Yes it can, but your silencer has to enclose the cylinder as well as the
muzzle. I saw a picture of a revolver silencer once, though I think it was
built by hand :) Another way is to try and close the gap by some sort of
extension to the cartridge case or something, but the problem is that that
extension has to be retracted before the next shot as well :)

Well, why not? I'd like to see the book when it's finished, too... I take it
you're going to upload it on cerebus or some other ftp site?
