	I found this weapon in "Jane's Security and Co-In Equipment"
1990-91 edition. Page 123.

	There is a picture of a plain looking bolt action repeater. It
looks like a Lee Enfield Mk V, except it has a very thick barrel. It
is shown with a bi-pod and scope.

.45ACP De Lisle Mark 3 Silenced Rifle

This weapon based on the wartime De Lisle silenced carbine, is a fully
silenced sniping rifle using standard .45 ACP ammunition. This
eliminates the need for special subsonic ammunition since the velocity
is below that of sound. The silencer assembly consists of a match
grade, ported barrel followed by a series of conical baffles and an
expansion chamber. The rifle has an effective range of 300 metres,
though this can be increased by using high velocity +P ammunition
which delivers a muzzle velocity of 328 m/s. This ammunition can only
be used with the De Lisle, since the chamber pressure is over 10 tons
per square inch. The weapon is quite accurate, with group sizes of
under 50 mm regularly obtained at 100m range using standard ball
ammunition. The silencer is particularly effective, with the only
noise being little more than the firing pin striking the cap. The
standard .303 magazine has been permanently modified by fitting a cut
down .45 pistol magazine inside it. Upon retacting the bolt, the fired
cartridge case rides over the next cartridge and falls into the void
behind.
