The M395 Designated Marksman Rifle, commonly known as the DMR, is a UNSC rifle used after the Human-Covenant war.

Design DetailsEdit

The M395 DMR is a gas-operated, magazine-fed, marksman rifle that maintains a smart-linked, telescopic, rail-mounted sight for scout personnel. This rifle favors from mid-range to long-range combat, offering impressive stopping power.^[3]

Changes from the M392 DMREdit

• Magazine size has been decreased from 15 to 14 rounds.
• Maximum ammunition has been increased from 60 to 84 rounds, with the Ammo Package.
• New reloading sound.
• New firing sound.
• The scope and ammo counter both appear lighter green.
• The ammo counter number appears in black instead of blue.
• A thumbhole stock has been added.
• A longer barrel has been added.
• A muzzle brake has been added.
• The flashlight has been removed from the barrel.
• The handle guard is now more curved.

TriviaEdit

• The ammo counter appears to be a part of the scope, unlike the M392 from Halo: Reach, where the ammo counter was integrated into the rifle.
• Its scope, like most Halo 4 weapons, has a square EOTech look to it.
• Like the BR85HB SR Battle Rifle, the DMR is capable of killing an opponent with five shots if the last round is a headshot.
• 343 Industries has stated that balancing the DMR with the BR was a challenge since there has not been more than one weapon belonging to the same faction per game.^{[citation needed]}
• In an early version of Halo 4, the M395 DMR had 15 rounds per magazine, just like what the M392 DMR had from Halo: Reach. In the final game, it was decreased to 14 rounds for balancing reasons.
• In gameplay, the blueprint shows the M392 DMR, instead of the M395 DMR.
