Integrally silenced, the article says, but iti s te ammunition that is silent and free of flash, with a piston in the casing to contain powder blast and noise, while pushing a .30 cal 143 grain bullet at 655fps.
Looks like a good tool for putting one behind the ear of a convicted political prisoner down in the basement of the Internal Security building, without all the noise and smoke they used to get from the Nagant revolvers, but for anything other than up close and personal, it sure looks anemic compared to a noisy 9mm or anything larger.
Or maybe for assassinating a dissident on a crowded street in London, or even to kill a sentry while infiltrating an enemy base.
