The M392 Designated Marksman Rifle was adopted into service in [[2512]], serving as the primary weapon of Army squad marksmen and reconnaissance units (presumably replacing the [[Insurrection]]-era [[M295 DMR]]). The weapon also found use with the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] and [[UNSC Air Force|Air Force]] combat rescue teams during the Insurrection and much of the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Site|Id=WP15|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/dmr|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=DMR|D=30|M=08|Y=2021}} However, it was largely superseded by the [[BR55 battle rifle]], especially following the introduction of the BR55's [[BR55HB battle rifle|heavy-barreled variant]] in [[2548]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|WP13}}{{Ref/Reuse|Bnet}}

*'''M392 Bandit Rifle''': Manufactured by [[Sevine Arms]] under a license from [[Misriah Armory]], the Bandit Rifle is the standard-issue weapon for both the [[Gao]] and [[Venezia|Venezian]] militias. Two unique elements of this weapons design are the lack of the EVOS-D scope seen on the base M392 DMR and the [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili (language)|markings]] seen near the butt of the weapon.{{Ref/Twitter|Id=BanditTweet|Halo|1631700982101835792|Halo|Quote=A fine scalpel for mid-range combat, the M392 Bandit is greatly favored by militia groups on independent colonies and bears Sangheili markings that xenolinguistic experts have enjoyed decoding. #FictionFriday|D=03|M=03|Y=2023}} These weapons have made their way into the ex-Covenant sphere as far as the colony world of [[Karava]], wherein they are used by Sangheili mercenaries such as [[Zef 'Trahl]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CFEchoes|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-echoes-with-dinh|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Echoes With Dinh|D=24|M=03|Y=2023}}

===Advantages===

The DMR is a very precise weapon that fires hitscan projectiles, allowing it to engage targets well outside the range of other weapons. It also has considerable stopping power, making it effective against nearly all Covenant infantry, shielded or unshielded. The DMR is unparalleled in neutralizing unshielded enemies, as a single headshot is always fatal. This leads the M392 to be a weapon of choice against Covenant personnel that lack energy shielding such as [[Unggoy|Grunts]], [[Kig-Yar|Jackals]], [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]], and [[Yanme'e|Drones]]. It is deadly at very long range thanks to its hitscan properties, And can kill just as efficiently at close range. A melee followed by a headshot can dispose of an enemy in seconds.

===Disadvantages===
