Even with listed improvements, I'm sure it would be a painful disappointment at range:

Just looking at it you can almost feel the hurt. Remember them when I was a kid during WWII.

My first thought was "Ouch"

My first thought was, "where's the rest of the gun at"?

That gun was dropped to the French Resistance Fighters during WWII and it's main purpose was to shoot a Nazi up close and get his real guns.

Wow. that is one ugly and awkward looking gun. And not a lot of inherent confidence on performance. Maybe you are right.. meant to be 1 shot use so one can re-mission a real firearm. Although I was momentarily tempted because the price includes ALL the packaging!.

I've seen the booklet somewhere online a few years ago. Cartoons mostly, showing how to operate it. A little French text I think, describing that either brave or stupid idea of shooting a German soldier to take his weapon(s). You would probably have had to put it in his belly button.

I saw a real Liberator this last weekend for sale for BIG BUCKS!!
I'll bet there's guys already aging these in there back yard with water & salt to sell at the shows.. Buyer beware..
There's no way I'd spend $600 on that hunk when you could buy a real gun for less..

Web page says their identifying roll mark is on underside of barrel, so only dummies might think it's original? I see they also deal in the Auto Ordnance M-1, $755.

Site lists several other replica handguns and long guns, but no info or photos.

Some interesting paper stuff, like 1930's police silhouette targets and replica old NJ carry permits:

So much says, "coming soon".

Just not something I care that much about.
