How about a revolver with a silencer attached? That's one of my personal favs.

What's wrong with that?

There's a few millimeters distance between the cylinder and the barrel, while a silencer might muffle some of the muzzle blast it still will not be quiet due to the escaping gases between the cylinder and the barrel.

You buy very cheaply made revolvers.

For the record, TV/movie "silencers" always seem far more effective than real life suppressors.

Ah.

I was under the impression that a silencer would only work once on a semi-auto. Something about the gas pressure not being enough to cycle the slide.

Don't forget the A-Team, where several thousand rounds will be fired in a full on machine gun firefight, and nobody ever got hit.

It's a movie/TV. It isn't meant to be realistic.

What if it's a documentary on TV?

Still not meant to be realistic or portray reality.

All the autoloading pistols I know of are recoil-operated. Gas operation is widely used in semiautomatic and automatic rifles.

I think the same guys that wrote the scripts for that show did the old GI Joe cartoons as well. Ten million shots fired, not a drop of blood!! :shocked:

Desert Eagle is gas operated, one of the few.

Almost all revolvers, say 99%+ have some form of cylinder gap. It's the entire reason there is a forcing cone at the end of the barrel.

Only revolver I know off the top of my head that doesn't have cylinder gap is the 1895 Nagant. When the hammer is cocked the cylinder actually moves forward to create a seal with the barrel, allowing the use of a suppressor. There is a later model from Russia that was made from the ground up as a suppressed revolver for the KGB.

While they don't do many things right, Smith & Wesson does make fine revolvers. If you think there isn't a gap between the cylinder and barrel, just put your hand up there on a .500S&W or .460VXR and say goodbye to your thumb.

I agree on the presence of cylinder gap. I laugh at a few millimeters of gap.

Point noted, I failed to focus on the big dark part were you highlighted mm 😛

And indeed, a few mm in gap and you'd only be firing it once 😉

afaik, the only revolver that can effectively use a suppressor is the nagant.

edit: just as good as the magic guns are the cars made of dynamite.

what about a character with a Glock pulling the trigger repeatedly *click,click,click*
