I was watching Ian's video on this captive pistol pistol and he said the round leaks gas out the front which gives it the volume of maybe a silenced 22 pistol or something. But there's got to be a way to improve these rounds so they're completely silent right? It would have limited application but still it'd be pretty cool
>>64655448>But there's got to be a way to improve these roundsThere are and they did, the OTs-38 uses improved rounds, and it being a revolver, it eliminates the sound of the pistol action.It's also the last gun Igor Stechkin worked on designing before his death.
>>64655482>russian engineering solves problemDoubt.
>>64655536>>russian engineering solves problem>Doubt.Agreed. however, >Soviet engineering solves problem>in very cool steampunk albeit clunky mannerNow we're talking
>>64655448I didn't like how he never mentioned that the gun is a helluva lot shorter than even the smallest supressed pistol
>>64655576Isn't that so obvious it doesn't need mentioning?
>>64655576I was dissappointed that Ian wasn't wearing giant shoulder pads in this video and it was just the chair behind him
>>64655448> It would have limited application but still it'd be pretty coolI had the thought that there’s a small but profitable niche in the concealed carry market for a gun like this. Hear me out>up pressure slightly so it’s comparable to .380 at least>offer caliber swap barrels/slides so you can shoot 9mm/.380/.32 or whatever would fit>practice with conversion barrel for cheap>only shoot expensive unobtanium rounds occasionally>market as a hearing safe CCW pistolMaybe I'm in a smaller minority than I realize, but I think a lot of “serious gun guys” would like a hearing safe CCW pistol. My hearing isn’t my top priority but if I can ventilate Jamal AND not lose any hearing that would be ideal. It’s the same reason I, and thousands and thousands of others, use a suppressor on our home defense guns. In short, get on it Kel-Tec.
>>64655760I doubt it's gonna happen unless the NFA is repealed. as far as I know each round counts as its own suppressor and has to be registered as such. yes it's much closer and far more economical once the $200 thing is gone, but still, registering each sounds like a massive hassle.
>>64656373Fair point. More just daydreaming now, but I wonder if you could register 100 rounds at once? It would be kind of hilarious to register 100 “suppressors” then tell them 50 were destroyed in one day.
