Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun is single action only requiring you to break the barrel and compress the internal spring piston before you can shoot it. The actual trigger pull is pretty decent overall. There is very little take-up but the creep is on the longer side but fairly smooth requiring medium pressure. The release is a bit hard at first to predict but nothing some trigger time can’t get you use to.

Accuracy: Starting with my velocity test, we shot 3 rounds through our Chronograph using .177 caliber 7 grain lead pellets achieving 482, 489 and 466 fps with an average of 479 for the three shots. Not bad for a fairly compact Break Barrel Airgun. This is perhaps fast enough for small game like mice and small rats but you would need to get proficient on your shot accuracy to make sure you got a good head or lung shot to make it a more human pest control.

For the accuracy portion of the Field test Shooting Review we proceed to fire 6 rounds into a paper target setup 30 feet away. We use a semi rested shooting position with the Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun resting on a sand bag up front and we sit on a stool for stability. Our 6 shot grouping was all within around 1.5 inches but we feel like this Pellet gun can do better with me getting a bit more use to it, still not bad out of the box and with our first round shooting it.

We really like the Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun as not only a Replica but it also showed itself ot be a decent target Airgun at the end of the day. We do have to say the trigger is a bit long but not heavy at all, it has a smooth pull with a soft release. Most pimple should be able towel with this just fine. SO if you are looking for a Replica but also want an Airgun that can shoot hard and with decent accuracy then look no further than the Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun.

Build Quality: The Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun is a China made Airgun but looks to be well made. It has lots of metal parts as you would expect from a Spring Piston Rifle which adds a nice weight and feel to it. I did however have an issue with the front plastic mock Suppressor/Compensator as it does not seem to be attached to the metal barrel very well other than being pressure fit which is not going to cut it with all the vibration a spring piston system makes. My first shot loosened the mock Suppressor/Compensator so I will either have to hold it when shooting or find another way to make sure it stays in place.

Realism: The Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun is kind of unique in this department as most break barrel rifles are not Replicas, especially the more compact sub machine gun styled ones. Umarex did good job making the Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun look like a real HK MP7 for the most part. Of course it is a Spring Piston Rifle at its core so exceptions had to be made to make this work including molded non working parts like the magazine release, sector switch and, bolt/ejection port. That said all in all it is a decent looking replica considering it is a Break Barrel Airgun under the skin.

Pros:

• Not many Replica Pellet Rifles on the market, especially in a more compact gun.
• Comes with Red Dot sight.
• Lots of rails for adding accessories to it.
• Full HK Licensed by Umarex.
• Collapsible Wire Stock.
• Nice high claimed 490 fps.
• No need for CO2 so low cost to cooperate.
• Not effected by temperature like a CO2 Airgun.
• Should have better accuracy than most BB Replica Airguns.
• Very solid feel to it, good overall weight and feel.

Cons:

• Not going to be an action shooter, have to reload after each shot.
• A good overall Replica but not as Realistic or full operation as a BB version would be.
• Mock Suppressor/Compensator poorly attached to barrel.

Comments:
The Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun is an interesting product, on one hadn't it is a Replica Airgun and most people expect a Replica Airgun to have all of the appropriate working parts similar to what would be found on the real steel version. But since this is a Break Barrel Airgun at the core the Umarex HK MP7 .177 Cal Break Barrel Pellet Gun will not function the same as the Real Steel version so as long as you don’t expect it to and appreciate the fact that it should be a nice accurate low cost to operate target rifle then I think you will understand this product and enjoy it for what it is… A Single Shot Pellet Rifle that looks a lot like a HK MP7.
