M392 DMR: Difference between revisions

Line 35:

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 reticule 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 reticule 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 reticule to contract at all, and it is most effective to fire the rifle as fast as possible.

===Developmental History===

Although it saw more widespread use throughout all branches of the UNSC prior to [[2548]], it had since been superseded in use by the [[BR55 Battle Rifle]] in all military branches of the [[UNSCDF]] but the [[UNSC Army|Army]].

==='''Combat Usage'''===

The DMR is the newest and most coveted weapon in the UNSC arsenal. The 3x zoom, moderate magazine size, and rate of fire combine to fill the gap in the UNSC's armory between the [http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/MA5B Assault Rifle] and [http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Sniper_Rifle_System_99_Anti-Mat%C3%A9riel Sniper Rifle] . The DMR gives users of all skill levels the power and accuracy needed to target enemies where the damage could be most severe - in the head. The DMR is most effective against delicate material and less so against heavily armored or shielded foes. Though the DMR's 15 round magazine capacity is sufficient for individual encounters, the user must remember to reload after every encounter. The other drawback to use the DMR is the limited amount of ammunition found on the battlefield. The majority of UNSC Troopers currently rely on the [http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/MA37_Individual_Combat_Weapon_System Assault Rifle] , thus scavenging ammo for the DMR is less reliable. UNSC weapon racks are the most reliable source of ammo.
