Can a sniper rifle be silenced?
It is possible, and in the history of silenced weapons it may have been done for some special purpose such as assassination, but the rifle will still make an audible sound. With any rifle, the bullet will hit the target before the sound reaches it anyway, and that time is increased by the extra range of a sniper's rifle, so there is little point in silencing them for most wartime applications. The sound emitted can be reduced further still by using subsonic ammunition, but this is less effective, and also can reduce the effective range.
