A '''Hard Sound Rifle''' is a [[Human]]-made [[wikipedia:Sonic weaponry|sonic weapon]]. As it utilizes concentrated sound waves instead of a solid projectile, a hard-sound rifle kills instantly and leaves no residue or powder burns and causes little noticeable external damage to the intended target, making the weapon virtually untraceable in forensic investigations. A preferred weapon used by assassins of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], they are sometimes (illegally) purchased by civilians, for less malevolent means. The Hard Sound Rifle can be used as a more efficient, and more stealthy version of a sniper rifle.<ref name="hard">[[Media:hard_sound_rifle.ogg|hard_sound_rifle.ogg]]</ref> | A '''Hard Sound Rifle''' is a [[Human]]-made [[wikipedia:Sonic weaponry|sonic weapon]].
