The SRS99 entered service with the [[UNSC Army]] in [[2460]]. Due to its modularity and ongoing manufacturer support, the SRS99 was adopted by the other Armed Forces branches in [[2521]].<ref name="bnet-Reach">[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=ordnance&cid=24581 '''Bungie.net''': ''Sniper Rifle System 99'']</ref> By [[2557]] at least three production series were in service: the original, the Series 2, and the Series 5. | The SRS99 entered service with the [[UNSC Army]] in [[2460]].

Though introduced during the [[Insurrection]], the SRS99's best known use was against [[Covenant]] forces during their [[Human-Covenant War|war with humanity]]; it proved invaluable in eliminating most personnel types, (from [[Unggoy|Grunts]] to [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]]), from long-to-extreme range. It was later found to be generally effective against [[Promethean]] constructs during the [[First Battle of Requiem|first]] and [[Second Battle of Requiem|second conflicts]] on [[Requiem]] in 2557 and [[2558]]. | Though introduced during the [[Insurrection]], the SRS99's best known use was against [[Covenant]] forces during their [[Human-Covenant War|war with humanity]]; it proved invaluable in eliminating most personnel types, (from [[Unggoy|Grunts]] to [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]]), from long-to-extreme range.
