Right, but if you put one into a weapon chambered for it, then you've "modified it to reduce the sound level" or somesuch along those lines
What is the muzzle energy and muzzle speed
You wouldn't have modified anything, the gun just doesn't make a lot of noise.
well, actually there were American cartridges of similar design as well - look herebefore I stop this armed robbery with my Russian noiseless cartridges
General Geoff said:But by that logic, a firearm manufactured with an integrated suppressor wouldn't require the tax stamp either...
Surely not. First QSPR reached 'Nam in mid-1969, while i personally saw 7.62mm PZ internally silenced ammunition produced in 1965 - 4 years before first issue of QSPR, and PZ was not the first of its ilk in Soviet Spetsnaz armories.They apparently started developing these after at least one example of the US QSPR (Quiet Special Purpose Revolver) was captured in Vietnam

Of course, we're talking apple & oranges here, or "the ATF" & "logic", but I would consider an integrally silenced firearm to indeed by a "modified firearm".
