The Sniper Rifle System 99G-Series 6 Anti-Material (SRS99G-S6 AM) is a sniper rifle in use with UNSC forces. Lethal and precise, the rifle is just as effective at destroying enemy personnel as it is battlefield materiel.
Description[]
The SRS99G-S3-AM is a semi-automatic UNSC sniper rifle that fires 14.5mm x 114mm rounds from a 4 round magazine. It is designed in the conventional layout, so the magazine and operating system are located in front of the trigger.
This powerful weapon is a gas-operated semi automatic and therefore must be cocked via the charging lever to load the first round into the action. Once the first round is fired, the gases from the previous round forces the bolt back and forth and continues to do so until the magazine is empty. Once the magazine is empty, the bolt locks back and the magazine is removed. After a new magazine is inserted, the charging handle must be cocked again, loading the next magazine
The SRS99G has a Misriah Armories high quality smooth bore barrel, is about 100.5cm long and is completely interchangeable. From the barrel to the breech to the stock, everything can be changed to fit the current situation and satisfy the operator. It is factory-installed with a 5x-, 10x-, and 15x- Augur magnification scope, mounted on a Misriah rail, although it also comes with fully recessed, fully adjustable, yet removable day/night iron sights. When looking through the scope, readouts showing a target's distance and elevation can be seen and used to make adjustments to a scope's setting. A folding bipod located in front of the magazine, on the underside of the gun, provides balance to the sniper's shot.
The SRS99G has some small changes from the SRS99C models.The SRS99G also has a more ergonomic foregrip and stock as well as an altered body and a sports trigger-guard. New technology advances have allowed Misriah to install a kinetic suppressor into the rifle's system, making for less recoil as well as easier and much more accurate shot placement, which works by sending the bolt travelling down the receiver rather than backwards to absorb recoil and direct it away from the shooter.
The carbonized metal barrel rests in a shock-resistant, thermoplastic barrel bedding, reducing recoil and increasing stability. Outside of the bedding, the entire barrel is free floating, preventing other components from potentially affecting its aim. The barrel and bolt are coated in carbon fibre, protecting it and reduce malfunction rates. The cold forged components are extremely damage resistant and resistant to heat. The bolt and barrel are both fluted, reducing weight. The hollow stock can be collapsed, reducing over all length when being carried. The weapon can be collapsed into a 'compact' format for carrying, reducing it to four components that stack on each other and can be carried in a back pack.
The weapon is delivered, by default, with a 26 inch smoothbore barrel. This can be fast swapped for longer or shorter barrels, being compatible with both smoothbore and rifled barrels, allowing it to fire a greater variety of ammunition, or be used in more close quarters environments.
An advantage of the modular design, is that with a simple barrel swap it can instead feed 20x82mm rounds, with no need to change bolt. With this simple change, in exchanges range and precision for a modest explosive payload.
Features[]
- Misriah KS2 Kinetic Suppressor System- Alleviates complaints about heavy kickback and missed shots due to recoil. Provides smooth, easy tracking.
- Misriah Rail- An omni-attachment rail patented by Misriah Armoury that allows for the inter changing of different scopes and sights.
- Trinity Augur Scope- The pre-installed scope that comes with the rifle when it is delivered from the factory. Has three levels of zoom: 5x, 10x, and 15x.
Variants[]
Series 6A[]
The 6A is an upper receiver swap that uses the 11.43x88mm anti-personnel rounds. Fired from a rifled barrel, they're the pinnacle of man-stopping munitions for precision work.
Series 6C[]
A Colonial Militia variant, this upper receiver swap allows it to fire 12.7x99mm with a rifled barrel. This makes the weapon easier on supplies since it shares ammunition with more wide spread machine guns. It is still hard hitting in this role.
SRS-101 Series 6[]
A independent variant with much of the same tech, it uses a ballistic computer to fire air-bursting 25mm grenades, especially deadly against personnel in defilade, and is accurate to long range.
SRS-103 Series 6[]
The 103 is a large scale modification, that is altered to fire 20x139mm shells, shared with a number of autocannons in service. Useful against even light armour, it is devastatingly effective against personnel, material, and soft-skinned vehicles alike. However, the increased size means it must be handled more like a crew-served weapon.
UNSC Remarks[]
- "Woohoo! It's like firing a laser, except it goes boom-boom and not zap-zap!" -Anonymous UNSC Marine Marksman
- "This weapon is our primary choice for both new and experienced snipers alike. It provides excellent range, balanced shot/kill ratios, and is surgically precise in its accuracy. Another feature I like is that it has Misriah rails for interchangable sights." -Major Thomas DeWynne, UNSC Marine Force Recon Instructor
