The 9.5x40mm Service Rifle, BR55, more commonly referred to as the BR55 battle rifle or simply as the BR55, was a high-caliber, selective-fire battle rifle which saw use in the UNSCDF as a special-issue infantry rifle throughout much of the Human-Covenant War. Hastily developed as a countermeasure to a threat that would never truly emerge, the BR55 seemed doomed to failure until the arrival of the Covenant in human space saw UNSC forces pitted against foes equipped with regenerating energy shields, against which the UNSC's standard MA5 rifles performed less than effectively. The unexpected success of the BR55 rifle would lead to the introduction of an improved version of the weapon, the BR85 service rifle, following the conclusion of humanity's cataclysmic war with the Covenant.

- The BR55 Service Rifle, commonly known as the Battle Rifle, is a United Nations Space Command infantry service rifle. It was first seen in Halo 2, although it has been in service since 2525. It is the older of the BR55 series rifles. It is most notable for its powerful three-round burst fire and accurate 2x scope, making it more efficient at farther ranges than the MA5 Assault rifle.
