The DMR takes one more trigger pull to kill than the [[BR85HB battle rifle|battle rifle]], | The DMR takes one more trigger pull to kill than the [[BR85HB battle rifle|battle rifle]], while also possessing a slightly slower kill time. However, due to its semi-auto fire mode, 3× scope magnification, and lack of muzzle climb, the DMR is more effective at longer ranges. This makes it much more desirable on larger maps with open sightlines. The DMR falls short of the [[Z-250 lightrifle|LightRifle]]'s long range effectiveness, but is still somewhat flexible at medium and close ranges and has a larger magazine by 2 shots. Arguably, this makes the DMR one of the most utilitarian weapons in ''Halo 4''. | ||

* As with the M392 DMR in ''Halo: Reach'', the M395 erroneously ejects spent [[M634 Experimental High-Powered Semi-Armor-Piercing|M634 X-HP-SAP]] shell casings rather than the M118 7.62×51mm round it actually uses. In addition, the weapon's in-game model lacks an ejection port. In ''Halo 5: Guardians'', this continues to be the case with the M395B, though the model has been given an ejection port. On a related note, the [[BR85 battle rifle|BR85N]] now ironically ejects the M118 shell casings that should belong to the DMR. | |||
* The UNSC ''Infinity'' Briefing Packet erroneously states that the M395 uses a fifteen-round magazine.{{Ref/Reuse|brief}} While this is true of the M392, the M395 carries fourteen rounds. However, a variant of the M395, the M395B, does use a fifteen-round magazine. It's likely the Briefing Packet was based on earlier builds of ''Halo 4'', where the M395 had a fifteen-round magazine, and the removal of one round was a later alteration to the game. | |||
===Production notes=== | |||
* In the final release version of ''Halo 4'', the HUD icon for the M395 is actually that of the M392 DMR from ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. Ironically, some pre-release screenshots of the game show a different HUD icon depicting the correct version of the weapon, albeit lacking the front sight. ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' would also lack the proper HUD and post-game scoreboard icon for the weapon. | * In the final release version of ''Halo 4'', the HUD icon for the M395 is actually that of the M392 DMR from ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.
