Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson, holding the XBR55 Battle Rifle in Halo: Contact Harvest. Two recruits can also be seen with the rifle in the background.
The XBR55[1] is the first model of the BR55 line; it is described as "a prototype long barreled weapon with an optical scope."[2] The weapon fires 9.5MMx40 FMJ SAP ammunition[3] from a 60 round magazine [4] and has a range of at least 950 meters.[verification needed] It was issued to Staff Sergeants Avery J. 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.
Trivia
- This was the first weapon to be used against the Covenant and caused the first death of the aliens by humanity.
- The prototype resembles the BR55HB SR much more than the standard BR55 model.
- When Sgt. Johnson first saw the gun, it said it had a 60 round magazine, on the cover, however, it had the standard 36. Johnson may have already fired off a few shots though.
