Johnson and Nolan Byrne as well as their militia squads' marksmen during the year 2525.

Trivia
- This was the first weapon to be used against the Covenant and caused the first death of the aliens by the Humans.
- Even though the Prototype BR-55's magazine capacity is stated to be 60 rounds, on the cover of Halo: Contact Harvest, the Battle Rifle Avery Johnson is holding has 36 rounds, although it is possible he hasn't reloaded.
- The prototype resembles the BR55HB SR much more than the BR55 variation.
