Actually, that revolver isn't the QSPR.  The QSPR wouldn't require an external suppressor given that the propellant gases were captured within the case itself.

The photo appears to be a display of the US Army Limited Warfare Laboratory's "Tunnel Exploration Kit."  The kit included a .38 Special revolver fitted with a suppressor and flashlight, as well as a headlamp and communication system built into the fatigue cap.  It was developed in response to an April 1966 requirement issued by the 1st Infantry Division, ACTIV, and USARV.  The LWL quickly knocked together six kits and shipped them to Vietnam, and they were issued to the field units by September 1966.

Here's the report on the kit:  http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/804859.pdf

Great illustration. The things do not kick, but they do twist/squirm a bit.

 

Meplat would know, recoilless rifles play heavily into his mass lay off procedure, while giving his janitorial crew something to do.

You have me confused with someone who actually has money..

Besides, I prefer warfarin in the water-cooler for proper termination of unwanted employees.

"hey Ivan, lets make this one part of the gun wooden for no reason at all"

 

"Is glorious solider to grip it?"

 

"Nope, we have a for-grip for that, no its just there to fuck with people"

 

"well of-course Yuri! If STRONK Russian solider is not to be bothered by that anomaly he is surely to withstand even the most intense physiological warfare"
