The DeLisle Commando Carbine, a WWII British special forces weapon, was a unique conversion of the SMLE rifle to fire .45 ACP. Developed for covert operations, its design prioritized suppression using a 7.25-inch barrel and a large baffle system, leveraging the subsonic nature of the .45 ACP cartridge. Production was limited, with around 130 units made, and many later saw service in Malaysia.

The De Lisle Carbine, a suppressed bolt-action rifle based on the Lee-Enfield Mk. III action, was developed for WWII clandestine operations. Chambered in .45 ACP for subsonic performance, it achieved remarkable quietness, reportedly around 85.5 dB, with effective ranges of 50-200 meters. Approximately 130 were produced by Sterling Armaments, with rare variants like the paratrooper model.
