The '''Knight's Armament Revolver Rifle''' is a sound-suppressed carbine that is built around the [[Ruger Super Redhawk]] revolver. The weapon was created in 1992 as a close-range accurate survival rifle. Although it was based on a revolver, noise reduction was accomplished through specialized ammunition and design characteristics: Upon firing, a sleeve around each cartridge extended forward to seal the gap between the revolver's cylinder and barrel. Combined with a sound suppressor, the weapon's noise signature was only 119 dB (see [http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?24981-Knight-Armament-s-Silent-Revolver-Rifle here] for more on the weapon). | |||
The Knight's Armament Revolver Rifle never entered general production and is extremely rare today.
