I don't like it by the way, the good news it will be cheap I'd imagine IMO it would have to be less than £225 though, otherwise people may as well get the KWA...

Re: WE SMG-8?

Looks interesting much prefer the look of the standard MP7 though

Re: WE SMG-8?

Is this how they are getting around the H&K issue?

Re: WE SMG-8?

At least the grip is a little more ergonomic :P

Is that a G36-esque rail ?

Re: WE SMG-8?

I prefer that to the original (which is unusual for me)

It looks like it is pure business.

Re: WE SMG-8?

It looks someone has repeated attacked an mp7 with a knife.... Not for for me I think.

Re: WE SMG-8?

Assuming it's a cheap, effective GBB with common bits (14mm CCW, etc.) and cheaper mags, I'll gladly have that If real steel design means higher price then bring it on!

Re: WE SMG-8?

not that there is anything wrong with the original, but i think i prefer this more aggressive look

We are certainly upping the game this year

I would assume it would be much less than £225, if they can do the G39 range from £200-£260ish, and the G39 is a whole lot more gun

I'm not too sure about this TBH, I almost like it but my H&K fan side tells me to kill it with fire

Not quite as bad as Umarex's abomination, but still not an MP7.

Come on WE, if you can make a MP5 look normal why not an MP7?

Re: WE SMG-8?

I need to check but certain H&K guns have the silhouette trademarked (HK417, 416 ,HK45 ) where as older designs are open and only the trademarks are restricted.

Not sure if the MP7 is one of them though , the G36 is not .

I'll check the patents and report back

H&K sold the design patents of the G3, MP5 etc to countries like Turkey , pakistan, Switzerland etc and they are also out of date

The Spanish obtained the rights for the G36 among a few others .

The 416 and 417 for example are still only able to be produced by H&K though

Re: WE SMG-8?

It's an MP7, but it isn't, screw you Umarex.

WE - 1, Umarex - 0.

Be interested to see what the final production model looks like, that looks a bit, unfinished.
