              Grenade launcher tube screwed onto the base, didn't it? This doesn't appear to be a re-purposed launcher.

                      I think it would also fit on an MP-44. I saw one for an MP-40 once at a gun show. It was rusty and I almost traded for it, but thought it was better not in my possession even thought it was a rare item. I also think that the ammo would have to be sub sonic to make it effective. So, unless the 8mm full length cartridge came in a low power variety, I would think that it would be for a kurz round or just an experimental piece and very rare.

                        The Germans did in fact, make a sub sonic 7.92x57mm cartridge (Nahpatrone) for the K98-k Schalldämpfer. They had a reduced amount of propellant to keep the muzzle velocity under 300 meters per second. If memory serves, the bullet tip was painted green, as was the base of the cartridge case.
                        I'm not aware of a 7.92x33mm Nahpatrone. Since the kurz cartridge already has a lower muzzle velocity, I would guess that reducing it to a sub sonic level might create recycling problems with the gas system??? This is only supposition on my part, and would love to hear other comments.
                        Hope this helps....

                          In the picture posted by Grand Sasso, it says Meter, and then some numbers. Do those numbers represent the equivalent setting the sites must be on, when the slower bullet is fired?

                          What is the point of having a silencer on a rifle, if in the end, a special low power bullet must be used? Is it because the precision is better with a silenced riffle then with other silenced weapons?

                            K98 silencer

                            Hi,
                            The point of a silencer is to conceal the position of the shooter and prevent the noise of the firing from alerting the enemy or other parties.
                            The reason for the use of subsonic ammunition is to eliminate the sonic crack of the bullet reflected from the ground.
                            When an aircraft flies supersonic it creates a sonic boom as it passes through the sound barrier. A bullet has the same effect. If you fire a weapon straight up into the air you only hear the sound of the firing of the cartridge. Fire the next shot as normal and it's louder because of the crack from the bullet's supersonic flight.
                            It's only in more modern films where the bullet arrives before the sound of the rifle shot. In good old Westerns our hero would hear the report of the rifle and then duck to dodge the bullet!
                            I don't know the law in other countries, but in the UK you had to have an extra entry on a Firearm Certificate for a "Sound Moderator" - mustn't call it a silencer. In my previous gun-making life I threaded many .22 rifles to take a Parker-Hale Sound Moderator.
                            This must be a very rare piece!
                            Good hunting,
                            Grossfuss

                              The sub-sonic cartridge prevents it from exceeding the speed of sound and it's accompanying sonic crack which can give away the sniper's position. The lesser velocity effects range and penetration, but is still deadly when properly used.

                              The above problem of keeping the bullet sub-sonic would hold true with any silenced weapon, not just rifles - although some pistol cartridges (not all) are sub-sonic. It's been years since studying any of this, but I think the .45acp, 9mm, 9mm kurz (.380) and .22 short are sub-sonic.
                              (anyone - please correct me if I'm wrong on this!)
                              Gary?? Bill?? Matt??
