BR54A1

The BR54A1 Battle Rifle, inaffectionately nicknamed the Clucker, was a UNSC firearm manufactured by Misriah Armory.
== Design Details ==
The BR54A1 was a sturdy and reliable, if unspectacular, weapon. In its essence, the BR54A1 was a straightforward modification of the almost unusable BR54, incorpating an improved gas system, a heavier barrel, and a digital rangefinding system. It was chambered in a larger round and fitted with a new receiver, and the entire weapon was coated in black polymer to make it resilient to the elements. 
However, the barrel's compensator was known to fall off, the new receiver was prone to jams, the trigger was too light and often caused misfires, the toxic gases often leaked, and the rangefinder's readings were, at best, inaccurate. 
Beyond this, the noise emitted by the weapon when fired was often described as "obnoxious", "annoying", and "ridiculous" by those who used it. Due to the size of the barrel, large enough to accommodate 10.38mm rounds, the sound of the trigger mechanism was often amplified and echoed, resulting in a chicken-like "Bock-Kah".
None the less, the Clucker was approved by the UNSC Board and went into front-line service in early 2498.
