	The '''Welrod''' is an unusual British-designed bolt-action, integrally suppressed pistol designed for covert operations during World War II. Designed by Major Hugh Reeves, the designer of the integral suppressor for the [[Sten Mk II(S)]], at the secret Special Operations Executive research and production factory, Station IX, located in an old mansion near Welwyn Garden City, its name takes the ''Wel'' prefix used by every device designed there, with ''rod'' coming from its shape. The weapon is known as one of the quietest ever designed, producing about 73 decibels, and even less if the gun was fired in contact with the target, something the cutaway muzzle was designed to facilitate. The suppressor design is fairly unique, featuring an expansion chamber in the rear followed by a sequence of 14 metal baffles and three rubber wipes which do not have holes in them, meaning the first 10-15 rounds punch through the wipes and then have the rubber seal behind them. It was said to be very difficult to recognise the report of the Welrod with a new set of wipes as a gunshot at ranges over fifteen feet. Effective range was given as about 25 yards, but it was generally used at ranges of 13 yards or less.
