In response to a need for a new submachinegun for the UCAS Consular Operations, the Heckler & Koch engineers reworked the new MP7SD into a new version, the MP7SDCN (with the "C" standing for "Consular" and the "N" for "Navy" version). As with the whole line of MP7 series, the weapon fires the 9 x 19mm caseless round fed by a 30 round clip. It uses the same offset diopter sighting system as the MP7, and is fully ambidextrous, with the "0-1-3-20" trigger grouping, allowing full automatic fire, compared to the burst-fire only MP7/SD. However, like the MP7, the cocking handle is only on the left side. Using a ceramic frame, the weapon loaded is very light, and isn't that large either, easily more concealable than most suppressed weapons on the market today. The sights are to the side of the weapon, and aligning them 45º so a firer can aim the weapon without presenting a higher profile. Constant testing of this design ensured that the weapon held the same accuracy expected in all Heckler & Koch weapons. Both the rear and front sight can be removed to offer a better concealability, but accuracy suffers. The front sight clips in a well on the handguard, while an Allen wrench is provided to attach the rear diopter sight to the holes below the clip, above the grip. Removing the front sight is simple, with a depression in the mounting part that the user inserts a pen, or the allen wrench to release. A scope mounting system has been developed to allow all types of scopes to be mounted, as well as other sighting accessories. Shock pads are mounted on the stocks of the weapon, which because of the barrel mounted suppressor, cannot allow the use of Gas-Vent systems. Additionally, as per the "Navy" version, it is equipped with the Automatic Fire Stabilization System, allowing more efficient recoil compensation compared to the original MP7SD model. In addition to the integrally mounted Smartlink II, it is combined with a rangefinder to achieve impressive accuracy. Another main difference is the inclusion of the Modular Weapon System produced by Travilla Arms Group. The whole system has been put in the forward portion of the handguard to allow efficient removal of spent clips. Additionally, the user can still mount additional aiming options when the iron sights are mounted, but can obviously be removed if not needed. The top portion of the insertion guide ring is inclined to allow the clip to be removed 3/4 out of the well. The mounting of the MWS allows more efficient targeting options to be mounted, and combined with the changeable stock configuration, allows the weapon to be customized to a soldiers individual needs. However, the top rail has been moved forward so that any mounted option does not interfere with reloading. It makes it heavier compared to other versions, plus any included options, but the flexibility offsets this.

The stock options (solid and sliding) offer shock pads that give 2 points of recoil compensation when mounted. Mounted is the Electronic Recoil Adjustment system, preset for 8 rounds compensation. The front and rear sights require each a Simple Action to mount, and remove. A +1 to concealability is gained with these removed. It should be noted that if a character is ambidextrous, and wishes to have both sight systems (left and right) installed, reduce the Concealability by -1. The user can mount four additional accessories on the forward portion Modular Weapon System, reduce Concealability and add weight as normal. The sight kit comes with these accessories:
Left/Right Front Sight Post
Left/Right Rear Sight Post
Allen Wrench
Left/Right Scope Mount
Solid stock
Sliding stock
All of this comes in a shockproof case that is weatherproofed. It has a Barrier rating of only 3.
