They should totally add "xXx" to both sides of that name.

“The Silent Destroyer” *the 12-year old in my head giggles a little*

For those like myself who were wondering: Final prices include buyers premium: $1,599.00

Its name reminds me of those low budget fps games

3:17 "We know this is a proper, Ruger factory magazine, because it's really annoying to get out of the gun" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

An elegant weapon designed for a more civilized time, and also hunting.

"Silent Destroyer"? That's some Shadow the Edgehog-grade edge, there...

Would be neat if you could fire with a sound meter to compare to other more traditional suppressed firearms.

Ian: "Bergman" Everyone: Shivers in fear.

A very practical round to suppress, as you can load a much heavier than normal bullet, say 360-400 gr, and keep it just under the sound barrier. All while staying within safe pressure levels due to the platform style.

I have a factory 77/44 and it's a lot of fun to shoot. The magazine actually holds 4 rounds, not 3 like Ian mentioned

'The Silent Destroyer' etched on the side, Very silent on use, hella loud design

I know a guy that uses on of those to reduce the deer population in the city of Chicago. (BTW-it is his job to do that.)

"What if we just made the barrel a suppressor?"

kinda weird seeing a modernized version of a historical weapon, at least such a rare historical weapon as well.

"...a silent carbine that could be used to shoot sentries and dogs..." Some 15,000 police and sheriff's departments just ordered millions to help expand their War on Dogs.

“... shoot dogs and that type of thing” ATF: you’ve peaked my interest please continue

"Could be used to shoot dogs" please don't give the BATF any ideas lol

I love guns like this that have massive suppressors.

Why do i imagine this something james bond would use ?

Back when I was doing contract engineering for AAC, I asked them why they no longer made their integrally suppressed Ruger 77/44 guns. They told me that Ruger quality control at that time was so bad that the guns were too inaccurate and they basically had to shoot each new gun to determine if it was accurate before converting it. I don't remember the number of rejects to good guns but, it was astounding the number they discarded for each good gun. I have also heard its better to set the barrel back and chamber strictly for 44 special since the guns are very inaccurate typically shooting 44 special in the 44 mag chamber.

The swiss staybehind commandos got something very similar. Made by sig.

Suppressors should have never been regulated, it is a hearing safety issue

For clarification: at 2:00 I think Ian misspoke when he said that "If the bullet's going _subsonic,_ no suppressor is going to do anything to make that any quieter." I'm pretty sure he meant to say "supersonic"...but thought I should post this, just in case anyone got confused.

G'day again Forgotten Weapons team. Just wanted to say, once again you've made an interesting, informative, informed and mature video without being dry. Bloody well done.

Man, I've been subscribed for more than a couple years now, and I have to say, there are very few channels on KZfaq that I learn as much as on this one. You seriously know your shit/research it, and I find you're one of the few KZfaqrs that I actually deem my time's worth spending to watch the videos entirely, from beginning to end. And I just wanted to say thanks for that :) I get genuinely enthralled in the information you present and find it hard to stop short of one of your videos. Hope this tradition of yours continues for many more years my friend :)

The kick is that it actually fired on the first trigger pull.

A couple years ago my dad and I ran into Tom at a gun show in Portland and we talked to him for a couple hours. He's quite the character.

The DeLisle Commando Carbine is actually the rifle used by Kate Archer in the old No One Lives Forever game (The first one at least, I never played the others). I didn't know it back when I first played it, but turns out it was a real thing!

"How much suppression do you want?" "The whole barrel" "What?" "Whole thing"

I've got a H&R Handi rifle in .44 mag with a 20'' barrel. I've loaded 240 grain lead cast at about 500 fps and it is super quiet even without a suppressor.

Whenever Ian has a supressed weapon, i want to hear it shoot. I would really like to hear just how quiet this rifle can be.

Great rifle conversion. I often wonder why the British Military did not use the Martini Henry for this purpose. OK single shot but very quick to reload and 100% foolproof for the purpose it would serve. There are still brand new ones in stock at the Enfield Armoury even today (in case another Zulu war starts) so plenty around in WW2. They have been converted to fire just about everything from 410 to12 gauge.

Thank you , Ian .

I really wish you could take this out on the range. Getting to hear it fire is such a big part of a suppressed firearm.

That is possibly the coolest looking gun I have ever seen. Great video 👍

I really hope you can take this to a range and have fun with it. Nice video

1:48 “The speed of sOUnd”

I've met Tom Denall a couple of times Heckuva dude. Good to see him getting some well deserved press. I've also heard his guns fired a few times. Really quiet!

Great piece! Interesting set up after moving forward with/to a working caliber. My mind instantly spooled up to a custom 77, or 700 action in .357Mag, .41Mag, .444Marlin, .30 carbine, and the like. Yeah, custom handloads for subsonic, but Toy's and Gadgets!! Woo Hoo!! Thanks Ian!!

I was just thinking about an updated DeLisle yesterday......are you reading my mind Ian?

This would be perfect for Deer hunting, especially east of the Mississippi. I wouldn't be surprised if this is what deer herd reduction professionals use.

Oh man. That thing is beautiful. Would love to see a video of you firing it, Ian, even though I know it's a low possibility. The last few vids have been great, dude!

Really neat gun, love suppressor designs.

It’s amazing how even after years of watching I keep finding videos by Ian that I haven’t yet seen. I wonder if one day I‘ll have seen everything he ever released on KZfaq

Tom Denall must’ve read my mind. I love the idea of the DeLisle system, and I’ve always wondered about how you’d modernize it. My idea was to have it be select fire with straight-pull bolt action, semi-auto and maybe full auto. Since I’d be adding automatic components, though, I’d need to muffle the sound of the action. I think you could go about that with a padded brass catcher over the ejection port, or you could have it eject out the bottom into a bag. This way, you have maximum silence for the roles that the DeLisle was intended for, but you also have automatic operation for when you need to use it more like an MP5SD.

Btw, the “crack” of the projectile can be controlled by projectile design, it means a very long projectile with a long pointed nose and tapered stern. Not very practical in most instances but able to be done in a de Lisle conversion

I didn't realize the 9mm Largo, 9mm Bergmann-Bayard and the 9mm Bayard Long (9x23mm) were all the same. Thanks Ian, you always teach me something new!

"Could be used to kill dogs" ATF enters chat

Could use an upgrade to Desert Eagle magazines but is super awesome.

What a pretty carbine! Thanks for introducing 👍

This is something I always dreamed of! I love it!

very cool

With a name like "Silent Destroyer," I half-expected this to be another edgy Cobray disaster. The real explanation was honestly more interesting.

Had a Ruger 44 mag lever action with the integral suppression. Best deer and hog gun EVER

It never occurred to me that being sub-sonic would be an issue. Always a pleasure to get these little bits of information.

That's a fine lookin' little Rifle.

"OMG, a silent gun! He's gonna kill us all!" Shaddup, ya loon! This is for target practice in your backyard. Don't wanna disturb the neighbors.

These were definitely some cool guns. Sort of a spiritual successor to the DeLisle carbines and the soviet VSS Vintorez / AS Val carbines used by special units. A consideration for someone wanting to use heavy bullets is that the twist rate might not stabilize a heavy bullet. AWC silencers was doing internally suppress conversions a few years ago and if someone has a 77/357 or 77/44 hanging around they'd probably still do a conversion today. Or if ruger got interested they could do a take-down internally suppressed run. That would be pretty sweet if they did.

Very Cool bolt action rifle Ian an thanks for showing it Sir

Thank you GunJesus, very cool

We need a test firing to verify the sound level.

At it's core, really good suppressor humor Ian.

Ya know ... you would think that someone who has done as little actual shooting in the last few decades as I have wouldn't find videos like this fascinating ... but I do. Thanks Ian. .

"Made to shoot sentries or dogs" ATF Wants to know your location

I have a Ruger 77/357 that I love. Now I want a can for it

I’ve shot one of those, it’s an awesome gun. Tom Denall does really good work.

What a beautiful gun!

How about comparing the "young" and the "old" in a shoot out ? That will be very interesting.... Cronies ,decibel ect. A real modern day real shout-out !

I own a 77/44 and the magazine holds 4 rounds not 3 as stated in the video. Cheers,

That is an extremely classy-looking gun. Cheers for the video Gun Jesus.

I have one of the original TD Mfg Silent Destroyers in .45 built on the Spanish Destroyer. Had several of the Ruger versions as well. Denall is a super-smart, and super-nice guy.

One of these days I'm going to get a Destroyer carbine to go with my Astra 400.

Absolutely beautiful gun perfect in form and function my new dream firearm

I fired an original delisle 45 ACP. Deadly quiet, hell of a bullet drop and half of the 303 magazine acted as a 45 mag the other rear compartment acted as a case catcher. I'd love to own a modern version

Can you please do a video on the 50 Alaskan cartridge?

Pop an ATN night vis scope on it and do some night time bacon foraging runs.

In the UK a company called Law Enforcement International produced a number of delisle style firearms. The made versions of the original using a lee enfield number 4 action and Colt mags. They also produced a remington 700 in .308 with an integral moderator designed for using 200grn sub sonic loads. They're both a lot of fun

Another amazing sermon!

A good video as always, Ian. BTW, I think you misspelled "Spanish" with "Sanish" in the description XDD

Lets make a stealth rifle: Makes it shinny chrome😂

That receiver is very satisfyingly shiny.

Now that's pretty neat! I'd love to have that in my safe!!!

Immediate problem I see...having such a large part, or really any part of a gun designed for stealthy work so bright and shiny. That is certainly not "silent" in a visual sense by any means. In any event, I would definitely like to see a video of this being shot on the range.

They should have called it the _Silent But Deadly_

This is a seriously cool looking gun.

This is very impressive.

The size of this suppressor begs a question! Could an integrated stock and barrel combination perhaps have a hollow body stock, and allow even more gas expansion into the unused body of the gun? Seems possible, I wonder if it has been tried?

That thing is crazy. Please tell me your going to do a shooting test vid.

that red dot sight fits the gun so well

I can say for sure! Very effective weapon!

Our daily gun Jesus teachings.

If it weren’t for the fact that I refuse to pay the government 200 dollars to own a certain type of firearm, this would be my new coyote rifle

I have a Ruger 77/357. Awesome rifle. Totally want to do this to mine!

Such a nice rifle 😎

I feel like this is one of the named upgrades you'd get in Fallout New Vegas.

Your keeping tabs on BFV aren't you?...

5:20 The Silent Destroyer uses a 9" barrel with a permanently attached inner tube to make the length more than 16" inches. The entire outer tube is effectively the expansion chamber of the suppressor. The inner tube vents to the outer tube until the blast baffle. The baffles are all contained in the inner tube. The outer tube is not permanently attached. The SD does not use a ported barrel. That is/was one of its greatest selling points. With an unported barrel and take apart design, you can use cast lead bullets in it. The other designs on the market, when I bought mine, were either ported or sealed designs, requiring the use of jacketed ammunition. 6:01: What you see at the end is the end-cap for the inner tube. The cap is slightly bigger on the muzzle end to retain the outer tube cap. Remove it and you can remove the outer tube cap and outer tube. The baffles can then be removed from the inner tube with the puller tool. There is a tool kit that comes with the gun to do all of this. You can see that kit on the auction page with the Ruger rings. Pretty sure it uses M-baffles in the inner tube, but its been awhile since I've had mine apart. If you're interested in a followup video, I can take mine apart and supply photos of the internals. Feel free to add this information to the description or ask me any other questions about the design.

Hey Ian I really enjoy your videos as they are informative and very fun to watch. A video I'd particularly enjoy if you were able to get your hands on one would be on a Beretta 93r (the burst pistol) as ive seen it in many video games and other famous movies but I really have no idea how they work or if they are even practical. Your review of the H&K vp-70m got me thinking about that gun. Nonetheless keep up the great work and thanks for your plentiful information on not so popular firearms!

This gun is recently added to the Medic class in Battlefield V
