| '''.450''' is a non-standard ammunition caliber used in the [[Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 AM]]. It is considerably smaller than the standard 14.5mm rounds, but are lighter, and still capable of dealing considerable damage to a target. It was used by [[Linda-058|SPARTAN-058]] (Linda) when [[Blue Team]] captured [[Colonel Robert Watts]]. | | '''11.43mm (.450)''' is a non-standard round occasionally used in the [[SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle|Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 AM]]. It is considerably smaller and lighter than the standard 14.5×114mm round, and ostensibly still capable of dealing considerable damage to a target. This round is not the [[Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 AM|SRS-99C S2 AM rifle]]'s default chambering, as the UNSC's standard cartridge for the weapon is [[14.5×114mm]].<ref>'''[[The Art of Halo 3]]''', ''page 57''</ref> |

| This round most likely does not bear any resemblance to the .45 [[Rounds|rounds]] used by 20th and 21st century armies. This is because most .45 rounds in the 21st century are for handguns and thus do not contain enough powder for use as a sniper round. The .45 ACP, a common 21st century round, is poor at penetrating 21st century armor.
| | It was used by [[Linda-058]] when [[Blue Team]] captured [[Colonel Robert Watts]]. Linda apparently converted her rifle with an interchangeable barrel assembly in order to use this cartridge.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 100''</ref> |

| *This is not the [[Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 AM|SRS-99C S2 AM rifle]]'s default ammo size. The regular size is 14.5mm, but [[Linda]] converted her rifle with an interchangeable barrel and chamber assembly in order to use this cartridge.

| *".450" means that this bullet is forty-five hundredths of an inch wide. This is about 11.43mm.

| *It should be noted that there was an old .45-caliber ''rifle'' cartridge: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.45-70 the .45-70 Government cartridge] (colloquially referred to as: ".45 Government"). So a .45-caliber rifle cartridge isn't entirely out of the question. Whether or not such a cartridge would perform effectively is another story.
