H&K's MP7 and The Mission to Get Osama

[Rocketman]

Over in the "OBL is Dead" thread mmx1 posted the URL for an in depth account of The Mission to Get Osama. (From the Aug 8th edition of The New Yorker) It's a great read and the first time I've heard it "confirmed" that, with one notable exception, most of the SEAL assault team chose to carry H&K's MP7.

After watching a couple of YouTube clips it looks (and sounds) like the perfect weapon for the mission. Me thinks FN would disagree but for now the MP7 has to go on my personal assault rifle bucket list....at least until I find out how much a round of 4.6x30 mm ammo costs.

From left to right: 4.6×30mm, 5.7×28mm, .30 Carbine

That's a great looking weapon. The chick in the first video was pretty scary looking, though. I'm just sayin'...

Yea little Rachel is an aquired taste for sure. Kinda like Balut. Can't speak for their choice in female "spokesmodels" but Advanced Armament does make some nice cans. At one time she was a machinist for AAC. Not sure if she still is

I'll hijack my own thread for a bit....she's packin some guns for sure

I haven't read the article yet (it's saved in my email to read when I get a chance), but on the radio, the author mentioned that everyone was carrying M4s. Certainly an easy mistake to make for someone not familiar with guns, but interesting that he said that in one "version" but not in the article...or so I'm guessing by your post.

Fun fact: The MP7 can also help defend against the Combine. Anyone...anyone...yeah, I'm a dork.

 

[Rocketman]

Humm. I previously heard all M4's as well before I read the New Yorker piece. But you're right, if that's the only thing he got wrong the author did a great job. Plus I learned some stuff about a new toy that I didn't know otherwise

I think she's hot, except for the ear lobes. Just sayin'. Cool weapon too.

 

[MasterBates]

Fix the lobes, and I'd be on her like white on rice.

The tats I can live with.. The lobes are a bit much.

She cleans up pretty good without the glasses. Changing the angle doesn't hurt either.

Seen these up close and personal, they are a sweet weapon. Doesn't surprise me they were used in the Osama take-down.

That girl is smokin'.....

Rocketman,

What FN in particular are you referring? You talking company or a specific weapon?

 

[bunk22]

I'd be on that chick like a fat kid on pancakes! Dirty little....vixen!

Rocketman,

I was referring mostly to the combination of the FN P90 and the 5.7x28mm round. I would imagine that the P90 and the H&K MP7 would be direct competitors. Other than what I've read I have no personal experience with either the rounds or the weapons though.

Cool. We haven't had a girls and guns thread in a long time.......

Really? Can't stand the tats. Nasty.

That being said, I'd still hit it.
