XBR55 battle rifle

Were you looking for the BR55 Battle Rifle, used in Halo 2, or the BR55HB SR Battle Rifle, used in Halo 3? The XBR55 is the first model of the BR55 line; it is described as "a prototype long barreled weapon with an optical scope." The weapon fires 9.5MMx40 FMJ SAP ammunition from a 60 round magazine and has a range of at least 950 meters. It was issued to Staff Sergeants Avery J. Johnson and Nolan Byrne as well as their militia squads' marksmen, Critchley and Jenkins by Lieutenant Commander Jilan al-Cygni for use during the Harvest event 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 humanity.
 * The prototype resembles the BR55HB SR much more than the standard BR55 model.
