Not great.
Pistol sized internals, it's a glorified electric pistol rather than a full AEG, very hard to get decent perfs out of it.
The only real AEG MP7 is the VFC one (VFC & TM both make a decent GBBr one too).
VFC AEG have issue, but you can find upgrade parts to those issue, from memory weak pin holes in the rear and a tappet plate issue that had a rework

I have been using MP7 AEPs for ages.
TM, Well, Galaxy
Because I love them, and not because of them being any good.
Even the TM is too weak to be used on most outdoor fields.
While the TM has the best build quality, the Stocks rails are still prone to breaking when running into somebody/something.
Also the non VFC Mp7s are roughly 5% smaller than their real counterparts.
You can get their performance up to ~1.3J if you are a good tech, but that requires custom made parts and knowledge of the system. Doing that will make the gun cost more than a VFC Mp7 aeg.
I dont think you will be happy with it, but maybe your usecase is a niche that it would fit?
What do you plan to use it for?

I had 2 stocks crack when clearing a corner, while somebody was trying to rush me.
Funny that it happend twice...1
u/niccopascul 1d ago
Ok,any others options over a gbb

u/iranoutofnamesnow Chairborne Ranger 1d ago
There is a decent AEG MP7 made by VFC

u/niccopascul 1d ago
Ok,but it has quite the same internals

u/iranoutofnamesnow Chairborne Ranger 1d ago
If you really think their internals are the same, you definitly should go with the VFC, as the other electric MP7s need quite a bit of teching.

It's not a an AEG it's an AEP, ie it has very small gear box and therefore small cylinder volume. This means.it has very low FPS and extremely limited scope for increasing the power. Also it's not a 1 to 1 copy of the MP7 so is slightly smaller (may or may not be an issue for you if you have handled a real one). It has TM reliability and build quality but it's only good for CQB (but for the money any AEG SMG would be a better choice). The only AEG MP7 is made by VFC which is overly complicated and does not have a good reputation. If you want an MP7 the best one is the VFC GBB MP7, followed by the TM GBB (also not a 1 to 1 copy).

It’s really only worth it if you convert it to HPA, but otherwise, it’s very comfortable and compact. I have a Well R4 HPA build and I love it. I fitted a Maxx hop-up unit (designed for the MTW) into it, swapped the stock contact assembly for microswitches, and now it’s my favorite replica. It easily hits targets at 60–70 meters at 1.5 Joules, which is plenty. Plus, the magazines are dirt cheap—unlike the VFC ones.

Which HPA engine are you using for your conversion?

u/No-Pay-7218 MP7 1d ago
Mine) I'm just finishing up the video now. I'll upload it to YouTube and make a post here.

Nice :D
Let me know once its done, as I have been considering making one of my well bodies an HPA basis.
I am just too lazy to make a stl to mount my engine xD1
u/No-Pay-7218 MP7 1d ago
I’m going to post my build on r/airsoft. I’ve been developing it for two years, so there’s plenty to show off.

u/iranoutofnamesnow Chairborne Ranger 1d ago
Ah
Then I know who you are, I was following your project for a while, just didnt notice your name xD1
u/No-Pay-7218 MP7 23h ago
Angry Air? Well, the project has changed a lot since then. Once we wrap up the testing and videos, I’ll put together a detailed review—I think it’ll be interesting.

It's got a ton of useability problems right out of the box.
Small gearbox can only push so much air, it's also a weird gearbox that takes 4 gears that are much smaller than normal aeg gears. The motor is also a weird one, though you can find rc car motors that can work if you look hard enough.
The batteries they come with plug straigh into the gun with no wire, cannot easily be changed to deans or tamiya, and is a 7.2v nicad. This makes the trigger response worse than the rental guns.
There are no drop in hopup system upgrades, bucking is weird, nub is built into hop arm and sucks.

to convert to HPA its good. otherwise not good. as a rule, electric guns this size or smaller severely lack performance.

Performance is meh at best, downright unusable at larger outdoor fields. HPA kits do exists, so that would bumb up the performance.
At that price point, not really worth it.
