Were you looking for the DMR in Halo: Reach?''

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, 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.

Trivia

 * 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.
 * 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.
 * The weapon tuning update on 6/03/13 decreased the red reticle range of this weapon somewhat.
