Many years ago, I remember watching a movie where the bad guys used a very unique machine pistol. It was fairly compact, had a high rate of fire, and it's most distinguishing feature was a cylindrical, high capacity magazine, mounted to the rear of the barrel, above the grip of the weapon. A most unusual configuration indeed, but I just loved the look. If you haven't figured it out already, I'm talking about the venerable Calico M950, aka the Calico Liberty III, from Calico Light Weapon Systems: [caption id="attachment_50" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Calico M950/Liberty III - 9mm, 50r Mag"]

Today I'm going to introduce you to what I think is perhaps one of the ugliest pistol designs I have ever come across. I found a couple of pics of it on my hard drive, and beyond the fact that it has a profile not even a mother could love, I couldn't figure out where the pics came from. However I do know that it is called the FP-45 Liberator: [caption id="attachment_37" align="aligncenter" width="299" caption="FP-45 Liberator"]
