The '''Sniper Rifle System 99-Series 5 Anti-Matériel''' ('''SRS99-S5 AM''') is a [[Wikipedia:Gas-operated reloading|gas-operated]] [[Wikipedia:Anti-materiel rifle|anti-materiél sniper rifle]] used by the [[United Nations Space Command]], part of the widely-used [[SRS99 series]] of weapons.{{Ref/Site|Id=GI 522012|URL=http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/05/02/the-arsenal-of-halo-4.aspx|Site=Game Informer|Page=The Arsenal of Halo 4|D=29|M=05|Y=2023}} The S5 model is designed and manufactured by [[Misriah Armory]].{{Ref/Reuse|GI 522012}}{{Ref/Reuse|H4VG}}{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
{{Main|SRS99 Series}}
The SRS99-S5 AM is a semi-automatic, gas-operated [[Sniper rifle (disambiguation)|sniper rifle]] that fires [[14.5×114mm]] M232 [[Wikipedia:Armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot|armour-piercing fin-stabilising discarding sabot]] rounds from a 4-round magazine. The weapon's internals are nearly identical to that of the previous [[SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle|Series 2 model]]s - key differences instead lie in the weapon's strong carrying handle, standard [[weapon attachment]] rails, and a heavily ruggedized frame.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} By default, the Series 5 is equipped with the [[Oracle scope|Oracle R-variant scope]] - featuring 4×-9× magnification and the capability to [[Smart-linking|smart-link]] with a compatible [[heads-up display]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

Despite being a widely-used rifle in the post-war conflicts, the Series 5 was primarily developed and intended for use by augmented human personnel such as those of [[Spartan Operations]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

===Variants===
*'''[[End of the Line]]''': The ''End of the Line'' features reduced recoil and a faster rate of fire, but has less stopping power than the base SRS99-S5.{{Ref/Game|H5G|List of REQ cards|REQ card|Detail=End of the Line description|Quote=All good things must come to an end. Improved Sniper Rifle with reduced recoil, but emphasis on faster rate-of-fire has slightly reduced damage.}}
*'''[[Arrow of Time]]''': The ''Arrow of Time'' features an extended magazine and heavy-duty cyberlink that prevents its user from descoping when shot. However, it does have more recoil than the standard SRS99-S5.{{Ref/Game|H5G|List of REQ cards|REQ card|Detail=Arrow of Time description|Quote=There's no going back. Advanced Sniper Rifle with extended magazine and heavy-duty cyberlink that prevents descope. Unfortunately, the weapon does have extra recoil to compensate for.}}
*'''[[Nornfang]]''': ''Nornfang'' is the personal sniper rifle of Spartan-II [[Linda-058]]. It features Armor-Piercing High-Explosive (APHE) rounds, resulting in a greatly increased damage output. When in use, the user is shrouded in a [[Damage Boost|fiery aura]]. ''Nornfang's'' ammunition pool isn't shared with other sniper rifles.{{Ref/Game|H5G|List of REQ cards|REQ card|Detail=Nornfang description|Quote=A master-crafted instrument of death and destruction. Mythic Sniper Rifle firing high explosive armor piercing [APHE] rounds that increases overall damage. In addition, Linda's modifications ensure the Motion Tracker is visible even when using Zoom.}}

==Gameplay==
{{Linkbox|gameplay=yes}}
{{:SRS99 series/Gameplay|In multiplayer, the SRS99-S5 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-S5 leave a trail that could be traced back to the sniper's location.}}
