twiglet Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Ok im hoping this is the right place for this, im really getting quite into this WW2 airsoft kick and i would like the idea of a silenced pistol to go with the general loadout. The only real thing i could find was a welrod bolt action pistol which didnt look very possible so ive been looking around for other stuff, one thing i remembered was playing sniper elite which seemed fairly historically accurate and i remembered that there was a silenced p38 pistol in the game, now im not sure if this was something just made up for the game but it got me interested and i was wondering, did it exist in real life and how didfficult would an airsoft version be to make.

Mike_West Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Not very difficult, I saw a silencer attachment for a P38, pretty much like the one for Beretta (screws to the end of the barrel), and IIRC it's historically accurate. Link to post Share on other sites
dannyboy Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Was an NBB made a while back. Rare as rocking horse poo now "Marushin P38 Gestapo With Silencer" Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 But there was also a 14mm rifled outer barrel attachment, like the one for M9, I saw it recently in a local airsoft shop. The one on your photo looks sexy, though. Cate Archer had exactly same one in NOLF1. Link to post Share on other sites

Wingman Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Love that short P38. Brings back memories of the old Man from Uncle TV show. I used to have a MGC non-firing model of it about 20years ago. Wish I could find another. Link to post Share on other sites

BigAl Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 To answer the original question a silenced P38 was never factory produced that I am aware of. Though they have been custom built over the years. The design is so suitable for silencing as it has an exposed barrel that does not tilt upon firing. This means the weight of a can isn't gonna affect the action and it would be easy to thread and fit one to the barrel You could even port the barrel and fit the can over these port to greatly enhance the performance of the can, like the Silenced Sterling.
