In Vietnam I had the chance to examine a suppressed SEAL Team issued Ruger MK 1. Used for dispatching sentries and perimeter guards. It had a selective intregal bolt lock to prevent cyclic bolt clatter.

Developmental tests of the silenced Luger required subsonic ammunition for true silencing. I suspect that (believe I have read??) these rounds are not powerful enough to operate the action.
