The M7S Submachine Gun[1] is a United Nations Space Command infantry weapon. It's also known as the Suppressed SMG, or M7S, and is commonly known as the Silenced SMG.
Background
The M7S is a variant of the M7 Caseless Submachine Gun, which fires a M443 Caseless Full Metal Jacket style round. This variant features an external flash and sound suppressor on the barrel along with a laser sight. Muzzle flash is significantly decreased, 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; however, power is decreased because of the slowing of projectile velocity from the suppressor. It is a good weapon for stealth and hit-and-run missions.
Bungie has also stated that it will also feature a scope, but the M7S will still have the same accuracy as a normal SMG.
Appearances
This weapon can be seen on an example map included in the files of Halo 2 Vista's built-in map editor. The map is simply named "Example" and the map's description is "This is just a small example of what you can do as a Halo 2 cartographer!".
The suppressed M7 can also be found in the Halo Graphic Novel Armor Testing story [2][3], Halo: Contact Harvest and in Halo: First Strike where SPARTAN-117 carried two Suppressed SMGs but only used a BR55 Battle Rifle during Operation: FIRST STRIKE [4].
In the novel Halo: Contact Harvest, Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson and his squad of Marines used suppressed M7's to take out a room in a bomb factory filled with Insurrectionists in the prologue of the book.
It also appeared in the hands of The Rookie in the Keep It Clean trailer for Halo 3: ODST, and also featured a red dot sight and a flashlight, making up for lack of a flashlight on his armor.
Trivia
- The protagonist of Halo 3: ODST, known as the "Rookie", has been known to favor this weapon [5].
- The M7S is featured in the CMT Campaign of Halo: Custom Edition. It is identical in function to the standard SMG, but it is equipped with a suppressor, making attacks with it much stealthier.
- This is the first weapon in a Halo video game series to be fitted with a suppressor.
