Sniper weapons disappearing instead of being destroyed/disabled upon death

Are the sniper rifle weapons supposed to disappear upon death without the ability to restore it? The Old Man really comes alive with the sniper weapons.

I managed to make it a disabled weapon by not putting the destroyed weapon in the stash but even as a disabled weapon it disappear same as the destroyed one when you put it in your stash. There is one other quest to get the anti tank rifle. You can get NTW-20 sniper from quests or looting destroyed ones and re-extracting them to repair them.

That sniper is hot trash for some reason. Takes too many shots to take out an exo. It has 800 damage. Grenade launcher has 1000. It shouldn't take almost 20 bullets to down a damn exo man wtf. Plus you can't fire from cover in most of the maps. They have to smooth out the collisions.

It's trash because it has the wrong calibre. Should be 20mm.
