I never said that pistol is more effective than a rifle
what i am looking for is an accurate long range semi auto weapon, the M6D filled that roll and it was ungodly. you never said it was more effective than a rifle but it is.

that the sniper rifle is an anti-tank cannon,
The sniper in Halo fires a 14.5x114mm round. tghis is bigger than the .50cal BMG we use today. and a .50 cal have been known to penetrate light tanks

but the BR does behave more like an Assault Rifle than it should. What I meant is that there's already weapons that fill certain niches, and having the BR fill the niche of the Carbine and Pistol would be redundant (Which is also my word of the day).
i don't believe a human semi auto rifle would be redundant of the carbine, it like saying the sniper makes the beam rifle redundant

The BR should behave more like an actual battle rifle and fire from a longer range at the expense of CQC functionality, but I still think it should be a burst rifle.
well technically there is no assault rifle in all of halo
the entire MA5 series are Battle rifles.
battle rifle is just an Assault rife that fires an over-sized bullet, weight and balance have been known to be cumbersome. but a spartan could easily use a 4 foot long 20 pound sniper rifle while running. and in CQC what dose 6 to 8 inches of extra barrel length matter a spartan that could leap 6 feet and smash a Brutes face in with his stock.
the MA5 and BR55 are both Battle rifles
but I think the MA5 should be the jack of all trades rifle and the BR55 should be more of a marksman's rifle.
