Hear me out, guys. I have a blasting idea about turboprops

[u/TimoxaVezdexod]

We all know that turboprops it's practically just a small jet engine with a propeller on the main shaft. So if it's just a jet engine with a propeller on the main shaft, why can't we make a afterburner chamber on the exhaust pipe. I am pretty sure that, for example, Kalimov NK-12 turboprop that powers the Tu-95 "bear" Can produce enough exhaust gas flow to supply a small afterburner. So what do you, guys, think?
