Designated Marksman Rifle
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
A designated marksman rifle (DMR) is the weapon used by soldiers in the Designated Marksman role. These rifles have to be effective, in terms of precision target-acquisition and terminal ballistics, at ranges exceeding those of ordinary assault rifles or battle rifles (typically up to 500 metres / 550 yards) but do not require the extended range or lethal force of a dedicated sniper rifle (typically up to 1,000 metres / 1,100 yards).

UNSC DMR's often share some basic characteristics with sniper rifles in difference to the weapons carried by others in the DMs unit. DMRs may have an attached telescopic sight, quickly deployed stabilizing bipod to allow optimized accuracy and low-recoil in temporarily fixed situations or an adjustable stock. They retain semi-automatic firing capability (more rapid than bolt-action sniper rifles) and a larger magazine capacity of 10, 20, or 30 rounds depending on the firearm in question.
