Designated the BR55 Battle Rifle, it was designed to replace the [[Pistol]] from the original game. It has also been heralded as the "New [[Pistol]]." It has reasonable power, decent rate of fire, and high accuracy, proving itself to be one of the most versatile weapons in the [[UNSC]] arsenal. With a 2x zoom scope, it can be used to deliver three-shot-bursts accurately from medium-to-long range. At close range, simply center the target in your sights and pull the trigger. Firing at any unshielded target in the head (besides [[Hunters]]) results in an instant kill (see [[head shot]]). | Designated the BR55 Battle Rifle, it was designed to replace the [[Pistol]] from the original game.
