In a law enforcement environment where greater tactical challenges are often complicated by higher social scrutiny, more and more police agencies are turning to the HK MP7 to fulfil a wide range of discreet carry needs. That’s because the MP7 balances concealability and capability in a way that allows officers to practice discrete carry where open carry of a long gun is undesireable.

In this environment, the MP7 excels where a rifle or carbine would be cumbersome and unwieldy and a pistol would be a poor compromise. The MP7 can be deployed quickly and easily from a backpack, sling bag or several other more traditional options to bring to bear a much higher level of power, accuracy, and range (out to 200m) than a pistol-caliber weapon. At the same time, it’s lower-recoiling 4.6 mm ammunition allows officers to train to a high level of proficiency more readily than with a 5.56 mm short-barreled rifle.

The MP7 is ideal for a range of specialized law enforcement requirements, including:

•  Discrete carry (SRO, event security, surveillance)

•  K9

•  Close quarters engagement

•  Individual protective detail
