| | == Design details == |
| {{Main|SRS99 Series}} | | {{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}} | | The SRS99-S5 AM is a semi-automatic, gas-operated [[sniper rifle]] that fires [[14.5x114mm]] M232 APFSDS rounds from a 4-round magazine. It is, alongside its primary [[Covenant]] counterpart, the [[Type-27 Special Application Sniper Rifle]], the most accurate and arguably the most powerful small-arms weapon in either arsenal. |
| | |
| 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.}}

| ===Operational history===
| | It is a successor to the [[SRS99_Series#Known_models|S2]] variants used throughout the [[Human-Covenant War]] by the [[UNSC Navy]] and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]]. The S5 model incorporates many features seen on the older [[Sniper Rifle System 99 Anti-Matériel|SRS99]] rifle used in large numbers by the [[UNSC Army|Army]]. The SRS99-S5 AM is intended for use by [[Human augmentation|augmented]] personnel of the [[UNSC Defense Force]]. The sniper features a very strong carrying handle, standard [[weapon attachment]] rails, and a heavily ruggedized frame.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/sniper-rifle '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Sniper Rifle'']</ref> |
| The Series 5 came into prominence within the UNSC towards the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. In the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|postwar era]], it has become a staple of the military's arsenal;{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} by [[2558]] the Series 5 had become the model most highly-produced by Misriah manufacturing facilities.{{Ref/Reuse|H4VG}}

| | ===Changes from Sniper Rifle System 99 Anti-Matériel in ''Halo: Reach''=== |
| }} | | * Spare ammunition reduced from 20 rounds to 16 (without Ammo) |
| The Sniper Rifle is a [[Precision weapon|precision]] [[power weapon]], which fires highly damaging projectiles at near instantaneous speeds. It features two levels of zoom, and a magazine of 4 rounds. This makes it a powerhouse at long ranges, capable of killing most enemies, including enemy players in multiplayer, with one headshot, and outranging other weapons like the [[Battle Rifle]] significantly. To compensate for its power, it is a relatively rare weapon, and ammo for it is difficult to find.
| | * Reticle bloom reduced marginally. |

|
