The Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti-Matériel, abbreviated SRS99D-S2 AM,[2] and shortened to 99-D,[4] is an anti-personnel weapon system used by the United Nations Space Command.[2] It is produced by Misriah Armory as part of its SRS99 Series.[1]
Overview
Specifications
- Main article: SRS99 Series
The SRS99D-S2 AM is a semi-automatic sniper rifle that fires 14.5×114mm APFSDS rounds from a 4-round magazine. It is, alongside its primary Covenant counterpart, the Type-50 particle beam rifle, the most accurate and arguably the most powerful small-arms weapon in either arsenal.
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.
Development History
It was developed by Misriah Armory, with a line of them being manufactured on Mars.[1]
