The liberator

Somebody naming that new their pistol history...

I remembered reading about the Liberator made by the Guide Lamp Division of General Motors in a great book Pistols Of The World.

Guide Lamp new nothing about Pistols but everything about stamping, pressing and forming making metal components into complicated shapes.

The lamp company went into Pistol production in 1942 stamping out a million in three months - One every seven and a half seconds.

A simple assassination pistol it was dropped with ten rounds and an instruction guide to Resistance groups etc..

Wonder if history will be repeating itself
