Qhs Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Is it possible to make one with the best that airsoft can offer, right now? Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 If you manufacture the body shell for yourself, sure. Or alternatively, see if you can find a springer version and dump the internals into that. Just a question of whether you want gas or electric. Then find a suitable donor gun and remove it's internals for the said dumping. Link to post Share on other sites
Kosac Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Umm i reckon it could be done I reckon you best base would be an MP5k. They are the right size and design and then i would go from there Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Um, can't see the MP5K being a good base. If anything, a micro Uzi or Mac 11 would be better surely? Given the mag goes in the pistol grip and all Link to post Share on other sites
Kosac Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I meant for the internals etc because they are the smallest AEG parts i can think off. As for the shell i was thinking of taking the foregrip etc and reaping it Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Ah. I just figured using a GBB Uzi or Mac would be 1) easier and 2) more fun! Link to post Share on other sites
Whitedingo Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Sledge is right, using the springer shell would make your life alot easier, though probably not the best donor gun for a GBB conversion. I imagine the shell would snap from the "recoil". Tricked out Springer MP7 Link to post Share on other sites
Kosac Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Then how about the MP5k internals in a springer shell Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 If anyone finds the MP7 springer in the UK, could they let me know/post here? I'd like to get one to play with and see if it could be converted, but I don't want to import one from the States. Link to post Share on other sites
kronic Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I think it was Matt Bond who made one. He made a custom shell, folding foregrip, and for the internals and the grip he used a USP NBB. You couldn't use MP5K internals because the mag goes in the grip, how would you do that with a V.3 gearbox? Maybe use an AEP? Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 A spring MP7 and a G18c AEP would probably be the quickest and easiest way of doing this. Now, where can I get the MP7? Link to post Share on other sites
unimatrix001 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 A MP7 is possible as Gas-Airsoft (NBB/GBB) or as AEP. A standard AEG is in my point of view impossible, its simply too small for a regular Gearbox + Motor + Battery Link to post Share on other sites

Soloman Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 hmm yeah id like to get the springer mp7 aswell just as a display piece maybe Link to post Share on other sites
Corporate_Black_Ops Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 What's the overall length (real steel)? Might it be possible to do it with an Uzi mechbox? They're similar design concepts after all. A small variation on real steel dimensions is fairly common in airsoft so unless you're desperate for a perfect replica don't be afraid to stretch the body by a few percent to make life easier. If not then an Ingram is probably your best bet and you'll need to reinforce the body of your donor springer or make the body yourself. Link to post Share on other sites
matt bond Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Someone on ASR made one with an old USP nbb... http://www.angelfire.com/scifi2/mycustomai.../CustomPDW.html <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's was mine, as stated above i built it from a NBB USP. I have sold it on since then though. I managed to get one of the spring MP7 (imported from a guy in germany) As expected as a springer it's rubbish. As a replica of an MP7A1 it's pretty good, the side RIS panels are removeable and the front grip folds up/down though it is a bit flimsey. It does come with full sling mounts, flip up sights and a really cheap non functioning silencer though (that could be fitted with silencing foam) I have looked into fitting different internals into it, the G18C electric gearbox may be able to fit but it would take quite a bit of work, the MP7 pistol grip is almost vertical and very small compared to the glock one, hence the gearbox would take some "re-arrangement" of the motor etc. to fit the MP7 body. I did consider gas blowback but as stated the plastic of the body, unless heavily reinforced may not be up to it. The easiest would be to fit NBB internals though that would limit to semi only... At present i have the springer just as a display model, and have built a custom extended stock for it. I will keep you updated if/when i decide what to do... Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Did you get the springer from the UK, or import it from somewhere? Link to post Share on other sites
matt bond Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 imported from a guy in germany Link to post Share on other sites
unimatrix001 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 What's the overall length (real steel)? Its 380mm long that's about 14.96 Inches. It's maximal Width is 42mm, that's 1.65 Inches. But I think you will have only about 20mm width inside the frame. This Springer MP7 is crappy. The only interesting parts are these flip-up sights. Maybe they would be useful for a G36KA2 project. http://www.begadishop.de/catalog/product_i...3af8933c0d25ae6 Link to post Share on other sites
Qhs Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 The MP7 has been released in Europe right? What about the US? Link to post Share on other sites
shadow Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 No aeg or gbb mp7 has been released anywere yet, im not sure about a springer, i think they can be picked up in the uk or us. Link to post Share on other sites
Agent47 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 A MP7 is possible as Gas-Airsoft (NBB/GBB) or as AEP. A standard AEG is in my point of view impossible, its simply too small for a regular Gearbox + Motor + Battery <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The TM Uzi is relatively about the same size as the MP7. Problem is that the Uzi has a bad gearbox to start off with, and you need to literally remake the Uzi gearbox into full metal form and drop it in the springer and then make some new mags. Or you can probably hit up Star Airsoft to tell them to make an MP7 conversion kit, since they've seemed to listen to us more and make an M14 and a UMP... So everyone start putting "Star plz make an MP7 kit!" somewhere in their posts... Link to post Share on other sites
matt bond Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 While the UZI gearbox is a similiar size, the gearbox is actually too long to fit inside the MP7 springer, so you would have to make a whole body from scratch to fit it, as it (mp7 shell) would need to be slightly larger in several dimensions to fit the box.

HaVoC Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Why not just hang fire? TM already stated some time ago that the AEP mechanism would be ideal for something like the MP7, so I'd put good money on them releasing an AEP version pretty soon. Link to post Share on other sites
