Brügger & Thomet VP9
The Brügger & Thomet VP9 is a 9x19mm integrally suppressed pistol. In form and function it is heavily based on the WWII era Welrod Pistol sharing the same layout, a removable magazine which is part of the grip, and a manual bolt action operated by a circular knob at the rear of the weapon. Unlike the Welord however, the pistol is not marketed as a military weapon being instead intended as a humane animal killer for agricultural, hunting and veterinary use (the model name of the pistol is a contraction of "Veterinary Pistol 9mm").
The suppressor features a series of removable silicone wipes and baffles which significantly reduce the report of the pistol to around 129db with standard FMJ ammunition. Although incredibly efficient, this suppressor design has a short life expectancy of only 20 rounds (the baffles are however field replaceable in only a few minutes requiring no tools). For this reason the pistol also ships with a "practice" suppressor with a fully aluminium design, allowing for more cost effective training.
