The Army prefers to use the [[M392 DMR|M392 designated marksman rifle]] for medium-range suppression, which has been replaced in all other branches of service by the [[BR55 battle rifle]]. DMRs were commonly used by Army scouts and squad marksmen since [[2512]], and still remain in service with the branch's sharpshooters due to the weapon's reliability and use of standard [[7.62x51mm|7.62×51mm M118 FMJ-AP]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22Weapons}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/dmr|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=DMR|D=13|M=04|Y=2016}} However, by [[2558]], the [[BR85 battle rifle]] equipped with the [[COG sight]] was undergoing final Army SPECWARCOM trials.{{Ref/Game|H5G|List of REQ cards|REQ card|Detail=COG Battle Rifle Description|Quote=Battle Rifle with COG.

The [[M6G magnum]] has traditionally reigned as the standard sidearm adopted by the Army (with the Marine Corps instead preferring the [[M6G2 magnum|M6G2 variant]]). However, following the end of the Human-Covenant War, all branches of the UNSC switched to the [[M6H magnum|M6H]] and [[M6H2 magnum]]s - with this adoption finished by the year [[2555]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22Weapons}}{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/348c4827-e10c-49a4-89ef-1c365af8689f/magnum|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo 4 Interactive Guide - Weapons: Magnum|D=01|M=05|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Halo 4 Interactive Guide#UNSC Weapons}}{{Ref/Book|H4EVG|Page=64}} The Army is the only branch of the UNSC to make use of the [[M6J/C carbine|M6J carbine variant]] of the M6 series.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3pistol|Site=Bungie.net|Page=M6G | The [[M6G magnum]] has traditionally reigned as the standard sidearm adopted by the Army (with the Marine Corps instead preferring the [[M6G2 magnum|M6G2 variant]]).
