MP-7 is New CS:GO Meta, You Just Don't See it Yet

MP7 can be a good choice in defense.

Yesterday on Twitter, commentator William AnThran Shafi expressed an interesting thought about the MP7 device, which CS:GO's players

doesn't use often.

My eyes are starting to open about the MP7.

We rarely see MP7, not only in professional matches but also in ordinary ones. However, it may be an excellent alternative to farm guns and standard devices. Therefore, we asked AnThran about his opinion on the weapon and analyzed what situations MP7 can be used in.

Minimal recoil

When explaining his position, AnThran immediately said that the MP7 is excellent for short distances due to its low recoil.

I can see that it [the MP7] can be an excellent weapon to defend points at short/medium distances, considering its recoil, which was the main reason for the "eye-opening" statement.
William AnThran Shafi

Speaking of the recoil of the MP7, this weapon has a low recoil. In terms of indicators, it doesn't differ much from the MP9, but the pattern is very different.

Regarding the recoil pattern, these two weapons are incomparable, and the recoil of the MP7 is most similar to the M4A1-S.

At the same time, even here, the MP7 has an advantage because the last shots from the spray fly much faster, making it easier to spray a full magazine when there are many enemies coming your way. This is one of many advantages of MP7 over other weapons.

High armor penetration

The armor penetration of the MP7 is higher than that of the MP9 by five units. However, these are just numbers, and what does this mean? In practice, it will be much easier for you to control narrow spaces against many opponents.

If three players attack you at once, you will stop more because one bullet will pass through several opponents and cause more damage. This is impossible with the MP9 due to lower armor penetration.

Here is what AnThran says:

More armor penetration means that you deal more damage if three people run at you than with the MP9.

The MP7 is better against crowd attacks on the anti-eco round.

The cost of the MP7 is higher than that of the MP9

The MP9 costs $1,250, while the MP7 retails for $1,500. And this is the cost of all MP7 advantages. For this $250, you can buy a flash grenade and postpone it to the next round to buy full armor. However, in addition to this, MP7 is a farm gun that, although it is difficult to pay for itself, will help earn money. Therefore, such expenses may be justified.

Some professionals already use MP7

There are already examples of MP7 usage on the pro scene. For example, Guy Nertz Iluz has been using this device on anti-eco rounds for a long time and shows excellent performance.

Now the player is in the main squad of ENCE and uses MP7 already on the tier-1 stage. Then, he will become one of the popularizers of the device.

MP7 is an exciting device that deserves much more attention than it is getting now. Most likely, players will use it more often in the future.
