The M392 is an air-cooled, magazine-fed, gas-operated select-fire bullpup rifle that fires 7.62×51mm ammunition.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|WP13}} It accepts a fifteen-round detachable box magazine similar. The weapon has a mounted [[EVOS-D]] optic capable of 3× magnification. The weapon's fire selector switch (located above the grip) has three settings: ''SAFE'', ''FIRE'', and ''AUTO''.{{Ref/Reuse|WP13}} The magazine release button is located directly above the magazine well, behind the trigger. The weapon has an ejection port on either side so it may be used comfortably by a right- or left-handed shooter.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|WP13}}{{Ref/Reuse|Bnet}}

The overall construction of the M392 is modular in nature, allowing it to serve as a versatile alternative to the predominant [[assault rifle]] and [[battle rifle]] lines used by the rest of the UNSC.
