![Alcoholic Ammo - Gurevich Revolver [1944]](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/274c14b1-6367-44d4-9fc4-3abc36875dd9.jpeg){kind=link}
This 5 shot 7.62 caliber double action revolver is actually suppressed by its unique cartridge design.
When fired expanding gases from the gunpowder pushed a plug forward which inturn pushed the liquid solution (60% alcohol 40% glycerol). This incompressible solution pushed on the bullet to launch it out of the revolver’s barrel. The gases were contained in the cartridge preventing the typical sound report of a gunshot. And the liquid would follow the subsonic bullet out of the barrel as well.
So you get a shot of vodka with every bullet? How very Russian.
Is better to see in light - come closer to window.
