Template:Weapon Infobox The XBR55 Battle Rifle[1] is a prototype weapon for the BR55 Service Rifle.[2]
Overview
The XBR55 is a long-barreled bullpup battle rifle equipped with a telescopic sight. The weapon fires 9.5x40mm round from a 60-round magazine.[3] It was issued to Staff Sergeants Avery Johnson and Nolan Byrne as well as their militia squads' marksmen, Critchley and Jenkins by Lieutenant Commander Jilan al-Cygni for use during the Harvest event during the year 2525. This was the first weapon to be used against the Covenant and caused the first alien casualty in the Human-Covenant War.
Trivia
