    Interesting article, but you probably need to look at this one first.

    I had to read some of those sentences two or three times before I could figure out what they were talking about.

    "Quiet Special Purpose Revolver (QSPR, also known as 'tunnel gun' or 'tunnel gun ") . . . "

    "Quiet Special Purpose Revolver (QSPR) were based on commercially available Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum revolvers, rebuilt by AAI their special integrally silenced ammunition to handle."

    "Earliest prototypes new very short smooth-bore, equipped with 0.40 "/ 10mm bore and cylinder chambers reamed to QSPR ammunition represented externally metal cased .410 gauge shotgun shells Internally, the QSPR ammunition was very different to accept."

    "Primers were deep down put in the cartridge base by screw-in socket and additional anvil, the bang of the gavel over to the primer (cartridges manufactured for the tests in 1971 had no intervening anvils)."

    "It should be noted that no sites had QSPR revolvers because they were intended for use at point-blank ranges and very low visibility in the tunnels."

    The article is about a special 44 Magnum Smith developed for Vietnam. I have no clue what else you are reading into the article.

    Incidentally, that is a cartridge you are unlikely ever to find in a private collection. The ATF ruled that EACH CARTRIDGE was a suppressor, and subject to the 1934 NFA.
