			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The MP5SD is the integrally suppressed version of the famous MP5 submachine gun. This video, taken by the <a href="http://www.thorgdg.com/">THOR Group</a>, shows just how silent the gun is. </p>
<p>Unlike most videos on YouTube the sound on this video is very clear and you can distinctively hear that a lot of the noise is caused by the bolt itself, rather than the escaping gas. </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dYSXHhjbqmQ&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dYSXHhjbqmQ&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>One of the reasons I love my suppressed .22 bolt gun is that there is no noise from the action other than the firing pin smashing the case rim.</p>
<p>Thanks to Max for the link.</p>

<p>The Winnipeg Sun <a href="http://www.winnipegsun.com/news/winnipeg/2009/01/13/8003296-sun.html">reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Possibly homemade, the submachine-gun and five sawed-off shotguns, along with ammunition, were seized at a house in the 400-block of Manitoba Avenue on Jan. 7, police said.</p>
<p>Three males, aged 17, 27 and 28, are facing almost 120 charges.</p></blockquote>
<p>If it is homemade whoever made it did a very good job. Either it is homemade or of a pre-1950ish design. Note that  it has a non-telescoping bolt resulting in a long receiver.</p>
<p>At first I thought it may be an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP-40">MP-40</a>, but it is not. Can anyone here identify it? Please provide a link to a photo in the comments if you can.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.sinodefence.com/army/small_arms/type79smg.asp">SinoDefense</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Type 79 submachine gun is more or less patterned after the Type 56 (AK-47) assault rifle. It uses gas-operated, rotary bolt action with short stroke gas piston located above barrel. The bolt group and fire mode/safety switch are similar to those of the Type 56 rifle. The barrel, receiver, pistol grip, magazine and shoulder stock are all made from stamped steel. The weapon fires 7.62 X 25mm pistol cartridge in either single or fully automatic mode. Ammunitions are fed from a straight box magazine that holds 20 rounds. Shoulder stock folds up and forward when not in use.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.defensetech.org/archives/003785.html">Bryant @ Defense Tech</a> writes about his experience testing the H&#38;K USC .45 carbine</p>
<blockquote><p>During demonstration firings of the weapon here at Blackwater USA&#8217;s training grounds, Military.com was invited to shoot up some targets using the Kriss and, for comparison, H&#38;K&#8217;s USC .45 carbine.</p>
<p>Though another submachine gun might have made for a better assessment, TDI obviously was comfortable with the H&#38;K choice for the purpose of evaluating recoil. The Kriss certainly won out, though the H&#38;K did not give a severe kick either, and TDI chief operating officer Chuck Kushell acknowledged his competitor made a fine weapon.</p></blockquote>
