It is my opinion that Earth was the only UNSC world to have access to the BR55, as even the hidden few on Reach were only advanced prototypes. After the Battle of Reach perhaps HIGHCOM decided to finally, (after ~27 ''years''), issue it as a standard weapon to Marine forces stationed at Earth/Luna/Sol. As for the lack of any MA5s in Halo 2 (the standard armament for Marines and soldiers), well, that's a gameplay element. In the two-ish months between the beginnings of Halo 2 and Halo 3, the UNSC had already upgraded/replaced many of its BR55s with BR55 HB SRs. The MA5C was, perhaps, already Earth's main assault rifle, rather than the more common B model, although the C was used | It is my opinion that Earth was the only UNSC world to have access to the BR55, as even the hidden few on Reach were only advanced prototypes.

To get this point out, I think the M6D is a special-issue, often NavSpecWar-issued weapon. The M6C is a standard Navy-issue weapon, and the M6G is a standard-issue Marine Corps weapon. --[[User:Braidenvl|Braidenvl]] 00:26, 29 August 2008 (UTC) | To get this point out, I think the M6D is a special-issue, often NavSpecWar-issued weapon.
