This video examines a unique Bulgarian Makarov pistol featuring a slide-locking mechanism designed to reduce noise during suppressed firing. Unlike typical slide locks aimed at brass concealment, this modification prevents the slide from cycling, thereby minimizing the sound of escaping gas and chambering a new round, which are significant noise contributors even with subsonic ammunition. The presenter highlights that this is not a factory variant but an interesting custom modification. The video also provides links to a silenced pistol playlist, research opportunities at the Royal Armouries, firearms reference books, and the presenter's supporting platforms.
