Universe and lore[edit]
- Main article: M392 DMR
Manufactured by Sevine Arms under a license from original designer Misriah Armory,[2] the M392 Bandit is a production variant of the M392 DMR, a semi-automatic rifle that first entered service with the UNSC Army in 2512.[3] It fires 7.62x51mm rounds that are fed by a detachable box magazine,[4] typically holding 15 rounds.[5] The M392 features a raised mounting rail for optics, and is commonly paired with an EVOS-D optical scope,[6] though can be used without a sight.[7] A variant of the Sevine's M392 Bandit, called the Bandit EVO, features an EVO Holopoint sight with 1.6x magnification.[8]
The M392 served as a replacement to the older M295 DMR, also manufactured by Misriah,[9] and saw widespread adoption across many branches of the UNSC Armed Forces, including the Marine Corps, Army and Air Force. It saw action during the late Insurrection and well into the Human-Covenant War, despite diminished popularity after the introduction of the BR55 battle rifle. Although its replacement, the M395 DMR, broadly supplanted it, the M392 was still in service with Army and Marine reserve units,[3] circa 2558.
The M392 is standard-issue for the Gao and Venezian militia units. The weapon has Sangheili markings, which is an indicator of Servine's work to become commonplace in the markets of former Covenant planets.[2]
