The MAR-10 is a powerful marksman weapon used by CTRG forces. This semi-automatic rifle is chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum. With its 66 cm long barrel and 4.4 kg weight, MAR-10 isn't easy to handle, but high power and extreme precision with effective range up to 1700 m compensate it.
The MAR-10 is a .338 marksman rifle used by both CTRG sharpshooters and in limited numbers with Mediterranean NATO forces in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the Marksmen DLC.
Performance-wise, the MAR-10's damage output is somewhat underwhelming at close and medium ranges due to using a smaller-sized cartridge compared to its CSAT counterpart (8.6 mm versus 9.3 mm). Consequently, the MAR-10 has a better ballistics model as it retains much of its power regardless of distance.[CfgAm 1] This is in stark contrast to the Cyrus' 9.3 mm round, which suffers from a significant damage and velocity drop-off for targets beyond 700 metres.
When it comes to accuracy, the MAR-10 is fairly precise and can be used to take out targets at ranges of up to 1,000 metres with little-to-no dispersion. In that aspect, it is almost on par (though not quite the same) with sniper rifles like the M320 LRR, making it perfectly suited for use in sniper engagements as opposed to just short/medium-range firefights.
Ironsights[]
The MAR-10 allows for a minimum zeroing of 100 metres up to a maximum of 600 metres (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600).[CfgWp 11] By default, it is set to a zeroing of 200 metres.[CfgWp 12] Neither the front nor rear sight are illuminated.
If an optical sight with a zeroing limit greater than 600 metres is attached onto the top rail (e.g. LRPS), the MAR-10 will allow for an absolute maximum zeroing of 2,000 metres.[CfgWp 13]

Trivia[]
The MAR-10 is inspired by the real-world "Bad News" rifle designed by Noreen Firearms[2], an outdoor/sporting goods company based in the state of Montana, U.S.A.
It is also fitted with a custom-designed stock, and what appears to be a front handguard inspired by the (now-defunct) War Sport "LVOA" rifle[3] complete with a "Top Hat" compensator.[4]
Unlike most DMRs in its class, the MAR-10 is only capable of semi-automatic fire.
When the Marksmen DLC was first released the MAR-10 was much heavier to wield, though this was reduced after Game Update 1.64.[5]

Pre-release promotional artwork for the Marksmen DLC showed an additional scheme that used a woodland camouflage pattern in the same style as the one available on the Mk-I EMR. This unique scheme is not available in the release version of the DLC's assets, however.
Two other schemes were also (presumably) intended for inclusion: a "Khaki" derivative that uses an olive green finish, as well as an alternate Dazzle pattern with thinner and sharper geometric shapes. As with woodland camouflage, both schemes were not included in the final release for unknown reasons.
