I really hate how Bungie put the DMR in Halo Reach and didn't add the BR. Some of the people I meet on XBOX Live say that the DMR is stronger then the BR but I beg to differ since the BR was a three shot when the DMR is only single shot. Which gone is better?

Bullet-wise, DMR.

Besides, the in-game shield system would have essentially transformed the BR into a DMR.

I still think that the BR is better because with the BR you could shoot as fast as you want and wouldn't loose accuracy. With the DMR you have to slow your shots down to be more accurate.

to me the DMR feels strong because of the fact that one of its bullets does roughly equal amounts on damage as 3 BR bullets (excuse my use of fairly un-technical terms), also another factor in my decision is that the DMR is capable of doing much more damage to vehicles than the BR was able to.

Thats a good point. Maybe the DMR is better.

Gameplay mechanics.

If these games were to be realistic,m the BR would probably have a worse kick than the DMR.

Halo is a game with a seven foot tall guy or girl in armor fighting aliens in space and in different planets. How the hell is this game realistic?

Besides the fact that it is actually based around current theories? Most of its fiction is actually plausible.

Yeah theories, not reality. It could happen but right now its not real.

Nontheless, the US Navy is working on rail cannons as we speak right now. In fact, their current estimates would place the active use as such on their ships within fifteen years.

Synonym to Rail Gun. MAC Cannons on the Halo ships are just over-sized versions of them.

Oh. Well the point is the BR will still be my favorite gun even though i now know that the DMR has its advantages.

I don't know. I beat several BR users with it. Not the noob kind, either.

The higher rate of fire also makes it more ideal for gametypes like Swat.

In regular Team Death Match the BR rocks.

Yeah. Team Deathmatch. Where people generally select the same target at the same time.

The only reason why the BR gets used more because its a spawning weapon.

Wrong, rail guns and MACs (or coil guns) are not the same thing. They operate on completely different principles.

Also, needle rifle FTW.

BR takes a minimum of 12 rounds(remember 3 ROUND BURST) to kill whereas the DMR takes 5 and is more accurate at range.

The carbine was actually better than the BR, assuming the user could aim.

according to cannon, the BR is quite a bit stronger than the DMR.
The DMR uses the same ammo type as the assault rifle while the BR uses experimental rounds that are quite a bit more powerful, and it shoots more.

well not according to CANON the MA37 AR probably fires regular NATO ball ammunition while the DMR likely fires high velocity Armor Piercing ammunition.
