Talk:BR55 battle rifle

Halo: First Strike
Now correct me if I am wrong but in first strike it says that the Battle Rifle was a cut down version of the Assault Rifle that the Spartan twos found along with extra armour in ONI's Castle Base?

actually, the book made it clear that they were entirely new weapons. however, they did include features from the MA5B, and were even referred to as "assault rifles" at times, although the term is generally applied to a wide array of weapons in general. dont worry: it's an easy mistake to make.

Pre-Halo 2 Information
I've has this lingering thought in the back of my mind and now I've finally got a place to ask about it! Is it just me, or did the pre-Halo 2 reports state the battle rifle would be able to shoot a single bullet or a three-shot burst? Or am I crazy? lol. Please eleviate my concerns about my mental health on my talk page, Thanks :) --  Manticore  TalkundefinedCSV 14:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I think it was fixed in semi-auto at first, then changed to burst when not zoomed and shoot semi-automatic when zoomed. Not sure, though. -AK 18:49, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah it was origenly going to be single shot --Climax Viod 18:53, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Weapon Design
just realized, isn't the BR55 a bullpop? should that be added in?

Ammo Switch
even if it isn't something you can do in the games unless you mod, would it be possible to switch the battle rifles ammo to that of the M6D, or at least giving the BR55 rounds HE power? thanks, im doing a fan-fic and trying to keep it real to a point to the cannon story, so any replies would really help.
