Interesting point. Even if he did hit there's not much chance of getting
a
suppression on a unit unless there's some pretty spectacular special
effects
when the target gets hit.

With a modern day rifle there's all that blood and stuff to let people
know
that it's dangerous, and a far away report to let you know how far away
the
shooter really was. If all you've got is young Timmy quietly falling
over
there isn't anything to cause the need to hit cover.

Which implies a sniper laser has to be tweaked to make sure it causes
special
effects in order to be efficient.
