Too bad that the sniper rifle with enough power to break through a full aura protection of a healthy and rested person for an instant kill would be considered to OP in the RWBY-verse

Unless, of course, blatantly OP was the objective. Then again, even a rifle 1/4 of that power level has enough impact to throw its target completely off their feet, disorient them, and land them in a world of unimaginable pain.

Keep in mind, however, that any weapon that powerful will also have its drawbacks. Poor rate of fire, time to line up the shot, probably weigh a fucking ton because of how high a caliber the rounds would be; need a rifle that can handle the stress.
