The only weapon that uses this caliber cartridge is the BR55 [[Battle Rifle]], which first appeared in [[Halo 2]] and will be returning in [[Halo 3]]. The fact that the Battle Rifle does much more damage than the original Assault Rifle could have to do with the higher knockdown power and kinetic energy transfer effect of the larger projectiles. | The only weapon that uses this caliber cartridge is the BR55 [[Battle Rifle]], which first appeared in [[Halo 2]] and will be returning in [[Halo 3]].

Overall, the 9.5mm x 40 Experimental Armor-Piercing round is an excellent medium-range intermediate cartridge, providing comparable effectiveness to the 7.62x39mm cartridge, but with much greater accuracy and slightly greater power. In many ways, the Battle Rifle is more of a true Assault Rifle than the MA5x-series, as its shorter, more controllable cartridge provides it with a great deal of accuracy and effectiveness against armored and energy-shielded foes in a wide variety of situations. | Overall, the 9.5mm x 40 Experimental Armor-Piercing round is an excellent medium-range intermediate cartridge, providing comparable effectiveness to the ancient 7.62x39mm Russian cartridge, but with much greater accuracy and slightly greater power.
