The metal ring on a pistol or revolver is called a lanyard ring. A lanyard is a piece of thin cord, that clips to the ring, and then is looped around the shoulder, usually as part of a military or police uniform. It's been a while, but US and UK military police used to use lanyards as part of the military uniform from about World War I to the recent past.
As you might know, the Welrod is a small caliber integrally suppressed bolt action pistol. This means that firing it makes very little noise (bullets don't break the sound barrier, firing it doesn't cycle the action and the cartridge doesn't have a lot of potential for noise-making). I suspect this is similar to how it ought to be used: Stalk the sentry you're to remove. Once you're close enough, line up the Welrod with the base of the sentry's skull and fire. Then quickly catch the sentry before he falls and makes a lot of noise. Drag him into a dark little corner. Rinse and repeat as necessary. If there are multiple sentries, coordinate your removal with your friends.
