Notice the unusual slide lock on the pistol? That was to prevent the pistol from self loading the next round, and made it a single shot weapon. You had to manually rack the slide for the next round, thus preventing the additional mechanical sound from a round fired.
Sooo, instead of hearing a click-click between rounds fired the bad guys heard a click...click? |
