I read they use .22 semi-autos with moderators on them. No fuss, no noise, anyone that says its not enough must be crazy. Half a dozen hollow point .22's in the back of the swede and you are toast.

I think that was their intelligence agency rather than special forces. Take somebody out in a hotel room without waking the room next door. The Berlin aftermath etc.
The CIA were the same. Had a spec made integral silenced pistol for the job.

Yeah that's the one. Was developed based on CIA requirements for a clandestine pistol. OR to be exact, the OSS as the CIA was then known.

In an effort to gain approval from the highest seat of power – the President – “Wild Bill” Donovan arranged for a demonstration of the [HDM Pistol] in front of FDR. Donovan strolled into the Oval Office while FDR was busy working with his secretary, placed a sand trap on the floor, and fired ten rounds as fast as he could. He then walked over to FDR, handed him the pistol, and explained what he had just done while the President was otherwise occupied.

50 AE desert Eagle..

Here's my story about my first time firing a pistol.

I was in the States many years ago. A work colleague brought me to a shooting range where I rented a .22lr pistol. I'd never even seen a pistol in real life until then. I got the.22lr because I was used to shooting a .22lr rifle so I thought I'd be ok with that. The pistol was great craic but I got envious when when I saw others shooting bigger, cooler looking guns.

Went back up to the counter and changed it for a 9mm pistol. Went back down and fired away and thought I was the biz. Fcukin Rambo I was. When I ran out of ammo I decided to see if they had an even bigger pistol so I went up and got a Desert Eagle .50. The guy behind the counter asked me if I'd fired one of them before so I did what any young Irish lad would do, I lied. Told him I'd fired it on a few occasions so he gave it to me and off I went down the range.

So, this fcukin yoke was huge. And weighed a tonne. I loaded up and did my best to hold it out straight with one hand but I was wobbling all over the place. Easy to see I hadn't a clue what I was doing. Luckily for me, as I was pointing it towards the target another guy came over to me and he was like "woah bro, you need your two hands on that". Just as well he said it to me before I took a shot because it would have broken my wrist or hit me in the face (or both).

I grabbed it tightly (maybe not tightly enough) with two hands and fired. It rattled every tooth in my head and near sprained my wrists and nearly hit me in the face. I know that makes me sound soft but it was like a cannon going off in my hand. Once I got over the shock, I fired 4 more shots and then handed it back with the rest of the unused ammo to the guy on the counter. I'd had enough.

Great to do it once but I have no hankering to do it ever again.

Not a big revolver fan, but I would go one of these alright.

Plus the fact .22 cal is according to fbi responsible for more gun deaths than any other calibre.

Really? I didn't know that, I would have guessed 9mm but it does make sense, 22lr is the most popular calibre. You'd also have a wide range of firearms chambered in it, so it's just logical that more accidents occur with 22lr then.

And that also how the Luftwaffe ended up with fine Sauer Drillings as survival guns for awhile in WW2. Goering's cronyism with Sauer and just about every arms company was well known. You get a contract off him. Give him some really fancy firearm as thanks, or as bait for a step up.:p

Seems to be a thing with German gun companies. The Shah of Iran ended up with this HK MP5,along with a HK VP0Z that got similar treatment,as he was a big fan of all things German military equipment,and whose remnants can still be seen in the Iranian army today.Both guns disappered in the oveerthrow of the Shah monarchy.

That MP5 looks like the bling fairy vomited and defecated on it. I’ll take one in black and gray any day over that hideous thing.

Apprently in both guns they had;
2kgs of ivory in the buttstock,grip and fore-end on the MP5
0ver 200 diamonds and rubies in the engravings
1kilo of 24-carat gold between the pair of them.
Guess some lucky Iranian in the looting of the palace did a midnite flit with his family and those two guns...Who wouldn't??
