I feel like there's a lot of confusion about all this KWA/Umarex/H&K/Mp7 sthingamabob...
I read about this a few months back, like many of you, and deduced too that VFC was the new kid on the "Mp7-"block. But since then, I've read quite a few statements from KWA staff that would contradict this line of thoughts...
I just took another look at what was discussed in KWA's forum, and it seems KWA don't want to clearly back any of this directly, but they keep saying the Mp7 is not discontinued but is solely distributed by Umarex. Mags for the current/old Mp7 would still be mae available by Umarex, which also means they would still be made by KWA (I don't think VFC would agree making mags for Kwa's Mp7 right?)
That said, a comment or two (always by Mods and Staff members on Kwa's forum) lead me to think that VFC would *also* make their own umarex licensed Mp7... But I think that *the* Umarex Mp7 will still be made by KWA...
A guy even posted an unboxing vid of the "last gen" mp7, that is supposedly the one distributed by Umarex yaddiyadda, and it has "made by kwa" in the manual. His title said something like "Last Gen KWA mp7" or something, and a staff member immediately replied with "this is not a KWA gun it is a Umarex mp7, blah blah blah"..., despite the fact it is written in big letter "made by KWA"...
Anyways, long story story short, it looks like this thing is just about politics and that maybe/probably VFC will also have their own piece of the Umarex/MP7 cake. The question is (if this is right): When you'll buy a "Umarex" Mp7, will you be able to know if it's made by KWA, or VFC? If I'm right about this and Umarex sells both the same way, it'll result in an aftermarket crazy clusterfuck O_o
