SRS99-S5 AM sniper rifle

The Sniper Rifle System 99-Series 5 Anti-Matériel, abbreviated SRS99-S5 AM, is a gas-operated anti-material sniper rifle used by the United Nations Space Command. The S5 model was designed and manufactured by Misriah Armory.

Design details
The SRS99-S5 AM is a semi-automatic, gas-operated sniper rifle that fires 14.5mm x 114mm APFSDS rounds from a 4-round magazine. It is, alongside its primary Covenant counterpart, the Type-27 Special Application Sniper Rifle, the most accurate and arguably the most powerful small-arms weapon in either arsenal.

It is a successor to the S2 variants used throughout the Human-Covenant War by the UNSC Navy and Marine Corps. The S5 model incorporates many features seen on the older SRS99 rifle used in large numbers by the Army.

Changes from Sniper Rifle System 99 Anti-Matériel in Halo: Reach

 * Firing sound and reload animations changed (firing the rifle has an almost metallic sound, as opposed to Reach's loud "crack".)
 * Spare ammunition reduced from 20 rounds to 16 (without Ammo)
 * Reticle bloom reduced marginally.

Trivia

 * The maximum range for the scope's rangefinder is 343 meters.
 * The SRS99-S5 was used as a placeholder for the sniper rifle in Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer before being replaced by the Halo: Reach SRS99.
