The '''M7/Caseless Submachine Gun'''<ref>http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3smg</ref>, more simply known as the '''SMG''', is a [[United Nations Space Command]] infantry and special operations weapon. There is also a version, the [[M7S Submachine Gun]], which is equipped with an external suppressor to reduce the sound of the gunshots and reduce the flash from the muzzle, combine this with the light weight, and this gun becomes the weapon of choice for stealth operations. | The '''M7/Caseless Submachine Gun'''<ref>http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3smg</ref>, more simply known as the '''SMG''', is a [[United Nations Space Command]] infantry and special operations weapon.

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 HK 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 from the MP7, while its ergonomic grip and the horizontal magazine configuration come from the P90. | The M7 appears to take its design from three real-world firearms.

*In ''Halo 3'', the M7 submachine gun does about 3/4ths as much damage as the [[MA5C Assault Rifle]], and 5/8ths as much damage as the [[Brute Spiker]]. On Heroic difficulty, it takes 24 assault rifle shots or 20 Spiker shots to kill a human Marine, compared to about 32 submachine gun shots. | *In ''Halo 3'', the M7 submachine gun does about 3/4ths as much damage as the [[MA5C Assault Rifle]], and 5/8ths as much damage as the [[Brute Spiker]].

*Despite remarks made by the Marines stating that only Spartans can dual-wield the M7 (and the fact that it is indeed not possible in ''Halo 3: ODST''), [[Miranda Keyes]] was seen dual-wielding it in ''Halo 2'', with a [[shotgun]] (which is normally non-dual-wieldable), no less. This is likely because of the skill needed, and that Spartans wield it like "action heroes", while Keyes was firing while stationary and only "swept" the area. | *Despite remarks made by the Marines stating that only Spartans can dual-wield the M7 (and the fact that it is indeed not possible in ''Halo 3: ODST''), [[Miranda Keyes]] was seen dual-wielding it in ''Halo 2'', with a [[shotgun]] (which is normally non-dual-wieldable), no less.
