This was just way too cool not to share. I never knew a weapon like this existed then. Think what we could do with a "silent" killer?

Personally do not like wiki at all but I believe a weapon like this could benefit a fighting force greatly.

Girandoni air rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Girardoni air rifle was an airgun designed by Tyrolian inventor Bartholomäus Girardoni circa 1779. The weapon was also known as the Windbüchse ("wind rifle" in German). One of the rifle's more famous associations is its use on the Lewis and Clark Expedition to explore and map the western part of North America in the early 1800s.
