This week, we received a Russian Nagant Revolver equipped with a silencer. Was this revolver used in a plot to assassinate the "Big Three" during WW2?

It’s literally the only type of revolver that can work with a suppressor. To my knowledge no other revolver has a similar system. Some collectors have actually suppressed their Nagant revolver. Plenty of videos on KZbin of them firing along with the sound data.

My immediate thought as well. Looks like an MTs-4, which was "standard" target configuration for competition shooting. Problem is those were manufactured in the 50s, so they wouldn't have been captured by the Germans and reissued. I don't know much about German suppressors so I wouldn't be able to say where that one came from. I don't want to accuse it of being a fake, but I doubt it's association with the Tehran conference.

I have a very rare Nagant in my collection. It is a presentation nagant given to an officer named Navrotski from Verishilov in Nov 1939. (The spelling is probably wrong) It may have been awarded because of a border conflict where Nevrotski convinced the locals to fight on the Russian side and ultimately defeated the Japanese. I would love you to showcase it.

It’s the Nagant's 7.62x38mm cartridge that helps seal the cylinder gap. The cartridge is held completely within the case which extends, when the weapon is cocked, the cylinder will move slightly forward, into the neck of the barrel effectively creating a seal and thereby ensuring that the propellant gases are ejected through the barrel and if fitted. a suppressor. The M1895 Nagant is the only revolver that can be effectively suppressed other weapons must not be in a condition to self load if required to suppress the discharge as the gases would escape from this process hence the English Welrod is single shot, bolt actioned, manually loaded/reloaded pistol while the De Lisle carbine with a fully integrated suppressor still needed reduced subsonic ammunition to be effective.

@@edgarburlyman738 The bullet would have to be seated within the neck of the case ie the nose of the bullet is completely within the case, you can’t see it, if you run a finger over the top of the case it’s smooth. The mechanism of the revolver would have to, on cocking, move forward sealing the cylinder gap and seating the cartridge firmly in the neck of the barrel. The Nagant was not produced as a platform for a suppressor the system was developed to increase the velocity of the cartridge by containing all the expanding gases within the barrel behind the bullet.

In the book 'Competitive Shooting' by A.A. Yur Yev (English Translation done by NRA 1973) on page 144, illustration 'A' there is a picture of this gun without the silencer. The grips and heavy barrel were added to make it easier to handle. The Soviets had quite a strong Sports program which included shooting almost every piece of equipment they had. There was a category for Revolvers. This Nagant was part of that program. Thanks for making this great video.

Very interesting that you would mention that book! I was one of the individuals (links in a chain, so to speak) who got that book translated into English and published by the NRA. At the time I was a graduate student in the Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland, a former member of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit International Rifle Section (1967-1969), and a then current (~1972) and very active competitor in International Rifle matches here in the U.S. I had gotten a copy of the book, in its Russian edition, in the Russian language, from a friend John H. Writer. Jack Writer was one of the best shooters in the world at that time, (Olympic Silver 1968, Olympic Gold 1972, etc.) Jack had been given this book by someone on the Russian Shooting Team at some international match. At that time I was working on some psychology projects with MAJ E.J. Land USMC, who was at the time the Marksmanship Coordinator at Headquarters U.S. Marine Corp in Washington, DC. (Maj Land had been a central figure in USMC sniping during the Viet Nam war. And years later Secretary of the NRA.) I passed the Russian language edition of the Yur'Yev book on to MAJ Land who had it xeroxed, and translated into English by an inactive duty USMC Reserve Intelligence Unit. The USMC translators did a good job language-wise, but they were not familiar with the technical terminology of the shooting sport. MAJ Land passed the translation on to the NRA where it was edited by two interns, Matt ???? and Marsha Beasley ( Then a hot junior shooter and today the rifle team coach at Ole Miss). After editing "The Russian Manual" by Yur'Yev as we referred to it was published by the NRA.

Thank you very much for your reply. Your story is more interesting than the revolver story. Perhaps it is the makings of a future video by Legacy. I have heard of Jack Writer and have also heard very vague stories over the years about world class shooters assisting with US Army and Marine Marksmanship in various capacities during the Viet Nam Era. Your story also describes the process of how a handful of 'on the ball' servicemen and woman can make things happen. I have had the book for around 2 decades. I and my wife both shoot here at Bisley. We moved to the UK from Canada about 5 years ago an live 5 minutes from the ranges so that it would be easier to shoot. Now with climate change here in the UK, we can shoot 49 weeks a year. I dragged the book off the shelf to review my prone position last year when I was making some changes. I also have reviewed the trigger pull section and changed the position of my trigger finger after 35 years of shooting. I have learned a lot from the book. Thank you for your contribution to the sport and my personal shooting.

The Nagant revolver has been used often as silenced revolver. The gas sealing is not generated by the closure of the cylinder in the cone. The cartridge case has an „overlenght“ in relation to the cylinder. You can see the front shape of the cylinder is shorter than it seems. The cartridge enters the barrel part and closes the gap between cylinder and barrel absolutely gas proof at the moment the projectile passes this area. A lot of silenced nagants have a much shorter barrel and an eccentric silencer. Very interesting gun. Thanks for the video 😊.

@@e-mail8580 I have not checked the Fiocchi out, but the PMC ammo IIRC was down loaded a bit. A hundred grain bullet at maybe 750 ft/sec instead of close to a 1000. 750 fps is close to what a .32 S&W is supposed to do. And there is some other ammo I tried and it extremely underloaded. For those in the UK, my heartfelt sympathy for your plight. We 200 years ago fought a serious war to get rid of the same scum that rule the current UK. My local county government have pledged to support our 2nd amendment and the sheriff says he encourages people to shoot and kill home invaders. At the moment I have put my nagant and other fun guns away as I prepared for what may be some very bad things that may come. I have to make sure I have decent gardens and what is needed for self defense.

Nope. Not the M1895 Nagant. .25acp baby Brownings were vastly preferred due to absence of recoil and light trigger pull. To achieve the gas seal, the Nagant requires a trigger pull that is better suited to an adult chimp. Even the SA pull is heavier than any SA trigger should be.

My grandfather was a WW2 vet. He never really told me about his service, but he did claim he was a mechanic in the Army Air Corps. I know thats a blatant lie because he wasnt mechanically inclined at all. Anyways, I do know he was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood and before he died he gave me a silver senior pilot wing pin. Why would a mechanic have a senior pilot pin? After he died I was going through some of his things and came across that green patch with the red scimitar on it. I also remember him teaching me some hand to hand combat techniques when I was a young kid because I was into martial arts. Years later, in my mid 20s, I realized what he taught me was the same stuff Rex Applegate taught the OSS. Its also kinda strange that he knew how to pack a parachute. Now I'm wondering what the hell he really did!

I thought that Komandos was used in one of the Boer x anglo wars of the later 19th century. Google: From the perspective of the early modern era the word stems from the Dutch word kommando, which translates as "a command or order" and also roughly to "mobile infantry regiment". This term originally referred to units of Boer mounted infantry, who fought during the Xhosa Wars and the First and Second Boer Wars. By the way I have met former portuguese commandos back in the 1970's

If I saw the assassin I'd be very scared but I'd probably have enough time to compliment his very exceptional revolver before I get hit knock on wood 🤔

A chemical or biological agent would have been a better choice for an attempt on the Big 3. Why would you go through the trouble of using a not great Soviet pistol just to stamp the Van Halen logo everywhere! ;)

Any gun mfg. Could have made a gun to shoot the Russian bullet. Shooting the Russian bullet in a ppk for instance would have left the casing behind also as further proof of the Russian gunman.

You could never get a PPK to fire 7..62 nagant. The nagant uses a 38mm case, the PPK used a 17mm case it could never feed a cartridge of that length (never mind the fact that rimmed, straight walled cartridges are especially difficult) and the cases fired from a semi auto have telltale marks left behind.

The nagant isn’t the only revolver that’s suppress-able there’s the OTS-38 the QSPR, the Roke arms 357 revolver and other obscure examples. The us even suppressed like 200 38’s for the tunnels in Vietnam. Between this and the goof on the obviously not a 9mm revolver it makes me question the rest of the story. Looks like a nagant someone tried to turn into a target pistol. Look at the rear sight and the massive grip, an assassin wouldn’t just shoot Olympian if trying to make a headshot, and he’s probably use a much easier suppress-able/concealable automatic

@brianpage1886 Very interesting that you would mention that book! I was one of the individuals (links in a chain, so to speak) who got that book translated into English and published by the NRA. At the time I was a graduate student in the Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland, a former member of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit International Rifle Section (1967-1969), and a then current (~1972) and very active competitor in International Rifle matches here in the U.S. I had gotten a copy of the book, in its Russian edition, in the Russian language, from a friend John H. Writer. Jack Writer was one of the best shooters in the world at that time, (Olympic Silver 1968, Olympic Gold 1972, etc.) Jack had been given this book by someone on the Russian Shooting Team at some international match. At that time I was working on some psychology projects with MAJ E.J. Land USMC, who was at the time the Marksmanship Coordinator at Headquarters U.S. Marine Corp in Washington, DC. (Maj Land had been a central figure in USMC sniping during the Viet Nam war. And years later Secretary of the NRA.) I passed the Russian language edition of the Yur'Yev book on to MAJ Land who had it xeroxed, and translated into English by an inactive duty USMC Reserve Intelligence Unit. The USMC translators did a good job language-wise, but they were not familiar with the technical terminology of the shooting sport. MAJ Land passed the translation on to the NRA where it was edited by two interns, Matt ???? and Marsha Beasley ( Then a hot junior shooter and today the rifle team coach at Ole Miss). After editing "The Russian Manual" by Yur'Yev as we referred to it was published by the NRA.
