The CMR-76 is a 6.5 mm bullpup designated marksman rifle used exclusively by Pacific CSAT forces in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the Apex DLC.
Overview
The CMR-76 is a gas operated designated marksman rifle with a short-stroke piston that is chambered to fire cased 6.5×39 mm ammunition.
It loads from 20-round magazines, and can attain a fire rate of up to 652 rounds per minute with a muzzle velocity of 980 m/s. It supports top rail accessories and muzzle-fitted suppressors. It cannot be fitted with any flashlights or laser pointers, and eschews the need to mount underbarrel attachments as it uses an integral bipod.

Suppressed CMR-76 fitted with a Kahlia riflescope, all furnished with an Arid Hexacam camouflage finish.
The CMR-76 provides the operator with the ability to provide great sniper fire cover. It can be effectively used to suppress enemies with precision accuracy at distances of up to ~ 790 metres. It weighs the same as its NATO counterpart but is more accurate at medium-long ranges and has less recoil.
The main downside to the CMR-76 stem from its relatively small magazine capacity, which contains only twenty rounds versus the MXM's thirty or even a hundred if loaded with the MX SW's stacked magazines.
Furthermore, unlike most marksman rifles it is limited to a semi-automatic fire mode only. When it comes to attachment options, the CMR-76 only allows for sound suppressors and optical sights to be fitted. Due to the lack of a side rail, it isn't possible to mount a laser pointer or flashlight onto the weapon.

Trivia
- The CMR-76 is directly based on the real-world "QBU-88" designed by the China North Industries Corporation (NORINCO) for use by the People's Liberation Army.
- Although portrayed as the service DMR of Pacific CSAT forces, the CMR-76 (along with the CAR-95 series) uses an incorrect naming nomenclature despite the fact that other weapons like the Type 115 are designated correctly.
- The correct designation for the CMR-76 would actually be Type 88-1 (not to be confused with the real North Korean-made "Type 88" assault rifle used by the Korean People's Army). The -1 suffix would be to designate that it is a further modernised and improved variant of the existing QBU-88.
- Curiously, it is also the only 6.5 mm-chambered firearm which fires cased ammunition rather than caseless.
- The information below details unused, pre-release or removed content.
- Prior to Apex's official release, teaser previews showed a large compensator installed on the CMR-76's muzzle. Though the reason remains unclear, it was eventually removed by the development team once Apex neared release.
