The M392 served as a replacement to the older [[M295 DMR]], also manufactured by Misriah,{{Ref/Anthology|Id=Oasis|HFra|Oasis}} and saw widespread adoption across many branches of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC Armed Forces]], including the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]], [[UNSC Army|Army]] and [[UNSC Air Force|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,{{Ref/Reuse|Waypoint2021}} 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.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Twitter2023}}
