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.

The FP-45 Liberator pistol was a low-cost, single-shot firearm designed by Guide Lamp for psychological warfare during WWII.
