The M99A2S3 Special Application Scoped Rifle is a weapon in the M99 Stanchion series of high-powered anti-materiel rifles in the service of the United Nations Space Command.[1]
Overview
Design details
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 cannons and larger 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.[4] 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.
Midway down the barrel, the M99A2S3 is located with an inertia buffer designed to help lessen the recoil produced when firing the weapon.[5]and a bipod that can be folded back and secured on the weapon. The rifle is compatible with an ATLAS HISHOT PRO-X optic, capable of being smart-linked with an operator's heads-up display.[1][2]
Ammunition
The Stanchion fires tungsten penetrator darts, with a muzzle velocity of several thousand metres per second.[4] The darts are stored in a disposable burn-up casing that contains a sabot and the dart itself. The weapon's detachable box magazine is capable of holding 7 rounds before a reload is required.[2]
Development history
The M99A2S3 was developed on the UNSC Spirit of Fire in its manufacturing block "23-CELL 14". It is based on a template by Isabel called "Isabel-2558-01-00023".[1][2]
Usage
During the Second Ark Conflict, the M99A2S3 Stanchion was used by Lance Corporal Sparks of Sunray 1-1, and had achieved at least 17 kills with it. Sparks also customized his weapon with tally marks for every kill, a Dazzle camo pattern, and two charms; a Scorpio charm and an ODST Talisman.[1]
