how strong is it

it's based on a rifle chambered in 20mm hispano, napkin math says you can expect a muzzle energy of ~3100 ft-lbs with an armor-piercing bullet.

I'd say there's a 50% chance that one of the dumb books goes into autistic detail about the projectile, so that's another avenue of investigation.

If that's the case it's retarded how it was never antimateriel until Reach came out. It literally does 0 damage to vehicles in CE

It is chambered in a 14.5x114 derivative but shoots a finned SLAP round made of a pick your sci-fi metal of choice for extra density. In the books it is an effective anti-vehicle weapon.

with the early games (ce especially), they didn't have too much experience with firearms; as the games went on, they made them closer to real life analogues. i recall the devs went shooting when making halo 2.

in real life it can single shot destroy a jeep if aimig at the gas tank and disable most moden unarmed vichicles like troop transports and destroy small cars. but not a apc or heavier.

most snipers are used to take out officers so idk.
its a bit Over the top for the job.

most of the time the big snipers are used is to take out cars and humvees with bullet proof glass
as the old .308 won't do it.

the cartridge it's based on can generally punch through the armor of light armored vehicles, yes. during ww2 it could get through the hull sides of some tanks (though stand-off skirts generally stopped it).

has only about 120 meters of range while the sniper has 1000 meters, basically meaning it has infinite range on CE's default maps.

At least more penetrative than the gun it's based on. UNSC weapons tend to operate at higher velocities than their modern counterparts.

It fires a long dart (SLAP is pretty stubby in real life so a long dart should be more efficient per caliber potentially by a factor of double or triple.) at obscene velocity. It can penetrate several more inches of hardened steel armor than a normal HMG round or a 20mm in other words, and according to one statement files straight through 12 feet of meat and bone.

Thank you for noticing. I couldn't upload the full version with sound, and I'm not gonna post it to my newgrounds account, So i'll just let ya'll enjoy this version.

On another note, I hate CE magfuckers so much that I DID actually load up CE again just to pop their skulls with the ACTUAL best weapon in the game. and yes I'm aware of care of the fact that it can't kill flood combat forms. That's what the fucking shotgun and AR are for. Now lets go over the reasons why The sniper rifle is unequivocally the best weapon in the game

1: It looks fucking awesome, black and green stealth aesthetic is unmatched.

2: I don't care about the pistol's "thReE HeAdShOt KiLl" That's 70% luck based and the Sniper rifle kills in 2 body shots, get fucked.

3: the scope actually improves performance when used

4: I see a lot of people mention that "If one shot of the pistol hits you, your sniper scope will zoom out bro!!1!". And they are correct, but you know what happens when one sniper shot hits you? Instant fucking death that's what.

5: Be real for a sec. It's objectively cooler. Would you rather own a retarded looking M6D Magnum that'll break your wrist if you don't two hand it like a weak ass calcium deficient straw-bone scarecrow-built skateboarder armed fucktard? Or a full size, sleek, beautiful
SRS99C-S2 Anti-MatΓ©riel rifle that can blow through three elephants and crater them skull to ass and break every fucking window in Geneva with the heavenly thunderclap of it's firing sound alone, and still have the power to turn anything behind said elephants to jelly with nothing but the blast wave from the round going supersonic.

Fuck all the people jerking the magnum off. It's not that good and it's not the gun the god damned thread is about. Take your chrome blasted glorified rng gun and pray horse-hash back to a shitty wizard/rat race pistols only containment match.

Good day.
