The DeLisle Carbine, .45 Almost Completely Suppressed

Saw this cool little carbine over at another site and thought I'd share it.  Pretty cool.

The De Lisle carbine or De Lisle Commando carbine was a British carbine used during World War II. The primary feature of the De Lisle was its very effective suppressor which made it extremely quiet in action.

Few were made as their use was limited to special military units.

The designer was William De Lisle. It was based on a Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield Mk III* converted to .45 ACP by modifying the receiver, altering the bolt/bolthead, replacing the barrel with a modified Thompson submachine gun barrel, and using modified magazines from the M1911 pistol. The primary feature of the De Lisle was its extremely effective suppressor, which made it very quiet in action. So quiet, in fact, that working the bolt to chamber the next round makes a louder noise than firing a round.[1] The single-shot, bolt operation offered an advantage in that the shooter could refrain from chambering the next round if absolute silence was required after shooting. A Semi-automatic weapon would not have offered this option as the cycling of the bolt coupled with rearward escaping propellant gas would produce a noise with each shot.

Not that amazing at all, really.

.45ACP is for the most part, ammo and barrel length depending, traveling slower than 1100-1150FPS.
It is, as mentioned, a bolt action. The gas has nowhere to go except into the suppressor. As you know
suppressors are designed to trap and slow the expanding gas exiting the muzzle.

You can integrally suppress just about any modern bolt gun, especially well with those that are pistol
caliber. The Marlin camp carbine thing-comes to mind. You can dive into the variety of other rifle calibers too.
.300BLK/WISPR/FRBAL, 7.62-(39)-(51), or .458SOCOM. All are equally quiet when loaded subsonic and
run in bot guns.

Ah, because of customers' wives' complaints about their husbands jizzing in their pants when they saw the sexy box, and again when they saw the actual firearm. They claimed that once was enough, and they couldn't even get two in bed when they wanted it....

You darn right, from the firearm all to the shipping box, that thing is badass.  I agree, they really need to package firearms like that again.  Ohh, do I long for the olden days.

I'm sure you knew that for 200 dollars back in the 20's, you could have a FULL AUTO TOMMY GUN mailed to your home in a box much like that.  OMG how I wish for the America that they lived in back then.
