In comes the DMR.

DMRs are semi auto only weapons that deal much more damage than your average automatic rifle, but less damage than a sniper rifle. DMRs are medium to medium/long range weapons. One example of a DMR that is in DUST is the Scrambler Rifle and it's charged shot. A DMR should NEVER OHK a full HD enemy, which is what the ScR and its charged shot got wrong.

Now it SEEMED that these weapons were possibly going to be added to DUST, but never materialized in game.

Caldari - Gauss Rifle, charges up and shoots a powerful round, semi auto
Gallente - Plasma Lance, warms up to release a superheated lance of plasma, semi auto, can overheat
Minmatar - Precision Rifle, gas operated, semi auto
Amarr - Scrambler Rifle, charged shot, semi auto

The charge times for the rifles would be near negligible so the rifles wouldn't be bogged down by too high of "spool" times, but all DMRs would be capped at 300 RPM fire rate.

first we do have a DMR the tactical assault rifle is technically a DMR. what you want is something to fill the sniper gap(150-450m range) without the power but with more rounds per clip.

The TAC AR is NOT a DMR because its range is far too short. The TAC AR is more of a battle rifle.

As far as I remember, there was the Gallente TAR (tactical assault rifle) which was probably renamed to tactical plasma rifle. Then there is similar one for the Minmatar. Those weapons remind me of the DMR from halo. On Twitter: @HilmarVeigar #greenlightlegion #dust514 players are waiting.

Those weapons remind me of the DMR from halo. Completely forgot about the TAR. The CR isn't a DMR, it is a three round burst assault rifle similar to the M16A4 in BF4. The TAR IS set up to be DMR like but falls short because of its limited range and mediocre damage. Scrambling brains since 5/14/13

One for each race please. That is possible. Many of the classes we see in Eve Online such as Exhumers, Capital Industrials, Stealth Bombers, Dreadnaughts, and even Titans didn't exist when Eve first launched in 2003. The new classes were added slowly over time and that's something I expect from CCP for Legion. On Twitter: @HilmarVeigar #greenlightlegion #dust514 players are waiting.

Semi Automatic, less damage than a normal Sniper Rifle, but faster rate of fire. Of course its 3 shot clip prevents it from being viable with the number of brick tanked Proto Suits on the field these days. If they increased it to a 5 shot clip you might actually see some people using them. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

DMRs shouldn't have to be charged to use just semi-auto. but in all seriousness the TAR is a DMR. if ccp ever released other tactical version of the other rifles you would see the caldari being the "best" ones since DMRs are meant for distance(with the range your looking for). they didn't and propably won't since map size is too "small". the sniper rifles range of 600m is just a place marker, in legion it should have much greater range. also other race's snipers "should" come out that might have that 600m range.
