There is a 3d printable liberator pistol.

@@cccc7666 yeah I know; there’s 3D printable glocks. But I don’t wanna use polycarbonate; I prefer using real metal because I find it more reliable.

​@@EmoBoiLinkWell, it would be fitting for the spirit of the Liberator. The whole idea of the Liberator was to be a one shot wonder. You kill the other guy, take their gun and use it. It was never meant to be a main sidearm. It was a cheap resistance ditch firearm. Thus making it out of 3D printed parts and using some metal for the key parts. The 3D replica of a Liberator would be, one likely far cheaper, and two, fitting in that spirit of being a one shot, ditch, steal, and keep fighting. Even if you COULD reload it. It was more of a hassle than it was worth.

@@Qardo I know; but there’s something about making a one shot deal throwaway weapon that bothers me and idk why. But I’ll def give it a shot. (Pun intended).

Remember when BLM came across a pallet of bricks? I think I know how we can accelerate things.

They still do this with many unwanted cars, military equipment etc

They’re arming the fish to fight eachother

Considering their cheapness this would be a viable option...

Or third or fourth

Switching to a third Liberator is faster than reloading 2 Liberators.

@@realtopdualewaiting for an airdrop of liberators is faster than reloading

From the looks of it, " throwing it at the enemy and running around trying to find a different weapon while being shot at" looks to be faster than reloading😅😅😂

Yes that what I away understood the Liberators role would be to kill a remote sentry and the upgun stealing their rifle, ammo possibly food etc.

@@cmdredstrakerofshado1159yes, you just repeated what he said Like almost verbatim

​@@astonedwalrus4183yes but he also added the little known fact that these Liberators were used to kill an enemy sentry so that you could steal their weapon and ammo for yourself.

@@MrAnonymous46 he didn’t add anything the first guy said, have a look.

@@astonedwalrus4183 nah I'm just fucking with you, it was funnier in my head

Ohhh

Oh god, fumbling around for the bullet in the dark

Make it so reloading has a randomized timer, so sometimes you'll reload in 3 seconds, sometimes you reload in 6 seconds, and any length in between. Maybe even a tiny percent chance where you drop your bullet

​@@grimsladeleviathan3958i feel like people would just complain about it being rng. i feel like itd be better and more stressful to have to manually do each step so that the player is more worried about reloading correctly instead of hoping for rng. could just be me though idk

@@kalimbasax2108 depends on the genre, whether they complain or not. Horror game players usually don’t care so much about RNG and fighting mechanics as these things aren’t in the foreground when playing such a game. On the other hand, manually reloading each step like you suggested could actually add to the game, as the nervousness leads to mistakes, leads to you dropping the bullet and having to look on the ground to pick it up, only for whatever is chasing you to get close while you weren’t looking.

I presume those exact parts are the extractor, ejector, magazine spring, and, feed ramp.

​​@@samuelmendoza9356I don't know if you're right about the rest, but owning one I can tell you that the feed ramp is cut into the barrel.

Those 4 parts are definitely worth it

That's cool, but complexity of parts plays into price as well. These are meant to be cheap

@@STONEAJE how does it still compare to say, making boxlock pistols?

I thrown my FP-45 liberator in the sea when the second world war ended 😭 Wish i kept it😢

Atleast you can reload the Jolt quicker, and get better results.

Well why not just give them a better gun to begin with? This tech is so old its like one level up from loading a a muzzle.

​@@writerconsideredmuzzle loaders might actually be faster

@@writerconsidered the intent was to give somehting to the public that was cheap enough and easy enough to mass produce to give them even the slightest fighting chance against the enemy as qukcly as possible. Wars most of the time aren't won by soldiers, but by logistics. It is highly speculated that one of the many factors why Germany lost the second world war was because the U.S. was able to produce more sherman tanks than germany could repair any panzers or tigers. Sometimes having "good enough" out in the field is better than the "best" stuck in the shop unable to get it out in the field.

@@pyronic120120At that point, a huge part was also t34s, which were also very cheap to produce.

Correct, also the fact that if a bunch of these were captured by the enemy it would be no issue at all, as they are only really useful as a resistance tool to get better kit :)@@pyronic120120

A Liberator is useless past 7 or 8 yards so I'm assuming your grandpa has a small front yard.

How could anyone do that to the poor foxes >:(

​@@Qualicabyss and the poor coyotes too presumably

"Making a new gun is faster than reloading!"

The sad part is I almost don't even doubt this.

They're only collectible because they threw a ton of them into the ocean. Otherwise they'd still probably cost 2 bucks a pop.

A lot of them aren't really safe to fire long term considering how cheaply they were made. Ian McCollum on the channel "Forgotten Weapons" did a good video on this and explained in detail.

They actually did. They sold about a million units to the Philippine government to be used as police pistols and military side arms.

@@Mr-TroxBruh imagine them as stocking stuffers

They are available occasionally on Rock Island Auction's website. They sell for about $2000.

It was designed to be a terrible idea from the start.

@@user-ug4ow1qq2h why would someone follow through with a known terrible idea?

It was the US government making the cheapest gun possible.

It was made to be thrown away so they didn’t want it to be expensive

It wasn't only cost that was important, low quality was equally, if not more important. They knew a lot of them would get intercepted, and they didn't want to arm their enemy with practical battlefield weapons.

Stick

unless they found another stick or anything long and thin

Imagine, being in Europe and there is no twig or stick to be found anywhere, in any of the countless forests around you. .....

It was only intended as a "one shot" kill weapon. You kill a soldier who's unaware of your presence... at which time you take HIS weapon.

Ian McCollum said this in his PF-45 review.

Also used for fear It out the idea in the enemy that anyone could have one

then what's the point of building in the ability to carry extra bullets? Just put in a second barrel, and have the people carry multiple guns like a pirate

@@GameFuMaster So you can test fire it before an attempt? So if you do it at range and don't kill them you can run and try again? ETC. Not everyone is going to have the guts to walk up to an armed soldier and shoot them point blank with a gun they have never even fired before.

@@Artyomthewalrus or carry multiple guns? "Run and try again" sounds like there's even a chance to run. This weapons is probably something you'd use just outside of baseball bat range

If I know records I'm going to assume this includes videos that we just watched here. Which would honestly suck. If there are no records of the time then they would forget a whole lot than just this. Between this little comments about the future, and this video, it really reminds me just how much we humans need to do a better job at preserving every little thing we've ever done on this planet or created on this planet. You can easily be forgotten within the next hundred years or so if not properly recorded. Nevermind thousands.

Flimsy sheet metal pistols turn to brown mush in sea water in a matter of weeks. These wont be the subject of future archaeology. The thing future people will struggle with is nuclear reactor fuel rods.

​@@HK47_115we've only been writing for around 5,000 years, most of what has been written has been lost, writing wasn't widespread between different peoples for most of its existence, and we have lost the ability to understand certain langiages even with writing. Actual, verifiable accounts of anything is honestly pretty rare.

​@@HK47_115Don't worry. The planet will preserve itself. When it turns into Mars 2.0 as a result of humanity's actions.

they would just look at the rest of the sea from a similar time period and conclude a conflict, thousands and thousands upon thousands more planes, ships, guns/cargo/munitions/tanks... just think if WW2 never happened how much the overall chemistry of the ocean would be different simply because of how much less vehicles would be rotting away in it

3d printing something takes substantially longer than stamping and putting together some metal parts while being far less reliable

@@EinfachFredhaftGaming yes but its the best option if you want a firearm in a country with strict gun control laws and dont wanna resort to the black market.

Gyo but with guns

Key word "Success". Sounds like the French maid was unsuccessful

the purpose of the weapon was for the resistance member to use it to kill an armed guard, and take the enemies gun,

@@stevengrimes371 that was the purpose, yes, but it also made for an excellently terrible assassin’s gun because it was so disposable and there really wasn’t much way to prove or even deduce who used it unless they were caught with them.

Don't insult the flintlock. LOL😅

Dangerous assault weapon.

The Liberator can fire 100 thousand rounds in 60 seconds of course it's an AR

It has a silencer and scope on it. They don't use those for hunting animals.

It's full auto pump action incindiary bullets with a war criming bayonet.

ok

nerd

That’s roughly $42.68 in 2023

If not, that's not exactly a good deal.

@@lovelessissimo There's a reason they didn't actually make all that many. You could make a half dozen of them for the cost of a 1911, but the performance isn't really worth that. But it's still dirt cheap for a weapon.

@Joesolo13 the cynic in me wants to think these are the result of someone getting paid from a government contract.

Depends on the quality and if it came with the box, dowel, or instructions.

What?

​@@saturnino1he is referring to a comment bot

Not by paratroopers. The liberator was meant for resistance fighters, OSS agents, and MI6 members. Paratroopers didn't need a small pistol like the liberator they used standard issue weapons.
