BTW, when I first proposed this idea to Gary Mack back when the movie JFK came out, he immediately responded with words to the effect that, then you are talking about a handgun!
Can you believe that? In 1992, Gary Mack had never heard of the work of Mitch Werbell.
Who I am pretty sure diagrammed that chart on p. 15 that Carol calls Figure 4. Boy is that fascinating.
Talk about professionals.
Gary Mack would have referred to the de Lisle Carbine as a handgun for the simple fact this weapon fired .45 ACP pistol ammunition at subsonic velocities (830 fps muzzle velocity) making it, essentially, a handgun with a long barrel and stock.
That wasn't the context of the conversation Bob. It was the use of silencers in general. And Gary jumped to the conclusion that it would have to be a handgun.
Which as Carol shows is not the case.
