Walther P38 with silencer[]

The suppressed version can be found in various pick up kits. Often with a suppressed MP 40. It is the only suppressed sidearm. It has the resemblence of the post war Walther P38K (Kurz/short). Since it is the only P38 with a shortened barrel and where the front sight is moved from the tip of the barrel unto the front of the slide. The Walther P38K was produced for the German KSK special forces unit from 1974 to 1981, anachronistic for the game.
