BR55 battle rifle: Difference between revisions
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
(The ''Halo Encyclopedia'' claims that the BR55 battle rifle has a maximum effective range of 200 meters. Rifles chambered for its real-life counterpart, the 9x39mm cartridge, have similar effective ranges. This means it's likely the BR55 has a similar effective range.) |

However, this figure is unlikely given that most 21st century rifles have an effective range far greater than 200 meters. As such, this article assumes that the BR55 has the same range as its prototype, the XBR55.}} | ||

{{Quote|When nothing else gets the job done, the BR55 Battle Rifle will do. As the standard gun for all UNSC forces, the BR55 is the easiest gun to pick up and use. Almost all soldiers have trained with it, making its slight defects less noticeable, while accentuating its high rate of fire and accuracy. With both semi-automatic and burst-fire modes, the BR55 is the backbone of all UNSC armed forces.| ''Halo Encyclopedia''}} | {{Quote|When nothing else gets the job done, the BR55 Battle Rifle will do.
