The Sniper Rifle System 99-S5 Anti-Matériel, abbreviated SRS99-S5 AM, is a UNSC Sniper Rifle.

Design Details
The SRS99-S5 AM is a gas-operated, magazine-fed, semi-automatic Sniper Rifle. This weapon has an incredibly similar design to the SRS-99 AM from Halo: Reach, in addition to having exceptional accuracy and the ability to take out energy shielding and high-density armor alike. This weapon has a four round magazine, similar to its predecessors, and also have a tan color on the stock and scope, though it is unclear whether this is for camouflage or simply aesthetic pourposes.

Trivia

 * The Halo 4 Medal Snapshot is awarded for taking out an enemy using this weapon without the use of a scope. This can be achieved easily by destroying an enemy vehicle without zooming in.
 * It isn't possible to detect a fake hologram with this sniper rifle unlike the Halo Reach sniper rifle.
 * In previous versions of the game, before the actual release, the sniper rifle seemed to have a different texture. The scope and thumb-hole stock were a desert-khaki color and the lens on the scope was solid black instead of the cyan color in the final version of the game. It also seemed to have an external round counter on the scope, displaying the number of rounds left in a clip with red lights (See the screenshots below) .
