that is what counter snipers rifles are for, yes :-)
as for whether you can cobine the two gas systems, I think not in the way
they are presented, though I think a system could be made that duplicates
the recoil reducing effect.
Note: why reduce the recoil on a sniper rifle? how often will the gas
system be used?
A real life gas vent functions by venting the gas to counter the recoil,
this actually make MORE noise than without the gas vent and in most cases
more flash too.
