Pistolet Liberator .45 ACP

The times of the past war seem only a grim grunt of history, Perhaps it is a mistake to forget. Perhaps it is worth living with hope, that we will not have to live like our grandparents in an example of the action with ,,Time of honor ", ,,Columbus ", ,,Channel ", Whether ,,Ash and diamond ".All these great heroes, who often died with a cruel death in the name of our freedom, prosperity and holy peace, They all had to fight with hated occupiers - German and Soviet. Often, as their war found - no shoes, belt and uniform, And we had to be called all this, what just got into your hand. Sometimes a rock after grandfather from the partitions, Sometimes vis dug out of the garden, captured ,,Parabelka ”captured on a drunk soldier, and sometimes a two -legged hammer, or a regular knife. All these types ,,defends ”the soldiers of the underground army used perfectly, By asking the enemies of the homeland the greatest blow in the history of wars - a blow to the entire structure of the new state - underground Poland. Among the ruling minds in allied countries, this fact was noticed and appreciated, For the purposes of resistance movements in Poland, and also Yugoslavia, Greece, France and other countries, Secret Special Service Offices were created (OSS w USA, and soe in England), dealing with training, coordination of the activities of individual groups, sending agents, creating special troops dropped over the occupied territory - which is an eloquent example of our Cichociemni. An integral part of the work of these offices was the production of a whole range of specialized fighting equipment, easy to hide and transfer, deadly and most interesting, having no firearms sometimes. So they were shooting feathers, lighters, clamps, signets, or cigarettes, explosive suitcases, coal lumps, or brick, Blades hidden in shoes, suits, pencils, mini crossbows, Garoty, daggers ... but the most intriguing with ,,the whole company "the construction was a special one -shot pistol, manufactured in the US by GLC, called Liberator - a weapon powered by a cartridge 11,43 ACP, A short 100mm barrel was devoid of thread, Permanently welded to a skeleton made of reduced sheet metal, gwarantowała śmiertelny strzał na dystansie do 5m. The high overthrow power compensated for the need to shoot further shots a bit. To give them back with a pencil, stick, whether to remove a similar item from the barrel stuck there (There was no claw in the structure), then from the handle that is a storage compartment on 10 spare ammunition pieces to remove another cartridge, load it, pull the lock foot to the back and give the next shot. As you can see a long -term matter, szczególnie podczas ,,robots ”in the city, where every sound sound attracted as a magnet hostile patrols of collaborators, Gestapo agents, or common blacksmiths. Therefore, the accuracy was primarily important. You remember the famous AK motto: ,,Each bullet - one German "? Fits here as he found. The gun weighed ok. half a kilo, construction with a length of 140mm, initial speed of the bullet 250m/s. Produced 1 million pieces, which were scattered during drops over occupied territories in Europe. They were delivered in plastic packaging with comic instructions for use. At the moment they are a valuable museum and hobby exhibit. A very interesting position for everyone who likes the history of World War II.
