Originally, the M7 SMG was issued solely to vehicle crews as an emergency weapon; however, the submachine gun became widely used during the [[Insurrection]]. The weapon became favored by paramilitary police units and [[UNSC Special Forces]] units for its efficiency in eliminating [[Insurrectionist|insurgents]] located in orbital habitats and cluttered urban environments. Due to this efficacy, the M7 was also popular with those same Insurrectionists. Although the UNSC began trialing replacements for the weapon, the M7 SMG remains the current submachine gun model used by the UNSC following the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="universe"/>
