How does the H&K MP7's bolt carrier design work?

The H&K MP7 features a unique 'dead blow' bolt carrier design. It contains tungsten powder, which acts as a dampener to absorb impact and prevent excessive bolt bounce, contributing to the firearm's reliable cycling during automatic fire.

An Armored Republic C3 Level 4 ceramic armor plate was tested against the MP7's 4.6x30mm rounds. The plate, made of Aluminum Oxide Ceramic with a UHMWPE backing, withstood multiple full-auto mag dumps, demonstrating its multi-hit durability.

What issues were noted after the MP7 repair?

After the repair and initial test firing confirmed full-auto capability, some reliability issues were observed when the MP7 was suppressed. The presenter suggested that a flow-through suppressor or additional lubrication might be necessary to resolve this.
