In this episode of TFBTV, @James Reeves discusses two of the best submachineguns ever created: The Heckler & Koch MP5 and MP7, and he pays a special visit to the Czech Republic to perform research, inlcuding a stop at the Sellier & Bellot ammunition testing range, and training with the elite Czech counterterrorist unit, URNA.
The MP5 is of course a legend: Designed by H&K in the 1960s, the MP5 is battle proven, bulletproof, and famously reliable. It was - and still is - a favorite of militaries, law enforcement agencies, and special operations units worldwide because of its dependability, accuracy, and portability. However, guns, like any other technology, advance with the passing of time. In 2001, H&K began producing the MP7, an ultra compact submachinegun that is lighter and smaller than the MP5, while offering greater range and capacity with armor piercing 4.6x30mm rounds versus the larger, heavier, and slower 9mm used by the bulkier MP5. In this episode, James discusses the 4.6 reasons why the newer MP7 might be better than the MP5. Buckle up, brüder, because this is going to be a wild ride.

1:31 Well, James finally got his hands on products from a company that is under the same umbrella as Taurus (CBC is their parent company), and actually enjoyed it.
But speaking seriously, the dudes at URNA probably did their research on the terminal effectiveness of the cartridge before the transition, so any doubt about the performance against the 9mm must had been examined.
