The BR55HB SR Battle Rifle is a marvelously effective weapon against all types of enemies, from [[Grunts]] to [[Brutes]] and [[Elites]] to [[Spartans]]. An important thing to note is that the BR55HB SR can be used to great effect at medium to long range. The trick with making the BR55HB SR Battle Rifle effective at long range is minimizing the firer's side-to-side i.e. "strafing" movement. Strafing while firing greatly decreases the efficiency of the rifle. Additionally, while firing at a moving target it is important to aim in front of the target, especially when the target is moving perpendicular to the aim of the rifleman. For targets on foot it is optimal to aim 0.75-1.00 head-widths in front of the target to guarantee the maximum possible number of rounds impact the target. For targets in [[vehicles]] it is ideal to aim 1.75-2.5 head-widths in front of the target. Attempting use of a BR55HB SR Battle Rifle against vehicles at great range is not advised. Odds are the vehicle you are trying to take down is not an immediate threat to the rifleman and he should shift his focus to a more readily available target. | The BR55HB SR Battle Rifle is a marvelously effective weapon against all types of enemies, from [[Grunts]] to [[Brutes]] and [[Elites]] to [[Spartans]].
