The BR55HB SR Battle Rifle is a United Nations Space Command ground firearm.

Introduction

The BR55HB SR Battle Rifle is a variant of the Halo 2-era BR55 Battle Rifle. It is basically the same as the BR55 but has design changes. It is featured in Halo 3, and is a playable weapon in the Halo 3 Beta.

The BR55HB SR Battle Rifle is a burst-fire, gas-operated, mid to long range weapon. It is relatively the same as the Halo 2-era BR55 Battle Rifle, but with some design changes. It still fires the 9.5x40mm ammunition and it still has a scope with a 2x magnification. However, when using its scope, a red dot will appear over the reticule when it is sighted on the head of an opponent.

Its power as well as accuracy and range are pretty much the same, although its aural signature is slightly different and dampened. Template:WepList

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.
