Couple questions about supressing big bore calibers.

Hello, hope youre well.

If you fired .454 casull out of a bolt action rifle..

(1) can you download it so that it doesn't break the sound barrier?

(2) wouldn't a big old high grain bullet like that still hit pretty hard even if it has been slowed down?

(3) being a pistol Barrel can't the barrel length be reduced or at least shorter than rifles like a 30-06?

(4) I know Bullpup bolt actions exist, if this weapon could have a shorter Barrel I imagine if you made a Bullpup design it would really be pretty compact.
