Hey all,
Need some help from someone either familiar with this set or with the MP 7 specifically. My google fu is failing me.
The kit comes with no real instructions and it appears the MP 7 can be modified but I have no idea what all the extra parts are (I’m not a gun person). Specifically, it appears to come with a replacement barrel but I can’t figure out how it would attach.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hopefully this picture will help. Pieces 16 and 17 are the barrels.Sorry for the image quality, best I could do.
Pieces 16 and 17 are under barrel grenade launchers (US designation, M203) that are not used on the MP7. The sprue is the same one that comes with their M16/M4 sets. The rest of the pieces are various sights that can be used on the MP7.
If the ISAF is also carrying the G-36, then those could be mounted with the AG-36 40mm grenade launcher (which has been adopted by the US as the M-230, to replace the M203).
Probably not correct to put a M203 under a G36 (even though it has been done). The AG36 breech opens by pivoting , rather than by sliding as on the M-230. This allows loading of any length 40mm grenades, something the slide-operating M-203 does not do so well.
