The only weapon that uses this caliber cartridge is the BR55 [[Battle Rifle]], which first appeared in [[Halo 2]] and returned in [[Halo 3]]. The fact that the Battle Rifle does much more damage than the original Assault Rifle could have to do with the higher knockdown power and kinetic energy transfer effect of the larger projectiles. | The only weapon that uses this caliber cartridge is the BR55 [[Battle Rifle]], which first appeared in [[Halo 2]] and returned in [[Halo 3]].

Overall, the 9.5mm x 40 Experimental Armor-Piercing round is an excellent medium-range intermediate cartridge, providing comparable effectiveness to the antiquated Russian 9x39mm round. The 9x39mm SP-5 and SP-6 subsonic armor piercing cartridges, which were developed for a series of special purpose sniper rifles and compact assault rifles, are also similar in use to the 9.5x40mm cartridge in the BR55.

The 9x39mm SP-5 and SP-6 subsonic armor piercing cartridges, which were developed for a series of special purpose sniper rifles and compact assault rifles, are also similar in use to the 9.5x40mm cartridge in the BR55. In many ways, the Battle Rifle is more of a true Assault Rifle than the MA5 Series, as its shorter, more controllable cartridge provides it with a great deal of accuracy and effectiveness against armored and energy-shielded foes in a wide variety of situations. | ||
