The DMR has the same trigger-pulls to kill | The M395 DMR is the successor to the [[M392 Designated Marksman Rifle|M392]] model used throughout the [[Insurrection]] and the [[Human-Covenant War]]. It reintroduces this series into the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] and the [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] after its predecessor's widespread replacement by the [[BR55 Battle Rifle|BR55 series]]. Like its predecessor, the M395 DMR is a select-fire weapon.<ref name="select-fire"/> It is primarily used by light infantry scouts requiring powerful, long-range precision.<ref name="O+A"/> | ||
== Gameplay == | |||
The DMR has the same trigger-pulls to kill as the [[BR85 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle|Battle Rifle]] but has a slightly faster kill time and longer range. This makes it much more desirable on larger maps with open sightlines. The DMR falls short of the [[Z-250 Directed Energy Engagement Weapon|Lightrifle's]] long range effectiveness, but is much more flexible at medium and close ranges. This makes the DMR one of the most utilitarian weapons in ''Halo 4''. | |||
