What if the hunting rifle had a scope that beeped faster but the sniper rifle actually featured a spot on beep that was different. The sniper rifle is still better, both because it does more damage per shot and because it comes equipped with a scope, perhaps, that doesn't need batteries or, at any rate, a scope already attached.
