MP7 is powerful at close range, as an SMG should be. Five hits to kill can be troublesome at long range considering any damage done to you will make the gun flinch like mad. It's a really good weapon, but it doesn't outclass most weapons in the game. Also, the zero recoil just confirms that you need good aim to kill, rather than recoil making the job for you.
