The De Lisle Carbine, a WWII-era integrally suppressed bolt-action rifle, is examined for its exceptional quietness. Developed for clandestine operations, it converted Lee-Enfield rifles to fire .45 ACP using a massive integral suppressor, achieving historically low sound levels around 85-86 dB. Modern comparisons show it outperforms many contemporary suppressed firearms, with its report becoming indistinguishable from ambient noise at 100 yards.

This review delves into the rare De Lisle Commando Carbine prototype, a suppressed bolt-action rifle developed for specialized WWII commando operations. Jonathan Ferguson of the Royal Armouries details its unique .45 ACP caliber choice for subsonic performance, modified Lee-Enfield action for silence, and integral suppressor design with 13 baffles. The discussion covers its origins, prototype vs. production differences, and limited historical usage in conflicts like the Malayan Emergency.

This video offers a book review of Ian Skennerton's "Special Service Lee-Enfields: Commando and Auto Models," Volume 13 of his Small Arms Identification series. The book, though concise at 47 pages, focuses heavily on the silenced de Lisle carbine and also details various Lee Enfield semi-automatic and full-automatic conversions, including the New Zealand Charlton, Australian Electrolux Charlton, South African Reider, British Howell, and Howard Francis blowback carbine. The reviewer highlights its value as a print reference for these niche firearms.
