"Although there is considerable debate on whether the High Standard HDM or the Welrod came first, one thing is sure: this is the most famous integrally-suppressed pistol ever made. Its purposefully crude and unassuming appearance earned it many nicknames, such as "The Rod," "Pipe Gun," or "Pocket air pump," hinting at its intended purpose: covert operations. The magazine is encased in vulcanized hard rubber and functions as the pistol grip. It will shoot with the magazine removed - if you can find a way to hold it. Although legends say the current-production Welrod was based on an actual clandestine design made from scrap metal that was later copied by the Proving Grounds, no evidence ever surfaced. Today, the Welrod is largely famous for being a stereotypical assassin pistol, held in the same regard as the PPK or the HDM." |
