The M7 Caseless Submachine Gun, more simply known as the SMG, is a close-range UNSC infantry weapon.

Overview & Background[]

Like the Halo 1 Assault Rifle, it's an inaccurate, yet effective bullet hose, with a 60-round clip able to be discharged in 4 seconds flat. The weapon is effective against Grunts, Brutes, and Elites, although on higher difficulties, Brutes and Elites often require a combination of melee or grenades to be easily taken down.

M7/S Submachine Gun[]

The M7/S is virtually identical to the standard M7, but features a suppressor and a 2x zoom. The Suppressed SMG produces no noise that can be heard by its targets, although AI can react to the impact of shots if the user misses. The 2x scope does not affect the guns accuracy, but it is useful for observing enemies from afar, and taking down lighter units such as Grunts when fired in bursts.

Amped M7 Submachine Gun[]

The Amped M7 Submachine Gun is a variant of the SMG found only in the campaign of Lumoria. The Amped M7 provides an extended magazine, allowing the SMG to have an enormous ammo pool of 90 rounds. Moreover, the Amped SMG also has an extended maximum ammo count beyond 660 rounds, with the weapon maxing at 900 rounds. This makes the SMG more powerful than the standard, at the cost of depleting ammunition even faster.

Developer Information[]

Despite complaints, the Halo 1 Assault Rifle was deemed to be near perfect. In terms of damage and rate of fire, the SMG is identical to that of the H1 AR. However, the accuracy was slightly increased, as a way to compensate for the kickback that every iteration of the weapon has had.

As it is a smaller and lighter weapon by design, the animations that reflect that ended up giving it a quicker melee and reload than the standard H1 AR, which compliments its close quarters functionality.

Trivia[]

  • The standard SMG has green lights, while the suppressed version has red.
