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 Battle Rifle[1] is the first model of the BR55 series; 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 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 alien casualty in the Human-Covenant War
- The prototype resembles the BR55HB SR much more than the standard BR55 model.
- When first observed by Avery Johnson, he observed that it had a 60 round magazine. However, the cover shows the ammo count as the standard 36. Johnson may have already fired off a few shots, or this could be an error on the part of the cover artist.
