'''M634 Experimental High-Powered Semi-Armor-Piercing''', abbreviated as '''M634 X-HP-SAP''' or '''M634 9.5×40mm HP-SAP''', and also known as the '''9.5×40mm KURZ''',<ref name="art3">'''[[The Art of Halo 3]]''', ''page 57''</ref>{{Ref/Note|''Kurz'' is a German word for "short".}} is a 9.5×40mm rifle cartridge made specifically for the BR55, the BR75,{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=168}} and the BR85 series.<ref name="waypoint">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/battle-rifle '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Battle Rifle'']</ref> | |||
==Overview== | |||
The M634 X-HP-SAP was developed in conjunction with the prototype [[XBR55 Battle Rifle]]. As an experimental round, its use is only limited to the [[BR55 Battle Rifle]], the [[BR55 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle]], the [[BR75|BR75 Battle Rifle]], and the [[BR85 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle]]. While the round was designated as experimental around [[2525]], at some point between then and [[2558]], the "experimental" designation was dropped, becoming the M634 9.5×40mm HP-SAP.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} | |||
==Properties== | |||
As designated in its name, the M634 X-HP-SAP is an experimental round. It uses a special propellant that allows it to achieve a higher muzzle velocity than the M118 7.62×51mm round while using a smaller cartridge. It is also semi-armor-piercing, meaning that it mixes the properties of an [[armor piercing round]] with the properties of another type of round. The second type is unknown, though it is most likely similar to the [[M225 SAP-HE]] used in the [[M6 Series]]. | |||
