Minor changes to the crewman kit from a US army tanker

The devs have H&K Mp7 WIP. I thought that was for the MEC crewman.
As most of you may know, the Mp7 is also a PDW and the P90's main competitor.
The reason I think it's for the MEC is that most of their weapons are from H&K so it would fit in well with the rest of their arsenal.
Correct me if I'm wrong but don't saudis own and use at least some US manufactured equipment? And yet none of it is in the MEC arsenal.

I believe the VIP on Street extraction already gets the MP7, and it seems to work fine.

Yeah, i thought it would be a good weapon for those kinds of classes because it certainly isn't something a person would get and go rambo with, i mean it's basically a crappy full auto pistol with an ***-load of power but terrible accuracy. Plus it's a beautiful, awesome gun...same goes for P90 except i think the P90 is most likely a better all around gun.

Dunno about that; supposedly they ordered a bunch of F2000s from FN.

It would probably vary enough that there would be no M4, as that is an Army weapon. The USMC would most likely equip its tankers with M16s.

Actually, if MEC was based off of actual Arab/Persian Equipment, they would have M1s (Eygpt, Kuwait, Suadi Arabia), Challengers (Oman), LeClercs (UAE), Cobras (Iran, Jordon. Bahrian), Apaches (Eygpt, Suadi Arabia, UAE).... but MEC doesn't for obvious reasons. Not very fun to have the same equipment on both sides.
