==Overview==
===Design===
{{Main|SRS99 Series}}
The SRS99D-S2 AM is a powerful, semi-automatic sniper rifle chambered in the [[14.5×114mm|14.5×114mm cartridge]], generally firing APFSDS (armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding-sabot) ammunition.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC325}} The optic mounted on the weapon is capable of x5 and x10 magnification.{{Ref/Game|Id=H3|H3|Detail=Gameplay}}

In profile, the SRS99D-S2 AM bears clear resemblance to the [[SRS99C-S2 AM]], sharing its smooth and simplistic design. The weapon's finish is matte grey. The charging handle is located on the left side of the weapon, a metallic-coloured rounded protrusion, and expended casings are ejected on the right. The stock is solid, and not connected with the pistol group as in some SRC99C-S2 AM rifles. A metal guard projects out from the underside of the weapon, over where it is gripped for firing. As in the SRS99C-S2, a square carrying-handle is located in front of and over the scope.{{Ref/Reuse|H3}}

===Performance===
The SRS99D-S2 AM is effective out to 4,920&nbsp;ft (1,500 metres), and has the capacity to eliminate targets in a single shot.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC325}} According to [[Roland Huffman|Major Roland Huffman]], a retired [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC marine]] with experience as a sniper, a shot fired from this weapon could penetrate "about 13 feet of flesh and bone" when fired from a distance of 600 yards.{{Ref/Reuse|Enemy}} Recoil is not considered a significant issue when employing this weapon, and its high rate of fire and ergonomic reloading process mitigate the limited capacity of the 4-round detachable box magazines utilized with it.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC325}}

===Development History===
[[File:HaloArmsRace4.JPG|thumb|220px|SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifles being assembled at [[Misriah Armory]] on [[Mars]].]]
The SRS99D-S2 AM was developed by [[Misriah Armory]], with a line of them being manufactured on [[Mars]].{{Ref/Reuse|HLa}}{{Ref/Reuse|HAR}}

===Usage===
These rifles were notably employed by the [[UNSC]] in the latter stages of the [[Battle of Earth]], including by [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] [[T. Rymann|Corporal T. Rymann]] during the [[Battle of Sector Six]].{{Ref/Film|Id=HLa|Film=HLa}}{{Ref/Reuse|H3}} These weapons played a role in the [[Battle of Installation 00]] as well, with [[John-117]] deploying with one during landfall in the [[Battle of Installation 00]].{{Ref/Level|H3|The Ark (level)|The Ark}} In [[2553#January|January, 2553]] on [[New Llanelli]], during one of [[Kilo-Five]]'s weapon transactions with [[Avu Med 'Telcam]], [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] [[Malcolm Geffen|Staff Sergeant Malcolm Geffen]] was positioned on a ridge to cover the transaction, armed with an SRS99D-S2 AM.{{Ref/Reuse|HGC5}}

===Legacy===
At least two of these rifles were kept in the "Weapon room" of the [[Museum of Humanity]].<ref name="Enemy">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz_7WWO8lXE ''Youtube'', Halo: 3 Belive: Enemy Weapon]</ref>

==In-game information==
{{Main
|1=Sniper_Rifle#Halo_3_and_Halo_3:_ODST
|l1=Sniper Rifle
}}
The Sniper Rifle is a [[Precision weapon|precision]] [[power weapon]], which fires highly damaging projectiles at near instantaneous speeds. It features two levels of zoom, and a magazine of 4 rounds. This makes it a powerhouse at long ranges, capable of killing most enemies, including enemy players in multiplayer, with one headshot, and outranging other weapons like the [[Battle Rifle]] significantly. To compensate for its power, it is a relatively rare weapon, and ammo for it is difficult to find.

==Production notes==
The SRS99D originally had a ''Trinity'' and ''Marathon'' symbol on the weapon's right side of the stock and on top of the magazine well on both sides respectively. However, the Trinity symbol was removed sometime before the March 8th, 2007 build (Also known as the Delta build).{{Ref/YouTube|Id=Pimps|kV0Z6RKevbw|The Vengeful 'Vadam |Full Analysis of the Halo 3 "Pimps At Sea" Alpha|T=1219}} While the SRS99D's in-game model had its cyan "trinity" emblem removed, it was shown with this symbol in ''Halo: Landfall''.

The ''Marathon'' symbol would remain until its removal sometime before the [[Halo 3 Beta]], being replaced with the letter W.{{Ref/Reuse|Pimps}}
