If they are only buying two it's to play with them and figure out their characteristics. They will do wound analysis, ballistic analysis (casing and bullet), etc. When they order 10-20 then you can expect they are heading into the field.

If you see them before they see you,it doesn't matter what they have.
Er, um, ah, with the range on these puppies I think the whole idea is that you don't hear or see anything before the projectile reaches you.

Wonder what FBI wants with 20mm supressed rifles ?
Why "pink mist" of course...

I hope they do lots of practice at 25Y first... [laugh]
 
I actually thought they already had them. I think they should have them. I also think I should have one or two of them as well.
 
"two one to two one actual, i've got eyes on four tangos carrying what appears to be a...a... a really big log. do you think it's an enemy sniper team getting into position,... or just a bunch of drunken scottsmen getting ready for a caber tossing competition?"
I was thinking you'd use two single point slings and dual wield?[laugh]
