This video from Armament Research Services (ARES) provides an in-depth look at the rare DeLisle carbine, a British silenced firearm developed during World War II. The DeLisle was a unique conversion of the SMLE rifle chambered in .45 ACP, utilizing modified 1911 pistol magazines and featuring a substantial integral suppressor. The description highlights its exceptionally quiet operation due to the subsonic round, large suppressor volume, and sound-dampening bolt handle. Intended for special forces, it differed from the Welrod pistol's role. The video showcases a prototype, standard production models, and the only known folding stock variant, emphasizing the scarcity of original examples despite reproduction efforts.
