BR75 battle rifle

"An extraordinarily versatile weapon, with a wide variety of engagement ranges."

- Official description

The BR75 Service Rifle is a battle rifle used by the UNSC, manufactured by Misriah Armory in Eos Chasma.

Design details
In appearance, the BR75 bears great similarity to the BR55 battle rifle. It features a scope mounted on a rail set into its carry-handle, and feeds from magazines of at least 36 rounds. Some notable differences between the BR75 and its predecessor include an accessory rail mount on the left side of the handguard, and a new muzzle brake, though some variants feature a 2P flash hider which further increase similarities to the BR55. It is a highly versatile weapon, capable of engaging targets at a variety of ranges, and is particularly suitable for long-range engagements.

The weapon's side contains a barcode which translates to details of the weapon's manufacturer, the Misriah Armory facility at Eos Chasma, Mars. However models that are equipped with the 2P flash hider were standard for units manufactured on Reach.

Development history
The rifle was used by First Lieutenant Maks Chapov during Blue Team's mission to Reach in 2559, and continued to see use in 2560 during the Battle for Zeta Halo.

In-game information
The BR75 holds 36 rounds in its magazine, and 216 rounds in reserve. Highly effective at longer ranges compared to the MA40 assault rifle, or MK50 Sidekick, the weapon features burst-fire functionality, a slowed rate of fire, and slight recoil. The BR75, like the MA40 and Sidekick, had three weapon models released for it, during Season 01: Heroes of Reach.

Variants

 * BR75 battle rifle: The base variant of the BR75. Features a 36 round magazine, a 3x scope, and a four-burst kill potential.
 * BR75 Breacher: An improved version of the BR75 that decreases the magazine size from 36 to 30, reduces zoom (from 3x to 2x), and has increased damage and rate of fire.

Production notes
The BR75's firing sound was created from combining the sounds of the FN SCAR-H battle rifle and FN M240B medium machine gun.
