In order to deliver hits to a target at medium-to-long ranges, a pause after each shot with the DMR is required to allow the reticle to contract to its smallest possible size. Immediately firing upon reacquisition of target maintains the maximum rate of accurate fire. While at close-to-medium range, it is only necessary to allow the reticle to shrink enough that it is roughly equal to the size of the target before firing again. At extremely close ranges, it is unnecessary to allow the reticle to contract at all, and it is most effective to fire the rifle as fast as possible. | In order to deliver hits to a target at medium-to-long ranges, a pause after each shot with the DMR is required to allow the reticle to contract to its smallest possible size.

===Advantages=== | |||
The M392 is a very accurate weapon with very fast projectile speed, allowing it to engage targets well outside the range of other weapons. It also has considerable stopping power, making it effective against nearly all Covenant infantry, shielded or unshielded. The M392 DMR is unparalleled (Except for perhaps the [[M6G Magnum]] sidearm) in neutralizing unshielded enemies, requiring a single headshot to kill. This leads the M392 to be a weapon of choice against Covenant personnel that lack energy shielding such as [[Unggoy]], [[Kig-Yar]], and [[Jiralhanae]]. | |||
===Disadvantages=== | |||
Though being an accurate, long-ranged, and powerful weapon, the M392 has its drawbacks. To retain accuracy the wielder must pace their fire to account for recoil, making the DMR have a fire rate only slightly faster than the [[SRS99-AM]]. It also has a very shallow magazine, holding only 15 rounds. | |||
