The Deer Gun is a covert CIA pistol inspired by the Liberator. In fact, the initial desire was to pull Liberators out of storage to use in the 1950s, but out was found that they had all been scrapped in 1947/8. So instead, a new gun was designed with the same criteria of simplicity and low cost. Instead of being stamped like the Liberator, this would be made primarily form a single aluminum casting, and chambered for 9x19mm. It was loaded by unscrewing the barrel and manually inserting a cartridge, then replacing the barrel and manually cocking the striker. A hollow in the grip held a couple spare rounds and an ejector rod.
Russel Moore of American Machine & Foundry was given a contract for $300,000 to build 1000 of the guns, which he did in 1962. The intend was that once tooled up, subsequent contracts would cost only $3.95 per gun - but no further purchases were made. The use of the Deer Guns are largely unknown, as the CIA has rejected all FOIA requests related to them.

That's not a fair comparison. A mass-produced Hi Point costs less than a pilot production Deer Gun because the Deer Gun was only made in a small quantity pilot production run (as far as we know), so the Hi Point's up-front tooling costs were spread across a zillion guns while the Deer Gun's up-front tooling costs were spread across a thousand guns. If the Deer Gun was put into mass production and dumped out of cargo planes by the millions, then each one would have been very cheap. It might have still been a bad idea, but they wouldn't have been $300 guns if the plan went all the way forward.
@michaelr.1709
@michaelr.1709 4 жыл бұрын
The Hi Point comparison isn’t completely off. The government spent all that money because they wanted something special, just for them. Today, you would be better off having Jimenez sell you a bunch of guns and send those. That would actually be more covert. If people start showing up with Deer Guns all of a sudden, the authorities are going to wonder what is going on. If their insurgents are found with cheap guns commonly used by criminals. No suspicion is aroused. A good mix of Jimenez, Cobra, Hi Points, and Sigmas would be your best bet to avoid suspicion.

BoomerLemon The IRS is not a US government agency. It is an agency of the IMF (International Monetary Fund) (Diversified Metal Products v I.R.S et al. 
 CV-93-405E-EJE U.S.D.C.D.I., Public Law 94-564, Senate report 94-1148 pg. 5967, Reorganization Plan No. 26, Public Law 102-391)

 2. The IMF (International Monetary Fund) is an agency of the U.N. (Black's Law Dictionary 6th Ed. page 816)

 3. The United States has NOT had a Treasury since 1921 (41 Stat. Ch 214 page 654)

 4. The U.S. Treasury is now the IMF (International Monetary Fund) (Presidential Documents Volume 24-No. 4 page 113, 22 U.S.C. 285-2887)

 5. The United States does not have any employees because there is no longer a United States! No more reorganizations. After over 200 years of bankruptcy it is finally over. (Executive Order 12803)

 6. The FCC, CIA, FBI, NASA and all of the other alphabet gangs were never part of the U.S. government, even though the "U.S. Government" held stock in the agencies. (U.S. v Strang, 254 US491 Lewis v. US, 680 F.2nd, 1239)

 7. Social Security Numbers are issued by the U.N. through the IMF (International Monetary Fund). The application for a Social Security Number is the SS5 Form. The Department of the Treasury (IMF) issues the SS5 forms and not the Social Security Administration. The new SS5 forms do not state who publishes them while the old form states they are "Department of the Treasury". (20 CFR (Council on 
 Foreign Relations) Chap. 111 Subpart B. 422.103 (b))

 8. There are NO Judicial courts in America and have not been since 1789. Judges do not enforce Statutes and Codes. Executive Administrators enforce Statutes and Codes. (FRC v. GE 281 US 464 Keller v. PE 261 US 428, 1 Stat 138-178)

 9. There have NOT been any judges in America since 1789. There have just been administrators. (FRC v. GE 281 US 464 Keller v. PE 261 US 428 1 Stat. 138-178)

 10. According to GATT (The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) you MUST have a Social Security number. (House Report (103-826)

 11. New York City is defined in Federal Regulations as the United Nations. Rudolph Guiliani stated on C-Span that "New York City is the capital of the 
 World." For once, he told the truth. (20 CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) Chap. 111, subpart B 44.103 (b) (2) (2) )

 12. Social Security is not insurance or a contract, nor is there a Trust Fund. (Helvering v. Davis 301 US 619 Steward Co. v. Davis 301 US 548)

 13. Your Social Security check comes directly from the IMF (International Monetary Fund), which is an agency of the United Nations. (It says "U.S. 
 Department of Treasury" at the top left corner, which again is part of the U.N. as pointed out above)

 16. The King of England financially backed both sides of the American Revolutionary War. (Treaty of Versailles-July 16, 1782 Treaty of Peace 8 Stat 80)

 17. You CANNOT use the U.S. Constitution to defend yourself because you are NOT a party to it! The U.S. Constitution applies to the CORPORATION OF THE UNITED STATES, a privately owned and operated corporation (headquartered out of Washington, DC) much like IBM (International Business Machines, Microsoft, et al) and NOT to the people of the sovereign Republic of the united States of America. (Padelford Fay & Co. v The Mayor and Alderman of the City of Savannah 14 Georgia 438, 520)

 18. America is a British Colony. The United States is a corporation, not a land mass and it existed before the Revolutionary War and the British Troops did not leave until 1796 (Republica v.

 23. The Pope claims to own the entire planet through the laws of conquest and discovery. (Papal Bulls of 1495 & 1493)

 25. The Pope's laws are obligatory on everyone. (Bened. XIV., De Syn. Dioec, lib, ix, c. vii, n. 4. Prati, 1844 Syllabus Prop 28, 29, 44)

 26. We are slaves and own absolutely nothing, NOT even what we think are our children. (Tillman vs. Roberts 108 So. 62, Van Koten vs. Van Koten 154 N.E. 146, Senate Document 438 73rd Congress 1st Session, Wynehammer v. People 13 N.Y. REP 378, 481)

 27. Military dictator George Washington divided up the States (Estates) in to Districts (Messages and papers of the Presidents Volume 1 page 99 1828 Dictionary of Estate)

 28. "The People" does NOT include you and me. (Barron vs. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore 32 U.S. 243)

 29. It is NOT the duty of the police to protect you. Their job is to protect THE CORPORATION and arrest code breakers. (SAPP vs. Tallahassee, 348 So. 2nd. 363, REiff vs. City of Phila. 477 F. 1262, Lynch vs. NC Dept. of Justice 376 S.E. 2nd. 247)

 30. Every thing in the "United States" is up for sale: bridges, roads, water, schools, hospitals, prisons, airports, etc, etc... Did anybody take time to check who bought Klamath Lake?? (Executive Order 12803)

 31. "We are human capital” (Executive Order 13037) The world cabal makes money off of the use of your signatures on mortgages, car loans, credit cards, your social security number, etc. 

 32. The U.N. - United Nations - has financed the operations of the United States government (the corporation of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA) for over 50 years (U.S. Department of Treasury is part of the U.N. see above) and now owns every man, woman and child in America.
 33. An illegal arrest is an assault and battery. The person so attempted to be restrained of his liberty has the same right to use force in defending himself as he would in repelling any other assault and battery." (State v. Robinson, 145 ME. 77, 72 ATL. 260). 34. Each person has the right to resist an unlawful arrest. In such a case, the person attempting the arrest stands in the position of a wrongdoer and may be resisted by the use of force, as in self- defense. (State v. Mobley, 240 N.C. 476, 83 S.E. 2d 100). 35. “One may come to the aid of another being unlawfully arrested, just as he may where one is being assaulted, molested, raped or kidnapped. Thus it is not an offense to liberate one from the unlawful custody of an officer, even though he may have submitted to such custody, without resistance." (Adams v. State, 121 Ga. 16, 48 S.E. 910). 36. “These principles apply as well to an officer attempting to make an arrest, who abuses his authority and transcends the bounds thereof by the use of unnecessary force and violence, as they do to a private individual who unlawfully uses such force and violence." (Jones v. State, 26 Tex. App. I; Beaverts v. State, 4 Tex. App. 1 75; Skidmore v. State, 43 Tex. 93, 903.) 37. “No state shall convert a liberty into a license, and charge a fee therefore.” (Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 U.S. 105) 38. “If the State converts a right (liberty) into a privilege, the citizen can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right (liberty) with impunity.” (Shuttlesworth v. City of Birmingham, Alabama, 373 U.S. 262)

As I understand it, a primary requirement was to make the gun useful to partisans (shoot that solider and get his rifle) but useless to the occupying force that the partisans were fighting. In the 1950s I'm sure the CIA could lay it's hands on boatloads of WWII surplus for less then the cost of the 1000 of these made, but most of that stuff was still militarily useful and when arming partisans (especially by covert air drop) you have to assume that much of your supplies will be captured by the occupying force. And The CIA didn't want to efficiently arm the forces they were trying to depose. I also think that part of the reason this didn't get beyond the 1000 initial production is the CIA figured out it's easier and cheaper to get arms dealers to move that cheap WWII surplus to the rebels you want to support as you are no longer arming cells in Fortress Europe by covert airdrop.

Parts of the defence planning in Europe incorporated lessons from the partisan warfare in WW II. There was an expectation that the soviet forces would initially take territory while NATO powers in Europe and the USA mobilized. So there would be a lot of people fighting delaying and partisan warfare behind or around the front. Those operations would have used stashes of weapons, explosives etc placed beforehand. We have a crate in a fake shed out on a farm, or this concrete storage block out in the woods that's unmarked on maps that the local Home Guard units know how to find. If someone wants to start a partisan movement like we encourage them to do, we hand them a cheap but not crap-cheap SMG from one of these stashes.

That's a good point.

@notsaying7838 firstly, knives are literally over the counter, just go into any kitchen and you can find at least one good knife. Secondly, knives are a meme when it comes to effectively unaliving someone silently. The traditional way requires at least six full-in stabs in order to make them unconscious, struggling all the while. The more effective, but trickier, way is to slip it between the base of the skull and the first vertebrate, this severing the spine from the brain and causing death by paralysis of the lungs and heart. But that requires you to be ROGHT behind the target, which at that point, why rely on something THAT finicky? Why not just get some piano wire around the throat? Or better yet, why not just dome the guy from a safer range with a silenced .22 pistol, like the Ruger Mk. III?

Why a "Deer gun", though? Other than, "oh deer, is this the best we could do?" I'm kinda also wondering, if any thought was put into, er, concealment in plain sight? The Liberator looks like a gun, this, however, could be stored among garage tools, and your regular grunt wouldn't even suspect it was a gun.

A guy I knew made a 22.LR pen gun. single shot, you unscrew it to load it. You pull back on the clicker, the pocket clip pops up, to fire you push down on the clip. eventually they even made a little cap thing for the end that was an actual pen and would write. You're gonna say what use is it, and isn't it loud? Well for covert work, it's great, and frankly the only one that might find it loud for a split second is the person that has it poked in their ear...used that way it's pretty quiet. skulls make great sound suppressors.

The liberator concept in general has always seemed a bit strange. "Sir, we need a cheap, deniable way to arm the resistance. Nothing special, just enough to kill a soldier and steal their weapon." "How about we drop them a single shot pistol that's more expensive and complex to operate than a knife and looks distinctly western, but also only works from distances that you could use a knife, and makes far more noise?" "perfect."
@pdittrich
@pdittrich 4 жыл бұрын
idk man, knives are really hard to "operate". Just stabbing people in random places tends to hurts them, and hurt people make noise. Like, "ow, why the fvck did you just stab me". Unless you hit them in some very special places, it usually also takes them some time to die even if you score a fatal hit. Whereas putting a one-shot gun roughly onto their chest or face and pulling a trigger is real easy to do for some uneducated farmer-turned-guerilla. I mean, the same argument could be used against your knife - "if you get within knife-fighting distance of an enemy soldier, you might as well just bash him over the head with a rock or something".
