I used one for a few games, it's an SMG more than it is a pistol.
It gets pretty decent performance out of the box, but I ran into 3 big issues with them;
1) tiny batteries, 7.2v 600mah. We had trouble squeezing 4 regular mags out of a battery on a good day. Luckily there's a PEQ mod for that
2) micro mechbox, pain to work with, breaks easily, not nearly as reliable as marui's full size mechboxes
3) Poor accessibility. If you're using the PEQ mod for a larger battery, make sure it's a 7.2v! I've seen the trigger contacts burn out on an MP7 before, and it's abnormally difficult to access them. As I recall I think it involved opening the body.
Also, this make it a serious challenge to install a MOSFET switch as well.
Although upgrade parts are available, it's still pretty pricey to upgrade.
IMO I'd rather use the gas KWA MP7 or MP9, I've heard nothing but good things about both.
