SP, actually the loudness of the 1911 and .38 cal revolvers normally used for tunnel warfare was a major reason the Army went looking for something else. In the dark, the flash and the bang were so disruptive, it was almost impossible to operate with any degree of success/surprise in a tunnel a little over 3 feet in height floor to ceiling. The TG/QSPR barely had the report of a .22 with no flash!
