“ | The BR75 is the primary service rifle for all branches of the UNSC. Default fire mode is a three-round burst, which enforces some measure of fire discipline in choatic situations. The rifle is effective at all ranges.[4] | ” |
The BR75 Service Rifle[5] is a battle rifle used by the UNSC,[2] manufactured by Misriah Armory in Eos Chasma.[6]
Overview
Design details
In appearance, the BR75 bears great similarity to the BR55 battle rifle. It features a scope with 2× magnification optics mounted on a rail set into its carry-handle, and feeds from magazines of 36 rounds.[1] Some notable differences between the BR75 and its predecessor include an accessory rail mount on the left side of the handguard, and a new muzzle brake, though some variants feature a 2P flash hider which further increase similarities to the BR55. It is a highly versatile weapon, capable of engaging targets at a variety of ranges,[4] and is particularly suitable for mid-range and long-range engagements.[5][7]
The weapon's side contains a barcode which translates to details of the weapon's manufacturer, the Misriah Armory facility at Eos Chasma, Mars.[6] However, models that are equipped with the 2P flash hider were standard for units manufactured on Reach.[8]
Usage
The rifle was used by First Lieutenant Maks Chapov during Blue Team's mission to Reach in 2559,[5] and continued to see use in 2560 during the Battle for Zeta Halo.[3]
Variants
- BR75 Breacher: A modified variant of the BR75 with a reduced magazine size from 36 to 30, but improved stopping power and a higher rate of fire, for close-ranged encounters.[9]
In-game information
“ | Three-round burst rifle, best utilized in mid-range engagements.[10][11] | ” |
The BR75 holds 36 rounds in its magazine, and 216 rounds in reserve. Highly effective at longer ranges compared to the MA40 assault rifle, or Mk50 Sidekick, the weapon features burst-fire functionality, a slowed rate of fire, and slight recoil. Players are able to zoom in with a 3× magnification scope. The weapon notably has a four-burst kill potential.
