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 name="GI 522012">[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/05/02/the-arsenal-of-halo-4.aspx '''Game Informer''' - ''The Arsenal of Halo 4'']</ref> The S5 model is designed and manufactured by [[Misriah Armory]].<ref name="GI 522012"/>

==Design details==

The SRS99-S5 AM is a semi-automatic, gas-operated [[sniper rifle]] that fires [[14.5×114mm]] M232 APFSDS rounds from a 4-round magazine. It is, alongside its primary [[Covenant]] counterpart, the [[Type-27 beam rifle|Type-27 Special Application Sniper Rifle]], the most accurate and arguably the most powerful small-arms weapon in either arsenal.

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>

==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 name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>

* '''[[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 name="H5G"/>

* '''[[Nornfang]]''': ''Nornfang'' is the personal sniper rifle of Spartan-II [[Linda-058]]. The sniper features expolsive rounds and has muzzle flash. Lens glare when scoped. When you use the gun you are lit on fire. It makes it easier to be spot. This gun can't be used with other sniper ammo.<ref name="H5G"/>

==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.}}

* Can pierce all units in the line of fire except for allies, shielded units and metallic units ([[Promethean Crawler]]s, etc.)

* Can destroy Shade Turrets in two shots and deal heavy damage to [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghost]]s in one shot.
