M395 DMR

The M395 Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) is a gas-operated designated marksman rifle designed by Misriah Armory and used by the UNSC Defense Force. 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. It is primarily used by light infantry scouts requiring powerful, long-range precision.

Multiplayer
The DMR has the same kill time and shots to kill as the Battle Rifle; 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. On large maps, if a player wants to use something more reliable at close range than the Lightrifle, the DMR is a good choice as well.

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.
