The odd-looking De Lisle carbine was the Frankenstein monster of rifles, made up of pistol, rifle, and submachine gun parts.
Origins
The De Lisle rifle was designed to arm British Commandos for secret, silent operations in Europe during the Second World War. And the rifle, actually a carbine, filled a special niche role: it was small, light-weight — and most importantly, one of if not the quietest rifle produced during the Second World War.

The day is rapidly approaching where such a carbine would be setup her in the US. I wonder how hard the would be to reverse engineer?
Aaaaargh, stupid auto complete, setup should be useful.
About as loud as a moderate velocity air rifle.
It's just an integrally-suppressed carbine. Not hard at all.
Here's where you can buy them today:

Leave it to the Brits...or the French..to come up an absolute POS firearm. The last decent rifle they came up with was the Lee Enfield over 100 years ago. And a pistol...never.
hat’s Steampunk right there.

Back in the 80s and early 90s the plans for homemade weapons were widely distributed to anyone who was interested.
Depends what your end goals are. There aren’t many pistol caliber bolt actions out there. The Ruger 77/44 was the most recent.

The Maxim Silencer was based off of the mufflers on cars, and are actually not that complex, the tricky part would be modifying the firearm to be suppressed, depending on the barrel, action, etc. It a the type of thing a hobby machinist could do on a mini lathe. When you start looking at cans going on a semi-auto pistols (with the exception of .22 caliber, and blowback pistols in larger calibers Walther PPK, HiPoint pistols, etc.), a Neilson Device, or Booster Piston usually needs to be part of the design to help cycle the pistol.
There are 350 million weapons around. I’m worried about ammo.

There's a ton of different integrally-suppressed firearms.
But nothing says 'you care' more than sending a .45 ACP...
I’m just a little bit suspicious that onthebrink is none other than a reinvented, 2021 sock of our old buddy W1n1, and 19fortyfive is a new ASJ.
I wonder who the new editor is. This is consistently readable, at any rate.
