The BR55HB SR entered service in [[2548]], serving alongside the standard BR55 Service Rifle. For decades, the BR55 had steadily gained favor over the long-serving [[M392 Designated Marksman Rifle]]. The introduction of the BR55HB SR led to an immediate increase in the BR55's popularity, prompting all branches of the [[UNSC Armed Forces]], except the [[UNSC Army|Army]], to replace the M392 with the newer weapon. | The BR55HB SR entered service in [[2548]], serving alongside the standard BR55 Service Rifle.

As with the basic model, the BR55HB SR is employed as a medium-to-long range [[Wikipedia:Marksman rifle|marksman rifle]]; though its barrel is 25.9 centimeters (10.2 inches)longer than that of the BR55, the BR55HB SR performs almost identically to its predecessor. | As with the basic model, the BR55HB SR is employed as a medium-to-long range [[Wikipedia:Marksman rifle|marksman rifle]]; though its barrel is 25.9 centimeters (10.2 inches)longer than that of the BR55, the BR55HB SR performs almost identically to its predecessor.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} It fires [[M634 Experimental High-Powered Semi-Armor-Piercing|M634 X-HP-SAP round]] from a 36-round magazine, which fits flush in the receiver. The magazine housing is built directly into the underside of the stock of the rifle and is located behind the grip. Though the BR55HB SR is a select-fire weapon, it is most often used in its three-round burst mode.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Despite firing a very powerful cartridge, the weapon is subject to little recoil, even when being fired automatically.<ref>'''Halo: Last One Standing'''</ref> | ||
