This "Walk-in Wednesday" episode features Tom showcasing two Liberator FP-45 Pistols, a single-shot firearm secretly commissioned by the OSS during WW2. The video highlights an authentic example alongside a high-quality reproduction by Vintage Ordinance Co. These pistols were intended for distribution behind enemy lines in Axis-occupied countries, providing locals with a simple weapon to incapacitate a guard, acquire their firearm, and resist occupation. The video also includes a shooting clip from InRangeTV.

This review tests a reproduction Liberator pistol, a single-shot .45 ACP firearm designed for WWII partisans. Despite manual rifling on the reproduction, accuracy is extremely poor due to rudimentary sights and lack of zeroing. The manual reloading process is inefficient, requiring manual casing ejection. Hits are only achieved by significantly adjusting aim, highlighting the weapon's intended disposable nature.
