Military Tuesday : De Lisle Commando Carbine
Read about the De Lisle Commando Carbine while poring through one of my old magazines, Computer Gaming World #207 (Oct 2001) (see cover), in which a preview article for Hidden & Dangerous 2 included a section on the weapons used by WWII special forces in that game.
The De Lisle Commando Carbine and MP44/43 were the featured weapons for the Allies & Axis powers respectively.

In Computer Gaming World, the De Lisle was specified as a suppressed carbine with a magazine of 13 rounds firing the .45 ACP with a muzzle velocity of 900ft/s. Wikipedia states correctly that its magazine capacity was 7 rounds (optionally 11 rounds) but lists a much lower muzzle velocity of ~600 ft/s. It was only produced in limited quantities during World War 2 for use by special units like the British Special Operations Executive. (the forerunner of the SAS)
An American company, Valkyrie Arms LLC, created two versions of the De Lisle, the DeLisle 2000 (top) and the DeLisle Sporter Carbine (bottom) on top of offering replicas of the original De Lisle Commando Carbine.

Valkyrie Arms also has a scan of an interesting 1984 “Gung Ho” Magazine article by Robert T. Rome on the De Lisle Commando Carbine which can download from the De Lisle replica page here (7 pages). A brochure of Valkyrie Arms’ firearms is also available.
