HR: UNSC Weapons - Designated Marksman Rifle (M392)

Basic description: a.k.a. "DMR." Semi-automatic scoped precision weapon. 12 round magazine, max 48 rounds total. Headshot capable, medium recoil, very accurate. Very similar to the Battle Rifle from Halo 3. Can be a phase 2 or 3 loadout in Invasion gametypes.

NEW FOR HALO REACH: Brand new in Reach.  Fires one round at a time unlike 3 round bursts for the BR.  Bullets are "instant-hit" instead of "real-time travel over distance."  This means you hit when you shoot, regardless of range, no need to lead targets anymore.

Restrictions: Suffers from significant reticle bloom, so shots must be spaced out to maintain accuracy.

Uses: Medium to long range. Used alone, kills with 4 body shots and 1 head shot. Superior to pistol at range due to better accuracy. Good for killing jet pack players.

Best for: BR players from Halo 3. Players that like to hang back and get headshot kills. Anti-sniper.
