tiny KSC logo under the front, and a tiny JASG logo by the right bolt release....
