HISTORY
During the Vietnam War, Special Operations forces recognized the importance of suppressed weapons for stealth operations. Elite units like the Green Berets and Navy SEALs were prominent, forming the Joint Combat group MACV-SOG. Among their innovations was the Mk 22 MOD 0, dubbed the Hush Puppy, designed for silent dispatching of enemy threats, including guard dogs and sentries.
Developed by the Naval Special Warfare Lab, the Mk 22 MOD 0 departed from conventional designs, featuring a short recoil-operated mechanism with a locked breech and a threaded barrel for a suppressor. Its enhanced features included suppressor height sights and a detachable metal stock for improved accuracy.
Though exact field usage is scarce, reports suggest satisfaction with its performance, with some remaining in SEAL team service beyond the Vietnam era. Approximately 120 were produced, with only two exiting military possession. The pistol's slide lock, which kept the slide closed after firing, contributed to its suppression capabilities, albeit rendering it a single-shot design. Paired with the Mark 3 suppressor and special subsonic ammo, the Mk 22 MOD 0 offered a remarkably quiet option for clandestine operations, despite limitations with wipe-based suppressors needing periodic replacement.
