{{Main|Sniper rifle (fiction)}}

Another prominent sniper rifle is the [[M99 Stanchion]], a now-defunct weapon that has been out of production since [[2521]].{{Ref/Comic|HGN|Pg=122}} The Stanchion bears more resemblance to a [[Wikipedia:Coilgun|coilgun]] or [[Wikipedia:Railgun|railgun]] than a traditional chemical propellant-based firearm, using electromagnetism to launch its projectiles.{{Ref/Site|https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/railgun|Halo Waypoint|Section=Universe|Railgun}} It was used by the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} during the [[Second Ark Conflict]], along with another sniper rifle known as the [[signature-suppressed anti-materiel rifle]].{{Ref/Site|https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/the-art-of-war-s|Halo Waypoint|Section=Canon Fodder|The Art of War(s)}}{{Ref/Game|HW2|campaign}} Additionally, an [[Unidentified insurrectionist group|Insurrectionist group]] active on [[Harvest]] and [[Arcadia]] was known to equip its soldiers with an as-of-yet [[unidentified sniper rifle]].{{Ref/Game|HW|multiplayer}}

====''Halo: Spartan Strike''====

However in ''Spartan Strike'', the Sniper Rifle also spawns in the campaign itself, exclusively on the final mission: [[Mission E-6: Hold the Line|E-6: Hold the Line]]. In total, four Sniper Rifles spawn on this mission, along with four [[Spartan Laser]]s and four [[Rocket Launcher]]s, the two other previously loadout-exclusive weapons.{{Ref/Level|SS|Mission E-6: Hold the Line|LevelLinkText=E-6: Hold the Line}}

The earlier games' depictions of the Sniper Rifle, notably those from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', ''Halo 2'', ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'', bear significant resemblance to and were likely inspired by the real-world [[Wikipedia:Denel NTW-20|Denel NTW-20]], an anti-material rifle developed in the 1990s by Denel Mechem.
