First of all, THE MP7 and the MP5 are basically SMG's, search it up bud. They were both invented by Hechler & Koch, German submachine gun.

MP stands for Machine Pistol.
MP5 is a 9mm submachine gun that is widely used.
MP7 has a 4.6x30mm cartidge.
Thus the reason why they are such lightweight, not to mention, it's called combo'ing.

The MP5 is also made using metal stamping techniques, also seen on the AKM. That reduces the weight even more.

Also the MP7 and MP5 are SMGs. That's what you call fully-automatic weapons chambered for a pistol calibre.

MP, as used by German companies to label German guns, stands for Maschinenpistole, which translates to submachine gun.

To anyone wondering why the new MP5 does so much more damage than the MP7:

9x19mm vs 4.6x30mm. The 9mm of the MP5 is approximately twice the size of the MP7's 4.6mm round, despite not shooting it nearly as fast.

I hope you find that helpful. :)

for those of you confused MP MEAN MACHINE PISTOL. The medic has plenty of available weapons via all the other classes and doesn't need a high damage yield weapon. If you want to kill switch classes, it's that simple. OR get someone in a high damage class to buy you one of their weapons and supply them with the dosh.

I said this before, and i'll say it again; since you didn't read it the first time :(

MP is an abbreviation for maschinenpistole, which translates from German into English as submachine gun.

Machine pistol came from English users copying this and using the English equivalent of the word maschinenpistole.

you misunderstood, I do speak some german and did know that, the english definition IS machine pistol, however having the word machine in it makes it a subclass of a machine gun which is exactly what a SMG is, I was agreeing ^.^;

However I do not think they should get more weapons. Well Not JUST them. If you want to give one class more weapons I would be all for more weapon packs, but I want more than just the medic to get gear. I do like the medic getting smg's but if it's only them getting something them I am against it. If all or most classes were getting something I would be all for it.

I suppose it's best not to argue semantics and just agree more guns are better. :)

such truth.
more guns are always more better.

Aye, I'd drink to that, provided I had a drink at the moment.


Anyway, I noticed that with it's mag size and RoF, the recently added MP5 is practically OP's P90 by another name, as it behaves just like your stereotypical P90 from any other FPS (barring the reload). Congrats OP.

When I opened this thread I was confused until I looked at the posting date.
Nice job on getting a community idea in-game, anyway.
