The '''Sniper Rifle System 99 Anti-Matériel''', (formally known as the '''Special Applications Rifle, Caliber 14.5&nbsp;mm, SRS99),'''<ref name="B.net">[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=ordnance&cid=24581 '''Bungie.net''': ''Sniper Rifle System 99'']</ref> is a sniper rifle produced by [[Misriah Armory]] and used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] armed forces, and a part of the broader [[SRS99 series|SRS99 family]] of weapons. The SRS99 entered service with the [[UNSC Army|Army]] in [[2460]]. Because of its modularity and ongoing manufacturer support, the SRS99 was adopted by all branches in [[2521]].{{Ref/Reuse|visual}}{{Ref/Reuse|B.net}}

==Design details==
{{Main|SRS99 Series}}
The SRS99 is a semi-automatic, gas-operated rifle that fires 14.5×114mm ammunition from a four-round detachable box magazine. The ejection port is on the right side of the weapon and the charging handle is on the left side. Unlike all other known models of the SRS99 series, this variant features a black and navy blue finish in addition to the gray of its successors. The SRS99 is equipped with the [[Oracle scope|Oracle N-variant scope]],{{Ref/Reuse|visual}} which can display green outlines of objects when not in active use.

==Gameplay==
{{:SRS99 series/Gameplay|In multiplayer, the SRS99 can be highly effective at close range in the hands of a skilled operator, as the highly damaging round is just as powerful at close range; a single round followed by a melee strike will kill a hostile almost instantly.|Rounds fired by the SRS99 leave a trail that could be traced back to the sniper's location.}}

===Changes from the SRS99D-S2 AM in ''Halo 3''===
*Increased damage against vehicles, destroying them with four to six rounds.
*Has a thumbhole stock rather than  a pistol grip.
*Updated colors.
*Scope is smaller.
*Can neutralize a Scorpion tank in two shots, one to destroy the canopy, and a headshot to kill the now-exposed driver.

===''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''===
In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'' the original [[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle]] is replaced with the SRS99's model. However, as the change is merely aesthetic, it [[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle#Gameplay|performs identically]] to its ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' counterpart.

== Trivia ==
{{Linkbox|gallery=yes}}
*In the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', the scope shows the identity of the weapon's user as "ID-[[SPARTAN-B312|NOBLE6]]", regardless of who wields it. This is not present in the final build.
*At the beginning of the [[campaign]] level ''[[Nightfall]]'', the player receives fifty rounds instead of the default maximum of twenty. This is a tribute to the level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]'' from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', in which the player begins with a larger-than-normal number of sniper rifle rounds.
*The weapon's reticule bloom has almost no effect on gameplay. However, its accuracy is not 100% perfect due to bloom. This can be proven by enabling the ''Bottomless Clip'' option in gametype settings, then firing the rifle as fast as possible. Eventually, the reticle will be fully expanded, proving that each shot is very slightly skewed.
