For me, having fired such a beautiful weapon both on exercise and for 'real', it has to be the K&K MP5SD3 or the H&K MP10.

Even at 100 metres, on full auto, when that lovely little 3 round burst facility is used, even when the trigger is kept depressed. Result? Not more than a 3-4 inch group per mag! Outstanding!

Not much was known about this weapon until the SAS stormed the Iranian Embassy in 1980 and now, every man and his dog has got one or wants one. Good guys, bad guys, film makers and terrorists alike. All use these wonderful weapons incorrectly.

The H&K MP5 family are close quarter weapons best used for seige busting and the H&K MP5K is great for close protection BG work.

Either way, it is small, silent and deadly. As somebody said B4, only hammer is heard when firing and you have to strain to hear that!

The MP10 on the other hand, is just a 10 milly version of the MP5 and a S&W version at that, but it is so much noiser. Until they worked it out, firing the MP10 was very much like firing the old Sterling SMG.

Whatever happened to the MP10?

Personnaly I would go for a Shotgun Probably an M870...I likt to keep it simple and sweet...and it's good for clearing rooms

Shotgun = spray = chance to kill hostages.
Shotgun = slow rate of fire = chance to get shot.
(Genrelizatino of them.)

I'd still stick with the MP7A1, I've yet to see a reason not to. One handed, fast rate of fire, armour piercing, easy to reload, limited kick back, etc, etc.

What do the others offer that can beat it?

Odium...all that you said is very true.
But it all depends on the situation, the place and the layout,
Number of intruders/enemy....it all factors in
I dont care to discuss my profession on ATS but I think I have a little clue of how this works.

What I mean by it being the same size, is you can carry a second MP7A1 instead of a pistol.

So, if ony blocks you can switch to the other and have just as good a weapon. As well as not having to carry two different types of ammunition.
