Suppressed WW2 Firearms

[bombdoc]

The other WW2 generation UK silenced pistol was the "sleeve gun".. a .32 cylindrical single shot weapon related to the Welrod (both were produced by SOE) which was designed to be concealed up the sleeve of a jacket. The trigger mechanism was at the front of the weapon and it was designed to be pressed up against the victim. This used rubber wipers and was, like the WELROD, very quiet!

There was also of course a silenced version of the STEN sub machine gun..

I wonder why noone mentioned the Welrod pistol? I have one, in case pictures are needed..

Which one do you have... the .32 or the 9mm? I presume it is one of the pistols supplied to the resistance in Europe..?

The US produced some in 9mm and a few in .45 ACP for trials.. it is not known how many are still in captivity..! The standard US silenced pistol was built on a .22 Colt Woodsman; it is not as quiet as a Welrod...!
