The MDR (Micro Dynamic Rifle) is a family of autoloading bullpup rifles designed by Desert Tech (formerly Desert Tactical Arms) in 2014. A second generation version of the rifle is marketed as the MDRX (an acronym for micro dynamic rifle eXtreme). In 2018 a military version of the MDR, the NGSAR, was submitted, but was not one of the finalists in the United States Army Next Generation Squad Weapon Program trials to replace standard issue US army Infantry Weapons.

The MDR's first public debut was in 2014 at Shot Show and was discontinued on January 18, 2024, right before Shot Show.
