      wait this is awesome. a whisper-quiet bolt-action subsonic 9mm. Currently coveting

      note to my FBI agent (put this in the file for my next FOIA request), the standard American revenge fantasy is a mass shooting and you really cannot do one of those with a bolt action gun. at least not at a police station lol, you'd be instantly merked

      reproduction welrod

      I'm not a gun guy but I did a bit of googling about Welrod because I had no idea what it was - other than it was certainly some kind of gun. At Wikipedia - I found this...

      Brügger & Thomet VP9

      The Brügger & Thomet VP9 (Veterinary Pistol 9mm) is a manual repeater, magazine fed, integrally-suppressed pistol created by Brügger & Thomet (now B&T) for use as a veterinary pistol for putting down sick and wounded animals. The design is based on the Welrod pistol.

      $5000

      Maybe it's cheaper? By a lot?

        Your average redneck can put together a silencer, scuse me, a suppressor, for less than $20 at Walmart.
