Actually, they exist. One model fires .45ACP I believe -- beats a .22
hushpuppy by a mile. But they are dedicated "sentry removal" weapons. As
I said earlier, real sniper rifles don't much care for the noise. The 
target is supposed to be dead when the sound gets there, and a good 
sniper never takes a second shot from the same place anyway.
