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.
