Cheapest pistol in the world - Liberator

Cheapest pistol in the world - Liberator. It was created in 1942 for Resistance Movement (civilian population in the occupied territories). This pistol was created to get arms ( you kill soldier and took his weapon), as well as for other purposes .
A primitive, single-loaded pistol developed for the rapid and massive manufacturing and was extremely cheap to manufacture. This is unique weapon, which manufactured faster than reload (every 6.6 seconds was making a new one). Loading takes approximately 10 seconds. (Some sources claim that the average rate of one gun was 7.5 seconds).


These pistols were produced by General Motors , you think that company produced cars, etc. but this company knew perfectly interpreted in stamping details, and that was necessary for the manufacture this gun. Each gun costs for U.S. government $ 1.75 (some sources claim $ 2.15).

Weapon were dropped by aircraft in thousands on the occupied zone. To weapon’s kit which droped for resistance movement included:
(a) Gun FP45 Liberator;
(b) 10 bullets in;
(c) Manual instruction
(d) Stick-cleaning rod for pushing the bullet.

The extra bullets could deposited in pistol. Due to the smooth barrel , the maximum range of aiming was less than 8 meters (In fact, approximately 3 meters). Gun had a weight 445g without bullets , length 141 mm and barrel’s length 102 mm.
During the years of war was produced more than 1 million units, will give just an example over its production were working 300 workers, each 6.6s. (some sources - 7 seconds) was created a new unit, its production was 24 hours per day, for 7 days, for 11 months. Most "Liberators" were destroyed after the war (they simply was dumped into the sea by British)

The biggest gun in the world - Dora

The biggest gun in the world was developed in the 1930s by Krupp for destroying large, heavily fortified targets. The shell «Dora» punched armor in the thickness of 1 m or 8-metre ferro-concrete overlapping. In the beginning the supergun has received the name "Gustav", but the tradition of firm to give to the products female names it has appeared more strongly, and the invention has changed "sex".






Transported the super gun was with the help of several trains (all to 60 locomotives and wagons with the personnel in quantity some hundred persons).
Engineering preparation of district was conducted by 1,5 thousand workers and one thousand sappers of 4 weeks. As the equipment of the biggest gun «Dora» was delivered in 106 wagons by five trains, in a place of deployment of the weapon have constructed the whole switchyard.

Quantity of service personnel «Dora» - 4139 soldiers, officers and civilians. Among other things calculation tools include protection battalion, a transport battalion commandant, Field bakery, camouflage squadron, a field office mail and marching battalion… brothel with staff in 40 "workers".

Data about supergun application near Sevastopol are contradictory. In memoirs Manstein asserted, that «Dora» has let out on the Soviet fortress of 80 shells. The German gun was soon marked by the Soviet pilots who struck to its position serious blow and have damaged energytrain.

In the morning on June, 5th, 1942 two diesel locomotives with powerful capacity in 1050 horsepowers everyone have rolled out this construction in weight of 1350 tons on a fighting crescent position and have established to within centimetre. The first shot consisted of a shell 7088 kg, two powder charges on 465 kg everyone is powerful, sleeves 920 kg is powerful. The trunk lift has given it an eminence in 53 degrees.

Specially for updating of shooting a little at some distance from «Dora» the aerostat has been lifted in air. At a shot the service command hid in shelter for some hundred of metres. The shot caused effect of mini earthquake. The roar at combustion for 6 milliseconds from above 900 kg of gunpowder and pushing out of a 7-ton shell was simply monstrous - in the wagon for 3 kilometres, under the certificate of contemporaries-eyewitnesses, the dishware jumped up. Recoil pressed a railway line on 5 centimetres.

After a capture of Sevastopol "Dora" have sent under Leningrad, in station Tajtsy area. When operation on break of blockade of a city has begun, Germans hastily evacuated a supergun to Bavaria. In April, 1945 at approach of Americans, the biggest gun in the world have blown up.

The most exact estimation to this miracle of military technics was given by the chief of the Joint Staff of land forces of fascist Germany colonel general Frants Galder: «the Present work of art, however useless».
