Designated Marksman Rifle: Difference between revisions

A '''designated marksman rifle''' ('''DMR''') is a modern scoped high-precision rifle used by infantrymen in the designated marksman (DM) role.  It generally fills the engagement range gap between a standard service rifle and a dedicated sniper rifle, at around at around 300–600 metres (330–660 yd). DMRs, unlike the often bolt-action sniper rifles, are almost always semi-automatic as these have higher rates of fire and typically larger magazine capacities (10, 20, or 30 rounds depending on the firearm and operational requirements) to allow rapid engagement of multiple targets.
