In order to deliver head shots to a target at medium-to-long ranges, a pause after each shot with the DMR is required to allow the reticule to contract to its smallest possible size. Immediately firing upon reacquisition of target maintains the maximum rate of accurate fire. While at close-to-medium range, it is only necessary to allow the reticule to shrink enough that it is roughly equal to the size of the target before firing again. At extremely close ranges, it is unnecessary to allow the reticule to contract at all, and it is most effective to fire the rifle as fast as possible.

It only takes five shots to take down a fully shielded [[SPARTAN-III Program|Spartan]] in [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]], provided the last shot is to the head. A skillful marksman can eliminate a shielded enemy with ease. This makes the DMR possibly one of the most versatile weapons in-game.

Compared to the [[M6G Personal Defense Weapon System|M6G Magnum]], the DMR has a slower firing rate in exchange for higher accuracy and larger magazine capacity, however it shares the same basic amount of damage.
