I've seen a few articles where the authors have played with blackpowder in the .45 ACP.  Besides the obvious M1911A1, one ambitious fellow decided to run the loads through an Ingram M10...instant smokescreen.

That is Art Alphin, who also started the A-Square rifle company.  Most of the A-Square wildcats were designed for use on heavy/dangerous African game.
 

It was roughly a scaled down version of Frank Marquardt's 20mm Mk 11 cannon design that was also produced by Hughes Tool Company.

S&W and Taurus have made commercial revolvers with varying amounts of titanium parts.  S&W has limited itself to Ti cylinders and firing pins, but Taurus went as far as making complete Ti frames.  There used to be a fair number of M1911 action parts in Ti, as well as complete frames. 

No, the Springfield 1911 were sourced from IMBEL in Brazil.  IMBEL also provided Springfield's FAL (SAR48) before the import ban.

Actually, the rifle variant was based upon the Ruger Super Redhawk.  The GP100 variant was a handgun only.
 
The ammunition for the KAC suppressed revolvers used a captive sabot. The large caliber sabot stopped against the forcing cone of the small caliber barrel to seal the cylinder gap. The propellant gases were then left to flow into the suppressor.
 
In articles that I've seen, the project was credited to Reed Knight and John Anderson. However, the cartridge concept is derived from an earlier design by Charles R. (Bob) Olsen. He saw it as the basis for a high velocity revolver cartridge without the need to use a bottlenecked case with its setback problems. He called it the Invicta. The models he showed to the shooting press back in the early/mid-80s were built on Dan Wesson revolvers. I suspect that no one wanted to market it due to the possibility that some idiot would slip a standard cartridge into the cylinder and try to shoot it out of the smaller diameter bore.

It's really weird that The Firearm Blog keeps picking up stuff we talk about on this forum. Do you think one of their writers lurks here or something?

Rainbow Six has been dead to me since Raven Shield.  Likewise, Ghost Recon died after the original expansion packs.  Ubisoft destroyed both of the properties after buying Red Storm Entertainment.

That would be Irwin Barr.

That looks more like the Peace Officer Equipment Company extended magazine, and not the Krieger.

5818 is the Springfield Armory SPIW Concept #1 prototype circa 1962.  There are publicity photos of John Garand holding it during an April 1962 tour of the Armory, and thus, it is a commonly misidentified as the T31 bullpup.  The hinged lower Concept #1 was rejected for future development in favor of the Concept #2, of which 5814 is a cannibalized example.  5824 is a further development of the Concept #2 along the lines of what was submitted for the 1964 SPIW trials.  You can see that the magazine well was lengthened for the quirky tandem magazine arrangement.  The latter was required to meet the 60rd magazine requirement without resulting in excess tube height.  I have not seen documentation on the sound suppressor seen on this variant, as it was not used on the trial models.

4186 is marked as a Silent Weapon System - Alpha concept model, but it looks like a restocked air rifle.  SWS-Alpha were developed around captive piston cartridges like the Cal. .30 XM76 and the Cal. .38 XM202.

 
 
 
Popenker posted that. Upper guns are connceted to SPIW, i think, lower are unknown to me.

"Yaw cards" have been used for well over a century, so I suspect this phenomenon was discovered a long time ago.

Here in the US, Bill Fleming and/or F.J. Vollmer used to offer this conversion, both suppressed and unsuppressed.  In the UK, FR Ordnance produced approximately fifty MC51.

This thread has photos of the cartridges:

It is an OSS (Operators Suppressor Systems) "Generation V" sound suppressor.  The octagonal suppressor sleeve is a dead giveaway. 

It was roughly a scaled down version of Frank Marquardt's 20mm Mk 11 cannon design that was also produced by Hughes Tool Company.

Daniel Watters, you're killing me:
 
  I see you are serving up Sacred Cow steaks for Easter dinner.
