Design and features

The DSR-50 is based on DSR-Precision's
earlier DSR-1, and includes modifications
necessary to fire the more powerful .50
BMG, including a hydraulic recoil buffer in
the buttstock and an innovative muzzle
attachment. This muzzle device, described
as a 'blast compensator', is a combination
sound suppressor and muzzle brake, and
is notable in its attempt at moderating the
.50 BMG's muzzle blast and recoil, unlike
contemporary large-caliber rifles, which
are typically equipped with muzzle brakes
only. Like the DSR-1, this rifle retains its
bullpup configuration, allowing a longer
barrel while retaining a shorter overall
length (OAL), which is an important
consideration for large caliber rounds such
as .50 BMG, and focuses the weapon's
balance towards the buttstock,
compensating for the muzzle's heavy
attachments standard on the DSR-50. The
DSR-50 also retains some of the DSR-1's
features, such as a top mounted bipod,
"butt spike" monopod, free-floating barrel,
fully adjustable cheekrest and buttstock,
and forward magazine holder.[2]
