Summary

The BR55HB SR is a burst fire, gas operated, mid to long range weapon. It is relativly the same as the BR55 Battle Rifle but with some design changes. It still fires the 9.5x40mm X-HP-SAP(Experimental High Power Semi-Armor Piercing)round and it still has a scope with a 2x magnification. Its power as well as accuracy and range are pretty much the same.

Description

The BR55 Battle Rifle is a bullpup UNSC rifle. It fires a larger bullet than an assault rifle, giving more power but also more recoil. Because of the difficult handling when firing fully-automatic, the BR55 is restricted to three-round bursts.

The rifle is an excellent all-around weapon. Its biggest problem lies in its magazine size combined with the burst fire, giving only 12 shots before reloading.
