The M7 appears to take its design from three real-world firearms. The first is the Heckler and Koch G11, a caseless prototype assault rifle developed in the 1980's. The second is the Fabrique Nationale de Herstal P90. The last one is the H&K MP7. The M7 takes its caseless ammunition concept and feed mechanism from the G11, and its design from the latter two. As the MP7 and P90 are both personal defense weapons, it can be assumed that the M7 falls under this classification as well. Its slanted front, foregrip, collapsible stock, and possibly name come form the MP7, while its ergonomic grip and the horizontal magazine configuration come from the P90.


The overall design of the M7 appears similar to the 1984-1990 9x19mm Goncz GA-9 High Tech auto-pistol that was seen in Total Recall (1990).
