The SRS99C-S2 AM is a gas-operated, magazine-fed sniper rifle chambered in the powerful [[14.5×114mm|14.5×114mm cartridge]].<ref name="H2M">'''[[Halo 2 Manual]]''', ''page 11''</ref> Its mode of fire is semi-automatic and it is typically fed by 4-round detachable box magazines.

During [[Operation: TALON]], [[Linda-058]] deployed her SRS99C-S2 AM with an alternate barrel designed to suppress firing report and muzzle-flash and, in order to compensate for the reduced muzzle velocity that came with this, re-chambered it to fire .450-caliber ammunition. Additionally, she removed any sight or scope, instead deeming to rely on an [[Smart-link|integrated link]] between the weapon and her [[HUD]] for the close-quarters environment. She also brought a supply of extended magazines to last her the engagement.<ref name="TFoRChaper9">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''Chapter 9''</ref> She later employed the weapon in a different configuration during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]], this time with an [[Oracle N-variant scope|Oracle scope]].<ref name ="TFoRChapter20">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''''', Chapter 20''</ref> | During [[Operation: TALON]], [[Linda-058]] deployed her SRS99C-S2 AM with an alternate barrel designed to suppress firing report and muzzle-flash and, in order to compensate for the reduced muzzle velocity that came with this, re-chambered it to fire [[.450|.450-caliber ammunition]].
