CIA Deer Gun

[Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933]

In the late 1950s the CIA thought it would be nice to drop cheap guns into Commieland.  The WWII Liberators had been scrapped so they came up with a die cast aluminum gun in 9mm.  Very few were ever actually produced.

I knew a collector in Australia years ago, Stephen... something, who had a "demilled" Deer Gun - the barrel was welded up and the striker had been removed or broken off or somesuch.

Ian McCollum did an episode on Forgotten Weapons on the Deer Gun a few years ago.

 

I've had two Guide Lamp Liberators, and still have one of them AND the original instruction sheet - far more scarce than the guns. I've shot it five times with a primer and round ball, just enough to push it out the barrel and bounce off the backboard.

Looks like an impact wrench.
