The CIA's New Liberator: the 9mm Deer Gun
The CIA's Deer Gun, a successor to the WWII Liberator, was designed as a single-shot, low-cost 9mm pistol for covert operations. Intended for airdrops to resistance groups, its strategy was for an operative to eliminate an enemy soldier and take their primary weapon. Despite a contract for 1,000 units, significant deployment never occurred.
