Versatile but expensive, the German-made MP7 SMG is the perfect choice for high-impact close-range combat.
―Official description


The MP7 is a submachine gun featured in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive & Counter-Strike 2, available to both factions. It is the successor to the K&M Sub-Machine Gun in previous Counter-Strike games, having similar performance and the same role as its predecessor.

Overview[]

The MP7 is a German personal defense weapon (PDW) developed by Heckler & Koch (H&K), and is intended to replace H&K's MP5 submachine gun. Intended to compete with the P90, the MP7 fires the 4.6x30mm cartridge, a competitor to the P90's 5.7×28mm cartridge, which has good armor piercing capabilities in real life. The in-game MP7 is modeled after the MP7A1, and is modeled with a longer 40-round magazine.

In-game, the MP7 has a 30-round capacity, carries a large 120 rounds in reserve, and (despite its description) costs a relatively cheap $1500, though compared to the rest of the SMG class it is the second most expensive option.

The MP7 deals moderate damage, and is able to achieve a 2-headshot kill against armored users. Its rate of fire is high, and recoil and spread (including moving spread) is low and controllable, making it easy to use on the move.

Being an SMG, it has high damage dropoff and low armor penetration. The weapon is unusually heavy for its class (even heavier than the P90 and the UMP-45) and has a slightly long reload. What ultimately makes it less popular is its high price compared to the rest of the SMG family, which restricts its use to more situational cases.

Like other SMGs, the MP7 awards 2× the money per kill than normal ($600 in Competitive Mode, $300 in Casual Mode).

Being an SMG, its penetration power is at 100, which means it cannot penetrate through metal and other similar tough materials.

Tactics[]

  • At close proximity with targets, spray bullets.
    • Aim for the head or at the chest-neck to ensure you get the kill. Be sure to adjust your aim accordingly (by aiming slightly lower to the left) to control the recoil.
    • Spray at close-medium ranges, burst at medium-long ranges and tap at longer. Aim at the head for maximum efficiency.
    • Disengage enemies that uses an AWP unless you can catch them off guard by either flashing, smoking or sneaking behind them.
    • The Desert Eagle can be a good backup pistol for longer ranges in some situations.

Trivia[]

  • Originally, this SMG was slated to be exclusive to the Counter-Terrorists, as the PP-Bizon was to be exclusive to the Terrorists.
  • The MP7's model originally had the fire selector set at safe, which has since been fixed to be set to fully automatic.
  • The MP7 is coded to use 9mm caliber in CS:GO (in items_game file), but in real life it uses HK 4.6x30mm.
  • The MP7 in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Beta had a HUD icon with an extended stock and a Silencer which does not appear when purchased.
