I mean story wise. Why does the UNSC stop manufacturing the assault rifle for a couple of months during the events of Halo 2 only to start again during the events of Halo 3 as the most popular weapon wielded by UNSC personnel (marines odst's even the chief has it in al the cutscenes)
Well story wise, the AR is still produced, it's simply not distributed where we visit or happens to not be present there. The BR was technically around during the events of the first Halo, we just never were around it.
Now, gameplay wise, it's essentially the SMG. If I remember correctly, the SMG is ALMOST a clone of the AR apart from a few balancing issues and of course model differences. I don't know about the Halo 3 SMG being anything like the Halo CE AR.
