Umarex announced a couple of new replica airguns at the SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade) show recently. One that caught my eye is this all-new replica of the H&K MP7A1 SD (a compact, lightweight version of the MP7 machine-pistol).
However, this is actually a break-barrel, single shot, .177” calibre airgun. I’m not really sure if you’d class this as an air pistol or air rifle, but it certainly looks interesting.
Few details are available, but this seems to be a conventional, break-barrel design with the mock-silencer provided to make cocking easier. The stock is collapsible and three accessory rails are provided so that you can add sights or deck it out with any extras you fancy.
Overall weight is just under 2kg, power is claimed at “up to 7.5 Joules” and overall length is a whisker over 560mm. This is a licensed replica that includes H&K markings and it looks like a reasonable visual replica of the original.
I haven’t seen any indication of price or availability for this one, but it’s certainly different and I look forward to hearing more about what looks like a very interesting new addition to the Umarex range of replicas.
