Okay, we all know that these two guns differ significantly in gameplay, but realistically, they should be quite similar.
One thing that bothers me is that the DMR and AR fire the same round, 7.62 NATO, but in Reach, the DMR is obviously way more powerful, which doesn't make sense. And more muzzle velocity from a longer barrel or more gunpowder being in the 7.62 cartidges used for the DMR wouldn't be enough to compensate for this difference.
I know it's gameplay, but dang, bungie should have made the DMR fire something bigger. They also say it's full-auto outside the game, but is this canonically proven? A DMR is not supposed to be fully automatic, as it is basically a semi-automatic sniper rifle made for quick, successive shots at mid-to-long range.
I know this is nitpicking, but I'm a bit of a gun nut and a huge Halo fan, and this just didn't make sense, and I was wondering if anyone knew anything to explain this. Thanks.
