(Previous edit suggested the AM-round is designed to leave a trail; I don't believe I have to elaborate on why a SNIPER RIFLE WOULD NOT DELIBERATELY MARK POSITION. That's what IR lasers are for.)
Line 67: Line 67:
The large caliber rounds make it necessary to have a small magazine size and small combat loads (28 rounds total in [[Halo:CE]] , 24 rounds in Halo 2, and 20 in Halo 3.) However, a "full combat load" was described in [[Halo: First Strike]], and in the Halo:CE level [[Truth and Reconciliation Level|Truth and Reconciliation]] you start with a Sniper Rifle that has a 68 round load, however, this is the SRS 99C-S2.

The Sniper Rifle's rounds leave behind a trail of smoke. This may be intended to act as an aiming aid for a sniper in a manner similar to a standard tracer bullet, or may be an unintentional result of the sabot's separation from the rest of the round. Another explanation could lie in the fact that the high speed of the round causes friction with the air, resulting in the round causing disturbances in the air like a larger hypersonic projectile would.

The gun strangely ejects 7.62x51mm cartridges, the same as the MA5C's, despite the two guns having different calibers.
