Silent But Deadly: Welrod Mk IIA


Is it a suppressor? AOW? Both?

Any prints on the design worth looking at if you wanted to build one?

Why would it be an AOW? It's just an integrally suppressed handgun isn't it?

Single shot bolt action. The mag is the grip and the gun can function without it so it's essentially like a baton style gun. It was commonly passed as a bicycle tire pump during WWII.

I know what a Welrod is. They’ve madebolt action handguns forever. I was just wondering why you thought it would be a AOW

Just hold the slide shut on a modern suppressed handgun. Now it's a straight-pull until you fire it again.

Welrods are cool though. It'd be neat to have a historical example.
Not sure I'd ever pay B&T VP9 money. It's neither historical nor practical. Still cool however.

Yeah, I'd make one, but never pay that price for it.

Innovative Arms has teased a version with an accurate outside appearance but with their modern baffle stack.  Looks great and they are saying $1200-1400 if they make it.

One day I will make one.  I'm thinking a integral top end that will that will fit either a glock frame or a 1911 frame.  I haven't decided which frame to use yet.
