Sniper Rifle Suppressor

 is a Sniper Rifle weapon mod in Fallout: New Vegas.

The Sniper rifle (Fallout: New Vegas) requires the suppressor to be manually bought and attached, while the Gobi Campaign scout rifle comes pre-fixed with Extended Mags and a Maintenance Kit.

Background Info
A Flash Suppressor, or flash guard, is what is used to reduce muzzle flash. A Suppressor reduces flash and the sound of gunfire. Also, the term 'silencer' is a misnomer in the real world, as it is impossible to have a completely silent firearm; the word is still used by many people, however. Furthermore a large portion of the noise a firearm makes is due to the bullet exceeding the speed of sound. Without subsonic ammunition a .308 caliber rifle would still be extremely loud with a suppressor.
