Poll: MP7 or P90? Which SMG do you prefer?

[Akai Shizuku]

Yeah, pretty much the same thing here. The rounds are armor-piercing, too.

So are the 4.6x30mm rounds used with the MP7.

The P90's 5.7x28mm rounds are bigger, though.

The one that makes a bigger pew pew

If Gordon Freeman uses it, then that's ENOUGH pew pew to decide which is better.

 

[Wadders]

I have very little idea of the merits of each gun, but I think the MP7 looks a lot cooler...

I guess the P90 is more innovative though. And it is made by FNH, who make pretty cool guns.

 

[Samurai Goomba]

I voted P90 because it's clearly... uhhh... something and obviously... errrrr... dammit, I think it looks better!

New Rule: You must have fired the gun in question in real life to have an opinion on it.

Even on aesthetics?

Well, no. But anything past that. Because you can't REALLY have an opinion on something until you've used it.

I just get tired of people (including myself, I must admit) giving opinions on things they know nothing about. And video games are the WORST place to get information about weapons, generally speaking.

 

[fix-the-spade]

Well, the only game to inclide both (that I know of) is Battlefield 2.

In that the P-90 wipes the floor with the MP7, better range, deeper magazine, similar accuracy and more power. So it has to be the P-90, in my gaming life it has been by far the more useful. Plus it's a devastating presence in Goldeneye, Timesplitters 2 and a legendary pain in the ass bullet hose in Counter Strike.

Also, MacGuyver does not carry an MP7.

Why are AKs always the inaccurate gun in games? Even if they are inaccurate compared to other rifles, they're still more than sufficient to hit a target across any distance that a game is likely to require you to fire one. Games usually don't make you fire at targets 3 miles away.

AK's are very accurate and powerful in games. They also have stupidly high recoil so if you're a sprayer then you're not going to hit anything, but keep it to single shots and you're fine. In all games I've played anyway.

Oh. I was going by the Goldeneye classic model, since it's stupifying how many games since have ripped off Goldeneye when it comes to weapons.

P90, I'm a stargate nerd.

 

[Chester41585]

P90. It's generally a better gun. It all comes down to the user, though. If you're a tank operator or helicopter pilot, the MP7 might be your choice. It's smaller and more manageable in extremely small spaces (getting out of a wrecked cockpit or vehicle cab). However, for direct-combat, security, back-line support, or non-infantry units the P-90 is better.

 

[Stoic raptor]

MP7 looks better to me

 

[A.A.K]

in my opinion, id use them for different things, but accuracy i couldnt care about considering they're SMG's nd the P90 does look like crap, nd i prefer the cartridge and i just prefer it as a better weapon.

 

[gigastrike]

If I had to choose, I'd pick up an MP7 since it more closely resembles what I think makes a good smg. I really hate to say it, though. The P90 just looks so cool and is so original.

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

Yeah, pretty much the same thing here. The rounds are armor-piercing, too.

Why do you say that like it's an exclusive special ability? All that makes a round "armor-piercing" is what it is coated with, something that has been done since the 1800's. And high penetration means little to no internal damage to your target. It just goes right through him. And depending on where your shooting, you might not be too happy with what it hits when it comes out on the other side.

Now, if you have different rounds such as hollow points, it's going to shatter on impact; sending all sorts of nasty shrapnel through the insides of your enemy. And it won't hit anything when it comes out the other side.

On topic, I'm not a fan of either of them.

 

[Sentient6]

Well, you said it yourself - the MP7 appears in Half-Life - so it wins. Also, the P90 doesn't look likee a proper gun.. So MP7 all the way.

 

[Apocalypse Tank]

I feel the P90 have too large of a clip, and I trust the former MP5 way too much. From these two facts I am going with the MP7.

 

[Vek]

The P90's 5.7x28mm rounds are bigger, though.

The round is bigger, but proportionately, the 4.6 has a larger powder charge.

Leftmost cartridge is the 4.6, middle is the 5.7, and far right is the .30cal Carbine, as used in weapons like the M1 Carbine.

 

[cthulhu257]

As much of a supporter of H&K as I am, I have to admit I prefer the P90. I do wish they made the MP5 chambered in 4.6mm, though.

I win

 

[Cyberjester]

Oh. I was going by the Goldeneye classic model, since it's stupifying how many games since have ripped off Goldeneye when it comes to weapons.

That was a fun game. I was going by the Counter Strike model since that was the latest and most popular one I could think of, though they are much more accurate then the Goldeneye and clone type.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

I played goldeneye, the P90 has a special place in my heart.
