The suppressed submachine gun is one of [[Cut Halo 2 weapons|several weapons]] cut during the production of ''[[Halo 2]]''. In this iteration, the SMG was simply the regular SMG with a suppressor attached and updated particles and sound effects. The weapon was later introduced in the ''Halo 2'' [[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)|PC port]] as a default spawn on the [[Example]] map, and for use in [[modding]]. The weapon is also found by default on the cut map [[Cut Halo 2 levels#Beach Battle (forerunner sample)|Beach Battle]], similarly-intended for use as a modding tutorial.

The weapon was first properly introduced as a staple weapon of ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', and in the updated multiplayer component of ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''.

In ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', the release of ''Halo 2'' on PC saw the suppressed SMG added to the game's shared file directory, allowing anyone to use it via modding. The release of ''Halo 3: ODST'' on PC later saw the M7S and its pistol counterpart ported into ''[[Halo 3]]'', available for use in multiplayer and [[Forge/Halo 3|Forge]].
