Description

The Liberator is a historic single-shot pistol design, originally released in May 2013 by Defense Distributed as the world's first widely available fully 3D-printable firearm blueprint. Named after the WWII-era FP-45 Liberator (a simple OSS/ resistance drop gun), it became a landmark in discussions about digital rights, code as speech, 3D printing technology, and gun regulation.

This upload is a non-functional replica / display prop only.

No working firing mechanism included
Intended strictly for educational, historical, artistic, or collection purposes

This design has sparked global debate since 2013 — from State Department takedown requests, to Pirate Bay hosting, DOJ settlements, court cases (including 9th Circuit rulings), and mentions by public figures. It symbolizes the intersection of open-source tech, freedom of information, and firearm policy. Files have circulated widely online for over a decade.

I'm sharing this file purely as an archivist / hobbyist for historical and educational interest. Sharing digital files like this is legal in many places as protected speech, but local laws on manufacturing or possessing functional firearms vary widely — always check your own regulations. No endorsement of misuse or violence is intended.

📌 READ BEFORE COMMENTING This is a display prop / replica only. The files shared are intentionally incomplete and modified — no functional firing mechanism is included or possible with these parts. It is a historical curiosity and conversation piece, nothing more. For context: an airsoft gun, a hammer, or a kitchen knife poses a far greater real-world threat. If you have genuine legal concerns, do your research before commenting — because this falls firmly in the same category as any other non-functional replica prop sold in hobby and collector stores worldwide.
