Talk:BR55HB battle rifle

Name
Where the heck is the name of the Halo 3 weapon the BR55HB SR? Are there any sources for this, or is it fanon? Kora &#39;Morhekee 01:28, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

It appears on Halo3.com [User:Clavix2|Clavix2]]

Grenade Launcher
Why did someone add that the BR had a grenade launcher? None of the weapons in Halo have grenade launchers, excluding mods.

Designated marksman rifle
to me it sounds like a DMR man's gun

SR=Short Range???
Just throwing up the possibility of SR meaning not Sniper Rifle, but Short Range.

Does this weapon need its own article?
The BR in Halo 3 is functionally identical to its Halo 2 counterpart. Both versions have the same range, accuracy, firepower, magazine capacity, and ammunition. The only gameplay difference is the reduced auto-aim in Halo 3, which is an across-the-board change that does not indicate any notable differences between the BR's Halo 2 and Halo 3 iterations. Basically, there is nothing different about the Halo 3 other than the slightly altered designation.

Given the utter lack of differences between the Halo 2 and Halo 3 versions of the Battle Rifle, I fail to see how the Halo 3 version warrants having its own article. Unless someone gives me a good reason why they should remain separate, or an admin deems that are to remain separate and notifies me of their opinion on the matter, then at the end of the week I will tag this article for suggested merging with the BR55 article.Rtas Vadumee 07:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
