The M99 Stanchion was used by [[Corporal]] [[Avery J. Johnson]] during [[Operation: KALEIDOSCOPE]], who used the weapon to assassinate [[Jerald Mulkey Ander]], a member of the [[Secessionist Union]] from a significant distance. He used another M99 Stanchion during [[Operation: TREBUCHET]] on [[Tribute]] to kill an [[Insurrectionist]] terrorist driving a truck rigged as an explosive, and attempted to use it to neutralize a second terrorist inside a nearby restaurant, the [[Jim Dandy]]. His first target was successfully killed and torn apart by the force. The second target, who was holding a boy as hostage, killed herself with a bomb she had hidden in the restaurant, along with three special warfare Marines and thirty-two civilians.<ref name="CH"/>

It was also used by ODST snipers on Charybdis IX in support of Lieutenant Keyes after an ONI undercover op with Insurrectionists turned sour, leading to a full scale riot force on their hands. Insurrectionists armed with RPG launchers made an effective anti-air screen, killing Jeffries on his approach. When ODST forces arrived as backup, two snipers with the M99 (SRS 99) dropped with them and neutralised the enemy RPG sites with a decoy Pelican (The Cole Protocol page 134 - "the sound of an SRS 99 carried over the rooftop")
