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 details
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 mid-range to long-range combat, offering impressive stopping power. It is an evolution of the M392 DMR changes include a thumbhole stock, a longer barrel, an added muzzle break, and absence of a flashlight attached to the barrel. In addition, it holds 14 bullets in it's magazine, unlike the M392's 15.

Trivia

 * The ammo counter appears to be a part of the scope, unlike the M392 from Halo: Reach, where the ammo counter was integrated with the rifle.
 * The M395 DMR has triangles similar to the ones featured on the BR55HB SR but with 14 triangles. This is a possible reference to Bungie's favorite number - 7 (i.e. 14/2=7).
 * Its scope, like most Halo 4 weapons, has a square EOTech look to it.
 * The rifle is capable of killing an opponent with five shots if the last bullet 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 per function per faction per game.
