Alot of assumtions are being made in the above commentary about the 9.5mm x 40 cartrage; Has anyone actully seen specs for it? Does the 40 even stand for the case length? That number could be anything from the birthday of the designer to the powder charge.  Is the 9.5mm x 40 a bottle neck cartrage? If the 9.5 was a straight wall cartrage with a case diameter of say 10mm it would be aprox 2 mm smaller than the 7.62 Nato cartrage. the bullet diameter and case size are rarely related; the same bullet can be loaded in the 30 M1 carbine and the 300 Weatherby Magnum and the 7.62 Nato all with dramaticly different case sizes and balistic performance. And who really knows by the 25th century magazines could easily be triple stacked and not require folded springs or thick followers to feed reliably and be mass produced with much greater capacity. Regardless the MA5B mag holds 60 and the BR55 36.

Well we have never actully seen a real life BR55 from the halo universe. 500 years seems like decent amount of time to come make something like this happen. We've never witnessed any one take the gun apart or even seen the amunition itself, plus things like guns seem slighty bigger in person.([[User:0nyx Sp1k3r|0nyx Sp1k3r]] 23:15, 11 October 2007 (UTC))

robrob
hello my name is robrob. i have been shooting guns since i was 8. wile i agree that the .30 cal or 7.62 would be hard to control in a automatic gun there are other things to consider such as stopping power. for example i believe that the shields of elites work as so. speed of projectile X size of projectile = amount of energy needed to deflect round. in this case the larger more powerful rounds would be more effective against shielded targets. this can be seen in space battles when the super mack gus can propel a massive round that is almost fired at light speed. perices covie ships like tin foil. on the other hand light rounds from small ships bounce off.
                                            thank you,
