This video analyzes German L23 and L27 silencers developed during WWII. The L23 is identified as a direct copy of the Soviet Bramit silencer, designed for the K98k rifle with a front sight attachment. Subsequent development led to the L27, which utilized the rifle grenade spigot clamp for attachment and was intended for a broader range of German 8mm small arms including the K98k, G43/K43, and MP44/StG44. The L27, like the Bramit, was designed for subsonic ammunition, with a range table for subsonic rounds engraved on the suppressor body. Production of the L27 was cut short in late 1944 due to rubber shortages.
