DMR? Designated Marksmen Rifle? That is either one of two situations:
1. A platoon so well equipped it has a DMR, and the 'crack' shot of the platoon gets the privilege of having it. Usually an old M14, or an 'acquired' M24!
2. The crack shot of the platoon gets the improved scope and night sight to fit his weapon, and he is designated the DMR.
Many armies have different variants of many types of weapons, and usually somebody will have a weapon that is unusual. But, that makes it normal! A fire team of dismounts equipped with M4 would consider an M16A2 a DMR. Whereas a M16A2 squad would consider the "Colt" designated SDM a DMR..And on it goes.
But me tinks you are referencing the L86 LSW.
