M395 DMR
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Weapon Infobox The M395 Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) is a gas-operated designated marksman rifle designed by Misriah Armory and used by the UNSC Defense Force.[1][2] It is the successor to the M392 model used throughout the Insurrection and the Human-Covenant War. It reintroduces this series into the Marine Corps and the Navy after its predecessor's widespread replacement by the BR55 series. Like its predecessor, the M395 DMR is a select-fire weapon.[3] It is primarily used by light infantry scouts requiring powerful, long-range precision.[1]
Multiplayer
The DMR has the same kill time and shots to kill as the BR. (5 shots, 1.6 seconds) However, it's accuracy is hindered at close range due to a slight rise in the barrel that can throw players off. That said, a skilled player can control this rise, and coupled with it's laser accuracy, it technically outclasses the BR among the more skilled. Even if you can't control the rise, it definitely outclasses the BR at range no matter who's using it. So on large maps, if a player wants to use something more reliable at close range than the light rifle, the DMR is a good choice as well. You probably know this already but I think I have to say it anyway, the DMR is headshot capable. Big bam in the brainpan.
Trivia
- Strangely, in the final release version of Halo 4, the HUD icon for the DMR is actually an image of the Halo: Reach DMR. Ironically, some pre-release screenshots of the game show a different HUD icon depicting the correct version of the weapon, albeit lacking the forward iron sight.
