Yea Ive always hated the default HL2 smg1 model so I decided to make a proper Combine MP7 variant.
Original post on my DA account here :

More or less the Combine version of the MP7 is based upon the prototype MP7 with some minor alterations.
Its barrel and action have been moved up to make room for a single shot integral 20x85mm grenade launcher that uses the same grenades as the XM-29 OICW. tho unlike the human versions the Combine manufactured grenades are simple HE fragmentation grenades that are contact detonated "and also based on the beta HL2 20mm grenades".

Since the action was moved up the combine variant uses the same type of magazines as the regular MP7s but slightly extended. This mean they carry 5 more rounds over their human built counter parts.
The Combine MP7 uses 25 and 45 round box magazines with the 25 round variant shown here. Also the Combine 45 round magazine unlike its human counter parts 40 round mag. is not curved but in stead is a simple straight box mag.
The integral grenade launcher is loaded under the gun where the fore grip folds. It is loaded in a similar manner to a convention a shotgun or more accurately like the Helghast STA-52 secondary shotgun from Killzone 1. When fired the spent grenade cartridge is ejected from the bottom of the gun again just like the Killzone 1 STA-52 secondary shotgun.

Nice
Cool concept! I'd like to share an MP7 concept of mine that has a more realistic size grenade launcher: Moddb.com
well yours is a generic AG-36 40mm UGL while mine was based on the real prototype OICW rifle & its mag fed 20x85mm HE grenade which would be recycled by the combine and its a nice lil reference to the beta OICW

Also I am a gunsmith by trade I designed mine to be a functional firearm so please don't insult me by saying this is unrealistic. Impractical? yes quite likely but it will function if built.
The HL2 underbarrel grenade world model looks more like 40 mm one than 20 mm, it's quite big.
Good Work!
>The Combine MP7 uses 25 and 45 round box magazines with the 25 round variant shown here.
I think the 45-round variant is shown here, as the 4.6x30 mm caliber is quite small and the mag is really long, 45 rounds will fit even in a single stack.
