Closing thoughts

At $1500, it is difficult to justify the extra expense of the MP7 over cheaper SMGs. That said, it is strong in most categories, with good damage, accuracy, armour penetration and rate of fire.

One lesser known drawback is its relatively high penalty to movement speed, which will slow the wielder by 12%. For reference, the movement penalty of the MP5-SD is only 6% and the MP9 4%. Moving slower with a weapon type (SMG) that otherwise generally has an advantage when moving is an awkward combination.

As the most expensive SMG at $2350, purchasing the P90 is hard to justify. What it lacks in practicality it makes up for in aggression, with high armour penetration, extremely fast rate of fire and massive magazine all contributing to a style of engagement that can overwhelm unprepared opponents.
