1. The original Liberator was designed to be used only few times in order to get real firearms from the occupying powers during WWII.

2. It was never really used in any theater.

3. It was quite small and concealable. This isn't.
I think it was more hoped that the original Liberator was only used a few times in order to procure better guns. Structurally, they could be used lots of times.

It was used in both theaters, though on a limited basis (~50,000 units) including being used in primarily Greece and China.

As for the new plastic version not being concealable, that is just a matter of time, design, and technology. Had the design been done as a squeeze box design instead of putting a very large grip on it, it would be much more concealable.

I am curious about the notion of the barrel. The current version appears to have virtually no barrel (or very short) beyond the cartridge itself. My guess is that it is smooth bore.
