M395 Designated Marksman Rifle

The M395 Designated Marksman Rifle, commonly known as the DMR, is a UNSC rifle used after the Human-Covenant war.
==Design==
The M395 DMR is a gas-operated, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, shoulder-fired marksman's rifle that is equipped with a smart-linked, telescopic, rail-mounted sight for scout personnel. This rifle favors mid- to long-ranged combat, offering impressive stopping power over a long distance.GameInformer - The Arsenal Of Halo 4

==Trivia==
*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.
*In an early version of Halo 4 and the UNSC Infinity Briefing Packet, the M395 DMR had 15 rounds per magazine, just like the M392 DMR from Halo: Reach, but in the final game, this was reduced to 14 rounds for balancing reasons.
*In gameplay, the blueprint shows the M392 DMR instead of the M395 DMR.
*In Halo: Nightfall, the DMR was capable of firing in 3 round bursts, a feat impossible in gameplay as it is a single shot weapon.
