M7 submachine gun

The M7 submachine gun, more simply known as the SMG, is a United Nations Space Command infantry weapon. A suppressed version, the M7S submachine gun, is used by UNSC special operations personnel.
== Design details ==
The M7 submachine gun is a selective fire (progressive trigger) submachine gun that fires from a 60-round magazine which is placed horizontally on the left side of the weapon. The magazine utilizes a circular ramp where the magazine meets the breech. This rotates the vertically stacked rounds in the magazine 90 degrees until they align with the horizontal breech.
The SMG has a polymer handle, folding fore-grip, collapsible buttstock, iron sights, and a titanium body. Prior to firing when empty, the bolt must be cycled to chamber the first round. The charging handle is located on the left side of the gun underneath the magazine and does not move when firing. Once the first round is fired, the gases from previous rounds force the breech to rotate and chamber a new round. Once the magazine is empty, the charging handle can be either pulled back and locked, or fully cycled after a fresh magazine has been inserted. If it is first pulled back and locked, then it must be pushed forward in order to chamber a new round. The magazine release button is located between the red dots on the left side of the receiver and needs to be pressed before the magazine can be removed.
The SMG has a rifled barrel that is 15 centimetres (5.9 in) long, with an overall length of 47.4 centimetres (1 ft 6.7 in) with the stock retracted, or 62.7 centimetres (2 ft 0.7 in) with the stock fully extended.
The SMG can also be fitted with a suppressor, flashlight, reflex sight, and smart-link scope. In this configuration, the weapon is designated as the M7S Submachine Gun.
=== Ammunition ===
The M7 SMG fires 5.7x23mm polymer cased ammunition, these rounds are capable of penetrating most forms of body armor at a distance of 50 meters.
