*The designation of this rifle model as a "Designated Marksman Rifle" would seem to indicate that it was designed for use in squad-based combat and not as a dedicated sniping tool. Designated Marksmen function in U.S. military fire teams to provide long-range support to their teams. This contrasts with Snipers who operate in small sniper-based squads and received more specialized training. | *The designation of this rifle model as a "Designated Marksman Rifle" would seem to indicate that it was designed for use in squad-based combat and not as a dedicated sniping tool.

*Designated Marksman is a military marksman role in United States Military infantry squads, intended to provide accurate fire on a squad-level, rather than with a separate "dedicated sniper" unit. | *Designated Marksman is a military marksman role in United States Military infantry squads, intended to provide accurate fire on a squad-level, rather than with a separate "dedicated sniper" unit. | ||
*This weapon technically "first" appeared in the [[Halo 2]] demo [[Bungie]] premiered, as the original [[Battle Rifle]]. At that time in [[Halo 2]]'s development, the [[BR55 Battle Rifle]] was yet to be a burst fire weapon and was much more along the lines of the DMR. It appeared to do much more comparable damage to the DMR and lacked the visible refinement the current [[BR55 Battle Rifle]] or [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle]] had and most notably, fired single shots. | |||
