A designated marksman rifle (DMR) is the weapon used by soldiers in the designated marksman (DM) role. The DM's role fills the gap between a regular infantryman and a sniper (typically being deployed at ranges of 250–500 metres or 270–550 yards) and DMRs have been developed with this middle ground in mind.
These rifles have to be effective, in terms of accuracy and terminal ballistics, at ranges exceeding those of ordinary assault rifles and battle rifles (typically 250m or 270yd or less, and up to 500m or 550yd, respectively) but do not require the extended range of a dedicated sniper rifle (typically employed for targets at ranges from 500–2,000m or 550–2,190yd).
DMRs, however, often share some basic characteristics with sniper rifles in difference to the weapons carried by others in the DMs unit. DMRs may have an attached telescopic sight, quickly deployed stabilizing bipod to allow optimized accuracy and low-recoil in temporarily fixed situations or an adjustable stock.
The designated marksman (DM) or squad designated marksman (SDM) is a military marksman role in an infantrysquad. The term sniper was used in Sovietdoctrine although the soldiers using the Dragunov SVD were the first to use a specifically designed designated marksman's rifle. The analogous role in the Israeliarmy is sharpshooter.
The DM's role is to supply rapid accurate fire on enemy targets at ranges up to a maximum of 880 yards (800m) with a rifle capable of semi-automatic fire called a designated marksman rifle equipped with a telescopic sight. Like snipers, DMs are trained in quick and precise shooting, but unlike the more specialized "true" sniper, they are an intrinsic part of an infantryfireteam and intended to lay down accurate rapid fire at valuable targets as needed, thus extending the reach of the fireteam.
The growth of the DM rifle can be attributed to two main influences; the near-universal adoption of intermediate cartridges such as 5.56×45mm and 7.62×39mm for standard service rifles, and the increasing specialization over the last 15 years of Western sniper rifles and their employment of more powerful rounds such as .300 Winchester Magnum and .338 Lapua. These two influences have left a gap in the firepower of the rifle platoon that a more accurate optic-equipped service rifle derivative can usefully fulfill, especially in theaters such as Afghanistan where the shortcomings of standard 5.56mm service rifles at ranges over 300m became apparent.
