M7 SMG: Difference between revisions

The M7/Caseless Submachine Gun (also known as ''the bullet hose'' or ''SMG'') is a fully automatic, gas-operated, magazine fed, [[dual-wieldable]], close to medium  range weapon. The SMG fires 5x23mm Caseless FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) rounds from a 60-round magazine at a velocity of 427 m/sec (1400 ft/sec) with an extremely high rate of fire (15 rounds/sec or 900 rounds/min). This high rate of fire combined with the weapon's relatively low weight leads to considerable recoil and forces the barrel to steadily creep upwards during continuous/ automatic fire. It also sports a telescoping stock and folding fore-grip. The SMG lacks range (only being effective up to 50 meters) as well as accuracy so it is strictly a short range weapon. If you carry this weapon you, ideally, should be good at short range combat (as close as you would be with a Shotgun). When the Halo 3 Official Guide was published by the Piggyback Team, they said 'If the [[M6G Personal Defense Weapon System|Magnum]] or [[Battle Rifle]] could be said to possess the precision and accuracy of a surgeons scalpel in the right hands, the SMG is more akin to a rusty chainsaw.'
