This video from the Brownells Vault features a deep dive into the Chinese Type 64 pistol, a unique firearm developed in the early 1960s. Unlike pistols with external suppressors, the Type 64 boasts an integral suppressor with rubber baffles and brass mesh, alongside an expansion chamber below the barrel. It fires a dedicated rimless .32 caliber (7.62x17mm) cartridge, similar to .32 ACP. The pistol can also be configured for single-shot operation by locking the slide. The featured example has a notable provenance, having been acquired by Mitch WerBell, a renowned figure in OSS, espionage, and silencer development, who obtained it after an assassination attempt in Vietnam.
