One of my favorites.

I'm not sure why some folks don't like this one. The plot is a little muddled, but Emma steals the show as Queen of Sin. We didn't get this one in the US, so I didn't know about it until I bought all of the box sets for all Avengers series.

Good point, Alan. Further explanation: A blank round can be silenced. Any bullet moving faster than the speed of sound creates a sonic boom. For a live round, it's not the shot that's heard, but the bullet breaking the sound barrier.

Rifle silencers only work in the movies* - but then, this IS Avengerland.

After all, they are licensed to act, not to kill. :wink: Honor held a brown belt in Judo. As demonstrated in her video interview ( htt...
