Its metric dimensions are 9.5x40mm, compared to the [[M118 7.62x51mm Full Metal Jacket Armor-Piercing]] [[rounds]] used in the [[MA5 Series]] of UNSC assault rifles. It was introduced into the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] along with the [[BR55 Battle Rifle]]. | ||

In combination with the BR55 Battle Rifle, this round is accurate enough that the 2x scope on the Battle Rifle is useful. Even when fired in three-shot bursts, the round produces little recoil resulting in very little muzzle lift. It is more effective against both shielded and unshielded [[Covenant]] personnel than the 7.62x51mm NATO, as the increased accuracy leads to an increased number of headshots and the increased kinetic energy of the round leads to faster shield depletion and increased damage to unshielded enemies. It has been shown that a [[BR55 Battle Rifle]] with M634 ammunition does enough damage to kill an opponent faster than an [[MA5C Assault Rifle]] using 7.62x51mm | In combination with the BR55 Battle Rifle, this round is accurate enough that the 2x scope on the Battle Rifle is useful.

However, while the M634 X-HP-SAP does do more damage than the 7.62x51mm NATO against vehicles, it is still not a very effective round at damaging or stopping vehicles. | However, while the M634 X-HP-SAP does do more damage than the 7.62x51mm NATO against vehicles, it is still not a very effective round at damaging or stopping vehicles. | ||
