==Yes it's a BR...==
[[File:HR-BRvariant.JPG]]

For those who still doubt that the weapon is, in fact, a part of the BR55 family, I give you this: I have here the new rifle compared to a Halo Custom Edition rendition of the H2 BR55 battle rifle with the railings set to transparent. Now obviously there are a few differences, but even a five year old could see that these are very similar guns. So I would say that it's fair to say yes, this is indeed a battle rifle. There are certainly a variety of visual upgrades (notches, scratches, levers and such), but there's also some new additions such as an M6-like trigger guard, grooved pistol grip, altered off-hand grip, different scope, and iron sights. All in all, I can't wait for this new weapon.

To argue FatalSnipe117's argument, both the Assault Rifles AND the BRs seen in previous Halo games have ammo readouts. Just saying.

Also, now that the leaked screens of the fp view of this gun can now be considered legit, I think we should also consider the source's other information regarding the weapon; namely the 12-round clip and the weapon's single shot capabilities. Maybe add a trivia bullet that says that the gun is rumored to have these features?--[[User talk:Nerfherder1428|Nerfherder1428]] 00:46, December 30, 2009

:Where are people getting the idea that the BR55 wasn't around before Halo 2? Just because it isn't in the game doesn't mean it didn't exist in the universe. Just like loads of other stuff introduced later with no previous mentions, like the Hornets or the Spartan Laser. Those weren't in Halo 1 or 2, yet people didn't have that much of a trouble accepting them in H3. Besides, the Battle Rifle's prototype was around in 2525, and it was in full-fledged use by 2535 during the events of The Cole Protocol.

:It's the same weapon, just minor design differences. The receivers on both weapons look almost exactly the same, and appear to take the same magazines. The new one appears to have something similar to a Picatinny rail to mount sights on, as opposed to the carrying handle on the BR55 and BR55HB. From what I can tell on that pic, the new rifle lacks a padded handguard, and features a more M6-like pistol grip, a front sight assembly, and a slightly different design on the flash suppressor. Other than those minor differences (most of which are aesthetic and won't affect the functionality of the weapon too drastically), it's pretty much the same.

:Just noticed also: the BR55 is air-cooled. (I'm assuming that's what those holes above the handguards are for - I'd have to take a closer look to be sure). The new one does not appear to have that design. <b>[[User:Smoke.|<span style="color:#770000; font-weight:bold; font-family:Tahoma Small Cap">Smoke</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Smoke.|<span style="color:#770000; font-weight:bold; font-family:Tahoma Small Cap">Sound off!</span>]]</sup></b> 04:05, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

I see this as just another variant. I apologize if I caused confusion. I meant to say above that yes, this is a battle rifle but NOT a BR55 itself.

Battle rifle is actual a class of fire arm, refering to a large caliber long range rifle that is just below the Oficial "rifle" status. essentully a not quite sniper weapon. this being a designated marksman rifle, and being obviously smaller than a sniper rifle, it would half to be a battle riffle. but it wouldn't necissarly mean apart of the BR55 series. I don't think its a BR55 but a close cousin of it.[[User talk:Laghing rabt|Laghing rabt]] 04:07, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

:Actually, as seen from the picture, it can be seen to definitely retain elements from the BR55, thus implying that its maker incorporated several key elements (the stock, the main body, the siding, and the hand rail) into this new product. I did not state that it was probably in a BR55 series (the BR55 is '''one '''product, '''one '''gun out of presumably many models in the BR family), but likely a product of the BR family of battle rifles (of which the BR55 is also a member). I'm not talking about the term "battle rifle" but rather the designation, BR, given by Misriah to this series of rifles like a brand name.

BR obviusly refers to battle riffle, thus putting it into the class since we can't actually messure it. and I don't care what the weapons called, Ill call it by the class becuase its short and easy, if its a DMR or a BR55 I'm going to call them both battle riffle. I don't call weapons MA5C or MA5K unless there both in the same map, in whih case that would be to avoid confusion. it was likly origianly called battle riffle becuase it was easy to say and grasp.

Don't you think 12 is too small for a rifle? I think only WWII-era battle rifles have clip sizes that large.

== Delay ==

Is it me, or is there a significant, noticeable, very annoying, [[Team SWAT]]-ruining delay between pressing RT and having the DMR actually shoot a bullet?

No, I am not referring to the delay needed between shots to allow the [[reticule]] to contract. Yes, I've confirmed that it's ''not'' [[lag]]. Yes, my friends (who are freaking pro, trust me) have also noticed the delay. Yes, I know that's not a reliable or verifiable source to cite.

On a somewhat related note, ~80% of the players I've seen in Team SWAT immediately switch to their Magnums upon respawning, and never switch to the DMR, preferring to futilely attempt to [[melee]] their assailants rather than switch to the Dreaded Mess Rifle.

Regardless of my (obviously negative) opinion on the matter, if there is a delay, it should be documented. <span style="background:#ADA;display:inline-block;height:16px;padding-right:4px;line-height:1em;position:relative;top:-3px;-moz-border-radius:0 50% 50%"><b>&nbsp;[[User:DavidJCobb|<span style="color:#000;position:relative;top:.15em">DavidJCobb&nbsp;</span>]]</b></span> 20:12, May 7, 2010 (UTC)

Also, just some food for thought, it says "7.62mm Gas Operated AR" on the rifle's side.

I find it is very similar to the Modern day F88 Austeyr (Steyr AUG). Although with a lot more recoil. [[User:Honor Guard Reborn|<span style="color:Blue">DarkbelowHGR</span>]] [[User talk:Honor Guard Reborn|<span style="color:green">CommbandD</span>]] 18:27, 7 January 2011 (EST)

Uh, no. the gun you're talking about is vastly differet in looks and function, for many reasons.

1.It has a black metal frame as opposed to the Steyr's gray plastic body.

2.It is intended to function as a marksman's weapon as opposed to a standard-issue assault rifle.

3.The DMR's magazine fits flush into the stock, which is trapezoidal. The Steyr has an entirely different shape, and its magazine is a curved, transparent, ridged, plastic, and does not fit flush into the stock.

4.The Austeyr is made by Steyr, whereas the DMR has "Armalite MG" stamped on the side. Armalite is the company that originally employed the Canadian born Eugene Stoner who invented the AR-15 before the design was sold to Colt. In addition, Armalite was a subsidiary of Fairchild Aircraft, which designed and produced the near-indestructable A-10 Thunderbolt II, more widely known as the Warthog.

== Details on M392 DMR body/barrel.. ==

Hey, I don't know if the rest of you people noticed this, but on the body/barrel of the M392 DMR it says "''M45A771B''". It appeared on both the developmental model and on the final model of the M392 DMR. I have no idea what it means, but I was wondering if any of you might know, or have information that should shared, perhaps in the article's trivia section? So, any thoughts or ideas? --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 18:06, 27 October 2012 (EDT)Xamikaze330

::But I'd like to know why it was put there, and what was the reason for doing it? --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 21:37, 27 October 2012 (EDT)Xamikaze330

:::Apparently Bungie saw fit to put it on the handguard, optic, and the optic mount - why those last two even have a serial number is a mystery, as they are not integral parts of the firearm itself, nor are they regulated as firearms. However, if you ever handle a real firearm that was manufactured after 1968 (I think), you will notice these numbers and letters on the firearm - that is the serial number. They are usually found on the receiver or the frame of the firearm in question. One of my pistols has it on the frame. My AR-15s have them on the left side of the lower receiver, beneath the manufacturer, model, and caliber. I have a revolver that has the serial on the bottom of the grip. Point being, the random numbers and letters are there as a touch of realism. <b>[[User:Smoke.|<span style="color:Gray; font-weight:bold; font-family:Tahoma Small Cap">Smoke</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Smoke.|<span style="color:Gray; font-weight:bold; font-family:Tahoma Small Cap">Sound off!</span>]]</sup></b> 22:59, 27 October 2012 (EDT)

::::Oh, well that makes sense. I guess it's not really that important that we add it to the article's trivia section. --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 23:06, 27 October 2012 (EDT)Xamikaze330

== Sevine Arms variant trivia ==

As per lore currently available it is not stated wherether their variant was conceived as per license agreement with Misriah Armoury or is simply a copy made through reverse-engineering, it is only stated that "Bandit" variant is roughly similar in quality of production. Since Gao is former Earth colony that now has pretty strong pro-independence (and anti-UNSC) sentiment latter version is pretty much possible.--[[Special:Contributions/178.70.18.73|178.70.18.73]] 15:17, September 26, 2023 (EDT)
