M7S SMG

"The suppressed M7 -- tears through armor and turns bad guys into chum."

The M7S Submachine Gun, sometimes referred as the Suppressed or Silenced SMG, is a personal defense weapon issued to UNSCDF special operations personnel.^[2]

Design details

A variant of the M7 SMG, the M7S is equipped with an external flash and SS/M 49 sound suppressor on the barrel along with a flashlight.^[2] To assist the user in target acquisition, the weapon is fitted with a SLS/V 5B smart-linked scope.^[2] 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 x 23mm M443 Caseless Full Metal Jacket from a reduced 48-round magazine.^[2]

Gameplay

Changes from Halo 3: ODST to Halo 2 Anniversary

The magazine size is increased from 48 to 60.
The M7S can now be dual wielded, however the player will be unable utilize the guns' scope while dual wielding.

Trivia

The M7S is the starting weapon in most 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".
