The Stanchion is built on a frame similar to that of the [[SRS99-AM sniper rifle]]. Unlike the SRS99, however, the Stanchion is a [[coilgun]], and has more in common with [[Gauss cannon]]s and larger [[Naval autocannon|naval guns]] in terms of operation than a regular firearm. The weapon is powered by an Asychronous Linear Induction Motor (ALIM), capable of accelerating its munitions to several thousand metres per second.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Accordingly, the receiver and barrel of the Stanchion are much bulkier than a conventional sniper rifle, with a protective housing visually reminiscent of the [[ARC-920 railgun]]. The Stanchion is renowned for overpenetration and collateral damage, making it extremely effective against its targets. The high muzzle velocity of the weapon makes it extremely powerful and accurate at long distances.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | The Stanchion is built on a frame similar to that of the [[SRS99-AM sniper rifle]].

M99A2S3 Stanchions are capable of being manufactured aboard the {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}}'s internal factory modules. In [[2558]], the [[Smart AI]] [[Isabel]] created a design template for the weapon on [[Installation 00|the Ark]], given the code "ISABEL-2558-01-00023". This design template was later put to manufacture following the arrival of {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} to the installation in [[2559]], with Stanchions built in manufacturing block 23-CELL-14.{{Ref/Reuse|breakdown}} | |||

Sparks also customized his weapon with tally marks for every kill, a [[Camouflage|Dazzle camo pattern]], and two charms; a Scorpio charm and an ODST Talisman.{{Ref/Reuse|CF100}} | ||

The Stanchion features in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' as a weapon that can be equipped by UNSC [[Sniper]] units. By default, snipers in ''Halo Wars 2'' do not equip Stanchions by default but instead use [[Signature-suppressed anti-materiel rifle|integrally-suppressed anti-materiel rifles]] more in line with a conventional ballistic rifle. The Stanchion sniper rifle is the second upgrade available for the Snipers and can be purchased for a cost of {{HW2Supplies|0}}, {{HW2Power|750}}. | The Stanchion features in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' as a weapon that can be equipped by UNSC [[Sniper]] units.
