BR-885 NOVAK

The is a gas operated battle rifle manufactured by UNSC Defence. It is issued to regular NXSC infantrymen on limited numbers, but a favoured long range combat rifle for KNIGHT super soldiers. Its success saw the upgrade by turning it into a conventional design rather than a bullpup, which saw equally impressive results.
==Design==
The is an air-cooled, magazine-fed, gas-operated select-fire bullpup rifle that fires 7.62×51mm NXSC ammunition. It accepts a twenty-round detachable box magazine akin to the previous rifles, but it notably sits tight inside the magwell similar to a pistol. The rifle has a mounted Leupoldinne NVK optic capable of 6× magnification. The weapon's fire selector switch (located above the grip) has three settings: SAFE, FIRE, and AUTO. The magazine release button is located directly above the magazine well, behind the trigger. The rifle has an ejection port that can be switched on either side so it may be used comfortably by a right or left handed shooter.
The 's intended battlefield application is to provide accurate fire at long range. It is intended for experienced operators with proficient skill in shot placement and controlled firing bursts since the trigger pull is heavy and the user must have the consistent trigger finger to effectively deliver accurate single or burst shots to the target and to ensure that the target is neutralized at the fastest possible rate.
It has a variant, an upgrade which is a conventional layout rather than bullpup.

==Trivia==
===General=== 
*Standard issue battle rifle for KNIGHT-III super soldiers deployed on Colossus Prime and various hostile planets.
*The NOVAK's ejection port is reversible through factory modifications. This makes it one of the rare bullpup rifles that are friendly for left handed shooters.
* According to the NXSC, the BR-205 is way more inferior to the NOVAK in combat performance. However, this rifle is most intended for KNIGHT super soldiers.
* KNIGHT-II supersoldiers still use the BR-410 as their preferred weapon, claiming that the NOVAK is an "Unnecessary upgrade".
*One of the few bullpup firearms that left handed people can use safely.
*It is a descendant of the BR-925 MCRA.
*This rifle can be modified to fire in three round bursts for superior precision compared to full auto.
