Sniper Rifle Suppressor

Effects
The Sniper Rifle suppressor removes most of the Sniper's firing noise and allows the player to take down an enemy without alerting any nearby enemies surrounding it. It also appears to aid in the use of Stealth Criticals.

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, 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 calibre rifle would still be extremely loud with a suppressor.
