"I'd rather have nothing else"

- UNSC ODST

The Battle Rifle 09 Scoped Rifle is the complementary armament for UNSC ground troops. The weapon has had several major and minor changes from the BR55, is ancestor but remains outwardly similar. The weapon is made from dense polmyer shell with Titanium optics raid and reciever. The computer suite has now been heavily expanded, now capable of interlinking with attachments to the gun, one being optical sites or fire control sites, when mixed with the M023 Shotgun, M024 Grenade Launcher and the M025 Rocket Launcher, allowing fuse and firing settings to be made. The weapon is also lighter over previous models, increasing its usefulness in the field. By standard the weapon comes equipped with a scope with 2x zoom and tritium illumination.

Uses
The BR09 SR is the complementary gun to the MA6A, making it a go between a sniper rifle and a assault rifle. Though it has largely been upsurped from the position of deisgnated marksman rifle, it is still produced in quantities to make it easily fielded as a stnadard rifle.

Operation
The weapon is in a bullpup configuration, with the magazine behind the trigger, making it more compact. The weapon features a fire control system, monitoring ammunition. The front hand guard can a underslung weapon attached to it. The weapon features three Misriah Rails, one along the top of the fire control suit and one on each side of the lower barrel.

UNSC Comments
"The rifle is a bastard to clean, thats my only gripe. Its an absolute bastard to field strip."

"Its been completely screwed over by increased capabilities of the MA6A and the HBR11. Its just good as a assault rifle now..."

"Those Misriah Rails help alot. Means you can modify it for any mission with stuff like night scopes, laser targeters, flash lights, anythin'."
