Hmmmmmm..... seems to replace a side arm with a sub gun also drops the primary arm (the rifle) from carry. Not sure of the caliber mentioned, but if it punches commercial grade vehicles and vests then indeed it's a fine tool for internal security duties. If not it's a wrong choice IMO. I can remember when DOD experimented with a sabot tungsten 9MM round for the then new M9 Beretta and the MP5 series of subguns. Their primary concern was that gate guards at base entry control points or in static security positions securing priority A, B &C resources could do what I described above with a "just a sidearm". I have a few of the rounds ratted away somewhere if I can find one, I'll take a digital pic, then brother in law Eaker or Joe Brower to host the pic for a day or so that I may show ya what I'm speaking of.......:o)
I like that pic.......hopefully someday the NFA BS can be reversed so we can purchase legally.
Stay safe !
The only other pics of the MP7 I have are in the paper Marine magazine. Makes perfect sense to me for gate guard duty, which is increasingly our "point of contact" with islamonutballs. I go through manned military gates every day, as do you. Here in San Diego, the guards are woefully underarmed with the M-9, with their bad magazines etc. Their backup depends on threatcon, but can be a shotgun or M16. The actual guys at the car checkpoint need better than an M9 in a flapped holster! THat's frigging useless! They need a subgun on a sling, for hands free, yet instant response. Won't happen, but that's what they need.
