The SRS99D-S2 AM is a [[wikipedia:Semi-automatic rifle|semi-automatic]] sniper rifle that fires [[14.5×114mm|14.5×114mm APFSDS]] rounds from a 4-round magazine.

The SRS99D has some notable changes from the [[SRS99C]] models. First off, it is fitted with a 5× and 10× optic that shows realtime images in infrared vision when not looking through it. When looking through it, the scope shows a target's distance and elevation. The SRS99D also has an altered foregrip and stock as well as an altered body and sports a trigger guard. The barrel also now has an iron sight. This weapon does not possess a safety and has a frame that serves as a carrying handle as well as a scope protector and a folding bipod located in front of the magazine on the underside of the rifle.
