Replicas of the H&K MP7, airsoft MP7s can be electric or gas-powered, depending on a player’s preference. The airsoft MP7 makes for a great CQB SMG, especially if you prefer a realistic platform. Tokyo Marui and Umarex are two popular brands that manufacture an airsoft version of the MP7.
What Is an Airsoft MP7?
The airsoft MP7 is a popular replica of the real-steel Heckler & Koch (H&K) MP7, a submachine gun (SMG) the company first produced in 2001. The H&K MP7’s older, bigger brother is the MP5. Chambered in HK’s 4.6x30mm proprietary high-velocity cartridge, the MP7 is a personal defense weapon (PDW) designed for military and law enforcement.
The MP7 prioritizes a compact and lightweight platform with high firepower and low recoil. Its compactness and intermediate caliber make this SMG ideal for piercing through soft body armor, which has become popular over the last several years. The airsoft version incorporates similar features, making it ideal for close-quarters battle (CQB) scenarios.
Available as either an automatic electric gun (AEG) or a gas blowback (GBB) airsoft gun, the airsoft MP7 retains the same small size and high rate of fire. Players can easily customize the AEG or GBB MP7 to fit their style or intended role. Umarex and Tokyo Marui are the most common brands replicating the MP7 SMG platform.
How Does an Airsoft MP7 Work?
The AEG and GBB airsoft MP7 platforms work similarly to any other AEG or GBB airsoft gun. AEG airsoft guns use a gearbox, hop-ups, nozzles, and an inner barrel to propel BBs down range, but require a lipo battery and charger for power.
In contrast, gas-powered airsoft guns require green gas (a type of airsoft gas) as a power source. Glock and Hi-Capa airsoft pistols and gas blowback rifles (GBBRs) are examples of AEG and GBB airsoft guns, but players can also choose high-pressure air (HPA) airsoft guns.
AEG and GBB airsoft MP7s require magazine pouches or a vest to hold your loaded and spent mags. You can also attach several items to your airsoft MP7, including slings, suppressors, and flashlights.
Magazine Interchangeability
Note that the magazines for the standard GBB MP7 and the Navy Seal GBB MP7 variants are interchangeable. However, the magazines between AEG and GBB models are not compatible. MP7 magazines are typically not compatible between brands, either.
What Are Some Popular Airsoft MP7 Models?
The most popular airsoft MP7 models include the Umarex MP7 GBB Airsoft Rifle V2 (by VFC), the Umarex MP7 Navy Seal GBB Airsoft Rifle V2 (by VFC), and the Umarex MP7 GBB Airsoft Rifle (by KWA) (which is also available in tan). The Umarex MP7 A1 AEG and Tokyo Marui MP7 A1 GBB are also popular high-quality models.
The standard Umarex MP7 GBB Airsoft Rifle V2 (by VFC) features fully licensed markings, including an ambidextrous safety selector switch, magazine release, and bolt release. The platform itself is sturdy yet lightweight, with durable polymer and a strong recoil to give players a more immersive experience. The fold-out fore grip, extendable stock, and durable VFC internals make this airsoft MP7 the perfect CQB platform. Players can also attach numerous items to the upper Picatinny rail or leave the rail clear for a red dot or low-power scope.
The Umarex MP7 Navy Seal GBB Airsoft Rifle V2 (by VFC) includes steel internals, a standard adjustable hop-up, and many similar features to the standard model. Similarly, the Umarex MP7 GBB Airsoft Rifle (by KWA) incorporates a KWA internal gas system for crisp cycling. Flip-up sights allow quick target acquisition, and the fast, solid recoil puts players in the middle of the action.

WHAT IS THE BEST AIRSOFT MP7?
The MP7 is a submachine gun designed and manufactured by the German firearms company Heckler & Koch (H&K). First introduced in 2001 and designed for use by military and law enforcement units that require a compact and lightweight firearm with high firepower and low recoil, the MP7 is classified as a Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) due to its compact size and intermediate 4.6x30mm caliber. The small size makes it perfect for close quarters engagements, even more so than it’s older and bigger brother the MP5.
The MP7 Airsoft SMG is an extremely popular model thanks to its small size and high rate of fire, with many customization options. The HK MP7 Airsoft gun is available in either electric format (referred to as an airsoft MP7 AEG) or as a gas blowback (referred to as an airsoft GBB MP7). Here are some of the popular MP7 airsoft SMGs to consider.
- Umarex H&K MP7 AEG Gen 2 Airsoft Gun: This airsoft gun is a licensed replica of the Heckler & Koch MP7 submachine gun. It features a high quality polymer body, a retractable stock, and a 110 round high-capacity magazine. It has a high-quality gearbox and can shoot at a velocity of up to 380 FPS at a high rate of fire. It also boasts an empty magazine detection feature where the MP7 airsoft SMG will stop firing when it runs out of BBs. The trigger is controlled electronically by a micro FET. Fully licensed by H&K, this airsoft MP7 sports all the correct trademarks and is dimensionally accurate to the real MP7. This electric version of the airsoft MP7 is recommended to people who play in cold weather, since the gas version may not operate as reliably in low temperature conditions.
- Tokyo Marui MP7A1 GBB: This gas blowback airsoft gun is a high-quality and accurate replica of the real MP7 submachine gun. It features a compact size, a polymer construction, and a blowback system that simulates the recoil of a real firearm. It has a high-capacity magazine and can shoot at a velocity of up to 300 FPS. However, the Tokyo Marui MP7 is not licensed by H&K and is therefore not for sale outside of Asia. Also it is important to note that the Tokyo Marui MP7 airsoft SMG is not a 1:1 sized replica and is a bit smaller than the real MP7, making the Umarex MP7 Airsoft model more attractive for collectors.
- Umarex H&K MP7 Gas Blowback GBB: This gas blowback airsoft gun is another high-quality replica of the MP7 submachine gun. It features a high-quality polymer construction, a retractable stock, and a 40 round high-capacity magazine. It has a realistic blowback system with snappy recoil and can shoot at a velocity of up to 380 FPS. It is powered by green gas and can shoot in semi or full auto just like all models mentioned here. For a realistic shooting experience, we recommend you get the gas blowback version of the MP7 for an exhilarating sensation. The airsoft GBB MP7 is available in both regular version and the Navy Seal version. Both are manufactured by VFC under license from Umarex.
WILL MP7 AIRSOFT MAGAZINES INTERCHANGE?
The MP7 airsoft magazines designed for the electric AEG version are not compatible with the gas blowback GBB version of the airsoft MP7. However, the airsoft magazines used by the regular airsoft GBB MP7 and the special Navy Seal GBB MP7 are interchangeable with each other. Umarex MP7 airsoft magazines are not interchangeable with Tokyo Marui MP7 magazines or KWA magazines. Each brand has their own proprietary design, so their magazines are not interchangeable.
