The M395B Designated Marksman Rifle (M395B DMR) is a gas-operated marksman rifle designed by Misriah Armory and used by the United Nations Space Command. It replaced the older M395 DMR.[1][2]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
The M395B is a variant of the M395 that lacks the external ammo counter, making its top flat and allowing easier mounting of scopes. It also has an increased magazine capacity of 15 and on its right side, the ejection port is now modelled. Very minor cosmetic differences can be seen, such as a shorter cheek rest and folded front sight. It is most often fielded with a Longshot sight.[2][3]
Configurations[edit]
- Morph M395B: DMR with Morph sight. The Morph sight has demonstrated enhanced acquisition speed against targets exhibiting Flood signatures.
- Recon M395B: DMR with Recon sight. Marine Force Recon configuration that emphasizes ease of handling and mid-range accuracy.
- Sentinel M395B: DMR with Sentinel sight. Precision configuration with variable-zoom 4×/6× optics, used by unaugmented UNSC snipers.
- Hybrid M395B: DMR with Hybrid sight. This variant is an improvised configuration used by Swords of Sanghelios warriors on joint patrols.
- COG M395B: DMR with COG sight. Increasingly popular configuration offered for sale in civilian markets on the frontier.
M395B attachments[edit]
- Long barrel: Increases range of bullet magnetism and aim assist.
- Laser targeter: Increases weapon accuracy by reducing bullet spread.
- Silencer: Firing the weapon does not make the user show up on enemy radar. However, walking still gives away the user's position.
- Stabilization jets: Helps control vertical recoil.
- Kinetic bolts: Augments knockback and damage against vehicles.
- Energy bayonet: Increases melee damage and range, allowing for a one-hit kill against normal opponents.
- Knight blade: Increases melee effectiveness, with extra damage and knockback against vehicles.
- Extended magazine: Increases both ready and reserve ammunition capacity by 66.7%.
- Threat marker: Tracks targeted enemy personnel for a short time.
- Sound dampener: Increases effective range and reduces firing signature.
- TACSI 3x optics module[4]
Operational history[edit]
The M395B DMR was introduced to replace the regular M395 in Spartan Operations service. It became a favourite with Spartan strike teams.[1] The M395B was utilised by Jameson Locke and his team during operations on Sedra and on Alpha Shard.[4]
