The Brügger & Thomet VP9 is a 9x19mm integrally-suppressed pistol. In form and function it is heavily based on the WWII-era Welrod Pistol, sharing the same layout, a removable magazine which is part of the grip, and a manual bolt action operated by a circular knob at the rear of the weapon. Unlike the Welrod, however, the pistol is not marketed as a military weapon, being instead (ostensibly) intended as a humane animal killer for agricultural, hunting and veterinary use (the model name of the pistol is a contraction of "Veterinary Pistol 9mm").
The suppressor features a series of removable silicone wipes and baffles which significantly reduce the report of the pistol to around 129db with standard FMJ ammunition. Although incredibly efficient, this suppressor design has a short life expectancy of only 20 rounds (the baffles are, however, field-replaceable in only a few minutes, requiring no tools). For this reason the pistol also ships with a "practice" suppressor made of aluminum, allowing for more cost-effective training.
