Ironically, as with the [[M392 DMR|M392]] and [[M395 DMR|M395]] DMRs erroneously ejecting the signature shell casings of the Battle Rifle, the BR85N in ''Halo 5: Guardians'' now erroneously ejects what appear to be the [[M118 Full Metal Jacket Armor-Piercing|M118 7.62x51mm]] shell casings of the DMR. | |||
