*John-117's signature weapon is normally the Assault Rifle, but in promotional art for ''[[Halo 2]]'', where that weapon is not available, the Chief is almost always depicted dual-wielding a pair of M7 SMGs.
*In ''Halo 2'', when the player wields a single M7 and not another weapon, the SMG's the stock is extended. While an M7 is wielded with another weapon, the stock is collapsed. In ''Halo 3'', the stock remains set half-way in both the first-person and third-person views, whether the weapon is being dual wielded or not.
*The SMG is, in many ways, the same as an [[MA5B]] Assault Rifle, as it has relatively similar range, power and capabilities. As with the MA5B, pulsing is a usable technique to increase accuracy and power. This may explain why it is a very common weapon in ''Halo 2'', as the MA5B Assault Rifle was in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''.
*In ''Halo Wars'', the M7 SMGs used by [[Douglas-042]] and [[Alice-130]] eject shell casings, despite the fact that the M7 fires caseless rounds. In ''[[The Babysitter]]'', the [[M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|M7S]] is seen ejecting shell casings. This may mean that the M7 can utilize cartridges, though it is more likely that these occurrences are just dramatic interpretations or oversights.
*In ''Halo 2'' when wielding one SMG, the stock is extended, and while dual-wielding the stocks are collapsed. In ''Halo 3'', the stock is always in one position in 3rd person view but collapsed in 1st person when dual wielding, but is still adjustable canonically.
*Although the M7 Submachine Gun is primarily issued to vehicle crews, it is also a favorite of commando teams in its sound suppressed version, the M7S.<ref name="H3R"/> The issuing of the M7 to vehicle crews is similar to how real world vehicle crews are issued carbines and SMGs because of the fact that these weapons would take up less space in a vehicle.
*In ''Halo Wars'', the Spartans in the cutscenes are using M7 SMGs that eject empty shell casings, despite the fact that the M7 fires caseless rounds. Also, in the ''[[Halo Legends]]'' episode "[[The Babysitter]]", the [[M7S/Caseless Submachine Gun|M7S]] can be seen ejecting shell casings. This means that there could be an older version of the M7 that uses traditional cartridges, though it is more likely that these occurrences are just a dramatic interpretation to enhance the scenes.
