The BR55HB SR Battle Rifle is a gas-operated, magazine-fed, shoulder fired, mid-to-long range [[weapon]], which fires in short 3-round bursts. It can be semi-automatic, or fully-automatic, but it is commonly used in burst fire. The Battle Rifle is suspected to be the most efficient infantry rifle in the [[UNSC]] Armory. As the modern successor to the BR55 Battle Rifle, the BR55HB SR remains relatively unchanged, firing the [[M634 9.5x40mm X-HP-SAP]] round from a magazine of 36. It is equipped with a blue 2x electronic [[scope]] for better accuracy at longer ranges. The penetrative power, accuracy, and range of the BR55HB SR are roughly equivalent to the BR55, although its accuracy has slightly increased from its earlier counterpart.<ref>''[[Halo 3]]''</ref> | The BR55HB SR Battle Rifle is a gas-operated, magazine-fed, shoulder fired, mid-to-long range [[weapon]], which fires in short 3-round bursts.

While the BR55HB SR offers far greater range and accuracy than the MA5C, it can be more difficult to use during close-quarters engagements. The firing characteristics of the BR55HB SR are comparable to the Covenant's [[Type-51 Carbine]], though they are very different in appearance and mechanical operation. The BR55HB SR has a three round burst that similar to the modern M16 of the AR rifle series, as the Covenant's Type 51 Carbine shoots semi-automatic. | While the BR55HB SR offers far greater range and accuracy than the MA5C, it can be more difficult to use during close-quarters engagements.
