The M7 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 horizontally stacked rounds in the magazine 90 degrees until they align with the horizontal breech.
Looks kind of like a futuristic MP7.
Yeah, kinda. This is the original: Wikicheats.gametrailers.com
I think I'd like this one better as a pistol.
Maybe. I also still haven't got a clue where they put the clip. I mean, I think the human weapons in Halo fire bullets... uh, right? anyone?
