}} | The '''M7S Submachine Gun''', sometimes referred to as the '''Suppressed''' or '''Silenced SMG''' or more colloquially by UNSC personnel as the '''bullet hose''', '''black box''', '''chum''' and '''popcorn''', is a personal defense weapon issued to [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Armed Forces|Armed Forces]] [[UNSC Special Forces|special operators]].{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} | ||
==Overview== | |||
===Design details=== | |||
A variant of the [[M7 SMG]], the M7S is equipped with an external flash and [[SS/M 49]] [[Suppressor (attachment)|sound suppressor]] on the barrel along with an underbarrel flashlight.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} To assist the user in target acquisition, the weapon is fitted with a [[SLS/V 5B]] [[smart-linking|smart-linked]] scope.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} Muzzle flash is significantly reduced, and firing the weapon gives a barely noticeable sound, increasing stealth applications for the M7S Submachine Gun and increasing accuracy from decreased recoil, making the weapon more efficient at medium-long range. It fires 5×23mm [[M443 Caseless Full Metal Jacket]] from a reduced 48-round magazine.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} Some usage of the M7S sees the SMG employed with a laser sight.{{Ref/Reuse|HW2}} | |||
===History=== | |||
The M7S was introduced into UNSC service in [[2431]]{{Ref/Reuse|Cosplay}}, and saw use during the [[Insurrection]]. The M7S was notably employed by [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]] during [[Operation: TALON]], during which they captured [[United Rebel Front|URF]] leader [[Robert Watts]].{{Ref/Film|TFORAS}} The weapon continued to see use throughout the [[Human-Covenant War]], becoming notably iconic in the hands of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]]. The weapon saw heavy use during the [[Battle of Mombasa]] in late [[2552]]{{Ref/Game|H3ODST|gameplay}}, and has since continued to see use by ODST units in the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts]].{{Ref/Generic|[[Hunt the Truth]]|[[Hunt the Truth Season 2/Blog posts|Season 2 Blog Posts]] - Interrupted}}{{Ref/Game|Id=HW2|HW2|Detail=ODST in-game unit}} | |||
==Gameplay== | |||
===Changes from ''Halo 2 Vista'' to ''Halo 3: ODST''=== | |||
*The weapon lacks an activated laser sight, which is now mitigated to a simple aesthetic on the weapon. | |||
*The M7S now has a 2× zoom scope, adding more ranged capabilities. | |||
===Changes from ''Halo 3: ODST'' to ''Halo 2: Anniversary''=== | |||
*The magazine size is increased from 48 to 60 and ammo capacity also increased from 192 to 240. | |||
*The M7S can now be dual wielded, however the player will be unable to utilize the guns' scope while dual wielding. | |||
*The weapon now has visible reticle bloom in place of spread. | |||
===Changes from ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' to ''Halo 3''=== | |||
*Can no longer be dual wielded. | |||
*Visible reticle bloom is replaced by spread. | |||
==Production notes== | |||
The M7S is one of [[Cut Halo 2 weapons|several weapons]] cut during the production of ''[[Halo 2]]''. In this iteration, the M7S was simply the regular M7 SMG with a sound suppressor attached, alongside updated particles and sound effects. The weapon was later introduced in the ''Halo 2'' [[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)|PC port]] as a default spawn on the [[Example]] map, and for use in [[modding]]. The weapon is also found by default on the cut map [[Cut Halo 2 levels#Beach Battle (forerunner sample)|Beach Battle]], similarly-intended for use as a modding tutorial. | |||
The weapon was first canonically mentioned in the [[Bungie.net]] article for the M7 SMG in ''Halo 3'',{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3smg|Site=Bungie.net|Page=The M7 / Caseless SMG|D=24|M=01|Y=2021|LocalArchive=Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present/M7}} referencing the ''Halo 2'' M7S, before properly being introduced as a staple weapon of ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', and in the updated multiplayer component of ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''. | |||
In ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', the release of ''Halo 2'' on PC saw the M7S added to the game's shared file directory, allowing anyone to use it via modding. The release of ''Halo 3: ODST'' on PC later saw the M7S ported into ''[[Halo 3]]'', available for use in multiplayer and [[Forge/Halo 3|Forge]]. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*The M7S is the starting weapon in most [[Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight]] levels in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' except for ''[[Windward]]'', where the player starts with a sniper rifle instead. | |||
*The ''Halo 3: ODST'' manual erroneously states that the M7S is "a sound-suppressed variant of the M7 rifle". | |||
*In ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', the M7S SMGs wielded by ODSTs are equipped with laser sights. | |||
