BR85HB battle rifle: Difference between revisions

The BR85HB Service Rifle is a gas-operated, magazine-fed battle rifle. A select-fire weapon, the BR85HB is optimized for firing three-round bursts, though it is capable of semi-automatic and fully automatic fire.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', [[S1/Artifact|''Artifact'' introductory cutscene]]</ref><ref group="note">All official sources on Halo 4, (''e.g.'' in-game menus, the official website, and the UNSC ''Infinity'' briefing packet), claim that the BR85HB is a semi-automatic weapon optimized for three-round burst firing. This statement is self-contradictory and seems to be a convoluted way of describing the weapon as select-fire.</ref> The BR85HB is effective against the [[energy shielding]] of many types of armor. Like its predecessors, the BR85HB features a two-power scope and receives a 36-round box magazine. In the hands of a skilled marksman, the weapon's precision and accuracy make it a versatile weapon at a variety of ranges.<ref name="Ides of March"/><ref name="O+A"/> The BR85 features a telescopic sight with 2x magnification.
