Just a thought, but when I see "Battle Rifle" and of course "BR" I don't think "Assault Rifle" and/or "AR".
What kinda flighty people do we have roaming around the forums nowadays...?

Technically, the Battle Rifle is an assault rifle.... It isn't THE Assault Rifle, but it is a type of assault rifle. The reason it is an assault rifle, and not a battle rifle, is that it fires small caliber rounds and doesn't have a long barrel which are two main characteristics of battle rifles. Battle rifles have been out of date since WWII, and I don't see why they would make a comeback in the future.

BR is the new pistol. Twin SMGs are the new AR. Of course the term "new" is now void as of Halo 3.
