They are buying two of them.
Does anyone know why the FBI is buying these things? With the suppressor, they are over $16,000 apiece, with most of the options that the Feebies want.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

I'd guess to disable vehicles. Regular sniper rounds won't do it, and they obviously won't be getting RPGs.
The FBI usually don't do anything long-range enough to need these for that purpose, and I've never heard of anything above .50 cal being used for a sniper rifle. Officially, at least.
I'm not sure what the utility of a suppressor is on something that large.
Still, they are only buying two of them. That sounds more like a T&E buy.
Now that's just fuckin' scary. The only practical application I can see is as a long-range sniper weapon used for assassinating certain political leaders when they fail to get with the "politically correct" program.
Phil,
I don't buy it. The group of a rifle out past traditional sniper ranges will likely be such that if they shot at a human target at 4,000 yards, they'd have as much chance of missing as hitting.
So I can think of a few reasons. The FBI might want to wring them out and find out what they can do for the day when a bad guy gets his hands on one. Second, the HRT boys think they have a need for something that can disable an armored car. Third, the boys at Quantico are bored and they want some new toys.
16 grand for something I can whip up on a lathe in 10 minutes with a foot of black pipe? I'm in the wrong fucking business.
Fixer, the suppressor is only $3.2K or so.
Fuck It! I don't care why they NEED one. I WANT ONE
