9.5 mm x 40 is a type of projectile ammunition with a caliber of 9.5 mm.
The only weapon that uses this caliber cartridge is the Battle Rifle, which was introduced in Halo 2 and will be returning in Halo 3. The fact that the Battle Rifle does much more damage than the original Assault Rifle]] could have to do with the larger bullets (Assault Rifle uses the 7.62mm AP-FMJ cartridge).
Interestingly enough, the BR and the weaker cousin of the M6D HE Pistol, the M6C Magnum Sidearm, both use bullets with the same length, yet the BR does much more damage than the Sidearm.
It is strange that this 9.5mm cartridge was even created. First of all, this cartridge is nearly 2mm wider than the biggest combat rifle cartridge, so it could be safe to say that the BR would have terrible recoil. But there are many theories. Future technology could counterbalance this large cartridge. Maybe some sort of advanced compensator or inhibitor. There is also the delayed blowback principle, in which in semi-automatic mode the rifles recoil occurs after the bullet leaves the barrel. And the heavy bullets are stored in the bull-pup style, so that helps too.
