Battle rifle wasn't even invented at during the battle on Reach.Yes it most certainly was. Sgt. Johnson used a prototype version during the insurrectionist wars on Harvest, which is years before the Battle of Reach. Yup. Just read it. Though, was it massed produced by then?I don't think so, no. It's been awhile since I've read Contact Harvest, but I specifically remember Staten addressing the original Battle Rifle controversy about the novel (people were wondering why Johnson had one when they were supposedly not invented yet), and he responded that there is probably a good reason, specifically that Johnson in particular would have a prototype of such a weapon. So yeah, I'm guessing that back then it wasn't really mass-produced, but all those years later, it's possible that some made their way into the hands of special forces units.
Guess we'll have to wait and see, though.
