The '''14.5x114mm''' ''[[APFSDS|Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding-Sabot]]'' bullet is used by the [[United Nations Space Command]]'s [[Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 AM]] and [[Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 AM]]s. Possibly similar to an ammunition type employed by the Soviet Union during the twentieth century, the round is employed in an anti-material role, used to damage or destroy enemy equipment and vehicles. However, thick Covenant armor, and the use of energy shields by Elites and Jackals, has caused it to take on an anti-personnel role in addition to it's anti-armor roles.<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]''</ref><ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]''</ref> | |||
