I think thats the clincher about the MP7. It sorta got advertised as an AEG, for the most part. Even HK retailers have it under AEGs rather than AEPs, and it has the pricetag to match.
But lets be honest, it's an AEP. It's bigger, and performs better than other AEPs, but it isn't an AEG.
Getting an MP7 with the intention of using it as an AEG will probably leave you feeling cheated. If it's your first and only AEG, you'll probably be disappointed.
But on the other hand, if you get the MP7 for it's intended purpose -- basically as a sidearm / uberpistol -- it rocks. Okay, the pricetag still blows. But the 250 FPS performance is on par with a stock japanese GBB, and with electric power it'll never be too cold to field, and it'll never suffer cooldown effects even if you empty the entire magazine in FA.
It seems like it would make a nice alternative to a Glock 18C/23F, or other compact gas SMGs, probably being less troublesome than gas guns (I love my gas guns, but I know a lot of people get annoyed with their idiosyncrasies).
For a sniper, for example, it'd probably make a great alternative to "just a pistol" and wouldn't be very cumbersome to carry.
I wanna get one. I'm just hoping the prices get less stupid.
