Summary

The SRS99D Sniper Rifle is a semi-automatic, gas-operated, magazine-fed, long-ranged weapon. It is relatively the same as the SRS99C-S2 AM Sniper Rifle but with some design and technical changes. It still fires the 14.5x114mm APFSDS (Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot) rounds semi-automatically from a four round clip. It still has a 5x and 10x scope but with real-time display but it now shows it with an LCD screen that shows a infrared view of what the scope sees. Its power as well as accuracy and range are relatively the same compared to the S2 AM.
