Spetsnaz first started carrying silenced Stechkin’s way back during their operations in Afghanistan, to great success too. Very effective in close quarters.

The cloned super soldiers that I may have to deal with are going to be tough to take down when their designed for enhanced survivability. I’m working on custom loads for contact work. The CZ-52 in Tokarev 7.62 x 25 can be loaded +P with copper mono metal to rifle velocities that will provide anti material capability. The HK 26.5 mm pistol can have an insert made up to run .30-06 steel core ap. It would need to be safety shot in a test fixture. Recoil management would also be an issue in a light handgun. The insert would probably need a muzzle brake attachment. The 26.5 mm husks can also be custom loaded for specific applications.

I treat all sentient lifeforms ethically depending on circumstances.

Best fully automatic pistol ever designed, it has zero recoil with those 9x18mm Makarov rounds.
Extreme reliabilty.
Most excellent.
