Brass could provide evidence of the source of the shot.

i wonder why you would actually need to not leave brass, as a gov't agency, couldn't you just use a normal gun, they're going to know a shot happened when the guys head explodes, would a 9mm case really give the game away.

I would convert a bolt action, with an extractor to drop the empties in the space that used to be the box magazine and add a tube magazine in the fore-stock.

The previous typed exactly at the moment Ian said he could hear people frantically typing Nagant. Srung…..

Did the old Russian 7.62 Nagant revolver meet this requirement by sealing the cylinder gap…..

Hum! One wonders how many such "projects" have existed. Perhaps the basis for a book?

I remember an article on the revolver and ammo in a magazine (SOF?) back in the day. The yellow plastic sabots brought Speer shot caps to mind. The mouths of the sabots were countersunk to mate up with a matching cut on the exterior of the forcing cone of the barrel. This also provided a camming action to force the sabot back into the chamber when the cylinder rotated. My thoughts at the time were: cool silenced revolver; my GAWD what complicated ammo!

The smoking man on x-files used a weapon similar to this.

Thinking about it more: i would probably spend a week designing a brass catcher for a bolt-action instead of a month for a new cartridge.

Hmmm. Why not leave the gap and cover the cylinder? Some German gunsmith did that.
And: was the Ruger 77/44 not available at the time?
