The SRS99-S5 AM is a semi-automatic, gas-operated [[Sniper rifle (disambiguation)|sniper rifle]] that fires [[14.5×114mm]] M232 [[Wikipedia:Armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot|armour-piercing fin-stabilising discarding sabot]] rounds from a 4-round magazine. The weapon's internals are nearly identical to that of the previous [[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle|Series 2 model]]s - key differences instead lie in the weapon's strong carrying handle, standard [[weapon attachment]] rails, and a heavily ruggedized frame.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} By default, the Series 5 is equipped with the [[Oracle scope|Oracle R-variant scope]] - featuring 4×-9× magnification and the capability to [[Smart-linking|smart-link]] with a compatible [[heads-up display]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
The SRS99-S5 AM is a semi-automatic, gas-operated [[Sniper rifle (disambiguation)|sniper rifle]] that fires [[14.5×114mm]] M232 APFSDS rounds from a 4-round magazine. It is, alongside its primary [[Covenant]] counterpart, the [[Zubo-pattern beam rifle|Type-27 Special Application Sniper Rifle]], the most accurate and arguably the most powerful small-arms weapon in either arsenal.


Despite being a widely-used rifle in the post-war conflicts, the Series 5 was primarily developed and intended for use by augmented human personnel such as those of [[Spartan Operations]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
It is a successor to the [[SRS99 Series#Known models|S2]] variants used throughout the [[Human-Covenant War]] by the [[UNSC Navy]] and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]]. The S5 model incorporates many features seen on the older SRS99 rifle used in large numbers by the [[UNSC Army|Army]]. The SRS99-S5 AM is intended for use by [[Human augmentation|augmented]] personnel of the [[UNSC Armed Forces]]. The sniper features a very strong carrying handle, standard [[weapon attachment]] rails, and a heavily ruggedized frame.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/sniper-rifle '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Sniper Rifle'']</ref> The SRS99 is equipped with the [[Oracle R-variant scope]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=170}}
