The SMG grenades themselves are rare and therefore should generally be used as a last resort or against a close group of enemies.This can be useful when the player believes that an enemy is almost dead, but does not want to run back and grab more rounds for the RPG. Grenades can do damage to enemies that are only harmed by explosives, such as Striders and Combine Gunships.Most humanoid enemies will die in one shot if they are either hit directly by the grenade or are very close to the point of impact. The secondary fire grenades are excellent for hitting targets that are behind cover or large groups of targets.Since fully automatic fire depletes ammunition quickly, ammo count should be closely watched.Enemies that have been wounded by the launcher can be easily finished off via the primary fire, even if the target is at medium to long range. The MP7's primary fire is very useful if combined with the built-in grenade launcher.While it can kill an enemy at medium range, it will usually take about a full magazine or so to kill one enemy, which is a waste of ammo (although this is counterbalanced with the often abundant supply of SMG ammo lying around, especially in urban areas). Because of the MP7's poor spread at medium to long range, it should be used mostly at short range.Overwatch Soldier being killed with the Scout Car while his MP7 flies towards Gordon.
