Fullbore centrefire "interrupted"semi idea

[Sim G]

it was the Smith & Wesson Model 39 that was used to become the U.S. Navy's Mk22 "Hush Puppy" suppressed pistol during the Vietnam War era. The slide release had an extension at the front end which could be pushed up to lock the slide to prevent it from reciprocating. This reduced the noise further than just suppressing the shot as there was no noise from the slide working.

HK developed the SOCOM Mk23 Mod 0. It too locks the slide for the same reasons.

Metal Gear Solid...!! Please....

ok. so it needs to not be able to reload after firing. and not readily able to be bypassed then reversed.

sticking with 1911's, could you cut a cammed hole in the side of the slide, for a modified takedown pin to ride in, to act as a slide lock as it comes back. Cammed so that you can't just hold the lock up/down so that it fires it semi/auto. built into the takedown pin so that it can't be removed and obviously modify the slide so a normal takedown pin wouldn't fit in the slide.

hmmm, but then you would need to find a way to stop any other pins being inserted...

Strangely alot of my interest in firearms came from that games series. Its no worse that getting it from western's and other films. It wasn't until Metal Gear solid 3 I knew what a Davy Crockit was, I had no idea portable nuclear warhead launchers existed. And Blackstuff was half right. the MK23 was metal gear solid in its normal firing form with a suppressor, while No 2 had the slidelocked M9, No 3 had the hush puppy and No 4 had a Ruger MK2. By Number 5 when its back in time as Big Boss his main gun is a silenced FN FNC with lots of anachronistic technology for 1975 including Walkmans and Apache Helicopters.

That and I dare anyone not to feel moved by the story lines, especially when Snake is at the end and you realize 80% of the cast has died on your watch. It's silly but it got one kid interested (though my interest was already partly there).

back to the topic at hand, I do believe an interrupted LBP is possible along with some more actions for rifles. Come back to me in a week or maybe a couple more and things will look a bit brighter.
