The SRS99D-S2 AM is a powerful, semi-automatic sniper rifle chambered in the [[14.5×114mm|14.5×114mm cartridge]], generally firing APFSDS (armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding-sabot) ammunition. | The SRS99D-S2 AM is a powerful, semi-automatic sniper rifle chambered in the [[14.5×114mm|14.5×114mm cartridge]], generally firing APFSDS (armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding-sabot) ammunition.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC325}} The optic mounted on the weapon is capable of x5 and x10 magnification.<ref name="H3">[[Halo 3]]'', gameplay''</ref> | ||
In profile, the SRS99D-S2 AM bears clear resemblance to the [[SRS99C-S2 AM]], sharing its smooth and simplistic design. The weapon's finish is matte grey. The charging handle is located on the left side of the weapon, a metallic-coloured rounded protrusion, and expended casings are ejected on the right. The stock is solid, and not connected with the pistol group as in some SRC99C-S2 AM rifles. A metal guard projects out from the underside of the weapon, over where it is gripped for firing. As in the SRS99C-S2, a square carrying-handle is located in front of and over the scope. | In profile, the SRS99D-S2 AM bears clear resemblance to the [[SRS99C-S2 AM]], sharing its smooth and simplistic design.
