AFAIK, they’re either returned to the owner, if stolen; or they’re destroyed.

What happens to the firearms of sentenced or dead criminals that were found on said criminal at the time of Police encounter?
Do Police Departments dismantle them or eventually give them to Gunshops, (if said weapon can be legally purchased in the first place), to re-sell?

True, DMR is a thing. On paper they are specced for like 600-700m effective range.

EDIT: Actually that’s enough for police snipers, so I guess you can have a 556 sniper rifle after all.

556 doesn’t have enough range to be a cartridge for a “sniper” weapon. You can build a 556 gun that is more accurate and has a scope or an LPVO, but the range will be limited anyway by bullet drop and the transonic barrier. This is why the military does not bother, as far as I know. Only hobbyists play with this kind of thing.

My understanding is that you can build a sniper rifle based on the M16/AR-15 platform.

What’s the dedicated Sniper Variant of the good old M-16?
If it even exists that is…

I went to a gun show. Then I picked up a Smith & Wesson 686+.
Pictured is the 3” barrel model, similar to what I got.

The picture shows the M79 grenade launcher, not a modded shotgun. Its author probably wanted to say that you load it like a break-action shotgun.

I notice an occasional trend in Shooter Games where Shotguns can be modified into dedicated Grenade Launchers and other crazy heavy cannon type weapons.
Games have to balance weapons and make them fun. (Unless they are meant to be realistic military simulators.)
I haven’t heard of people modding shotguns into grenade launchers. But IIRC earlier in this thread someone linked a firework launcher, very similar to a grenade launcher, that was meant to be made from scratch. I guess it was easier to make it from scratch than to mod a shotgun.

I also found this presentation which kinda reinforces that idea:
Are Shotguns actually the most mod-able long gun type IRL?
In terms of changing the core function of the base firearm entirely instead of adding attachments, the latter of which is the case with Rifles.

I think more because they’re revolvers. Like, the lack of a long barrel like a rifle…
I present this thing:

I wonder if FB Radom is still making the P99. It is still listed on their page: https://fabrykabroni.pl/en/produkty/karabinki-sportowe/p99/

Few years ago some company was presenting arrow guns at a gun show. Not sure what company it was and whether they released the gun to the market. You could try searching for it.
