*Technically, "HB" stands for "Heavy Barrel" which may hint at a more sustained fire and "SR" stands for "Sniper Rifle" which may also mean better accuracy. | *Technically, "HB" stands for "Heavy Barrel" which may hint at a more sustained fire and "SR" stands for "Sniper Rifle" which may also mean better accuracy. | ||
*This weapon was first introduced in Eric Nylund's Halo: First Strike novel. It was noted that this rifle had "a longer barrel and stock, with a cut down muzzle shroud." "A scope was mounted on an optics railing along the top of the rifle." Spartan-043 (Will) once commented on the rifle, "Auto zoom, nice." | |||
*In the Halo: Arms Race trailers and in Halo Wars, the BR55HB SR Battle Rifle seems to be automatic. But in Halo 3, however, it only fires in bursts of three rounds. This may just be due to Bungie trying balance the weapon out. | *In the Halo: Arms Race trailers and in Halo Wars, the BR55HB SR Battle Rifle seems to be automatic.

*The Battle Rifle seems to be a prototype in 2524. This variant of the weapon has a 60 round capacity, which is apparently reduced in later iterations. Possibly the only soldiers who wield them are [[Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson]], [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Byrne]], and their two militia marksmen, one of which is the famous [[Wallace A. Jenkins]]. | *The Battle Rifle seems to be a prototype in 2524. This variant of the weapon has a 60 round capacity, which is apparently reduced in later iterations.
