Line 96:
* The [[wikipedia:FP-45 Liberator|FP-45 Liberator]]. This pistol was intended to be dropped in large quantities into France during [[World War Two]] for use by [[La Résistance]], the idea being that they could use it to pop an occupying soldier and then acquire his weapon. Stopping power wasn't necessarily the problem (it was chambered for the beefy .45 ACP round), but its range was pitiful and the gun itself could be built more quickly than it could be reloaded. It was often described as "a great weapon with which to obtain another weapon".
** Its successor, [[wikipedia:Deer gun|The Deer Gun]] was chambered for 9mm and intended for use in Vietnam. The idea was scrapped when the conflict escalated into a full scale war. Like the Liberator, it is now considered a collector's item, putting it square into the [[Rare Guns]] category.
* Scientists are researching the possibility of [[Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke|genetically engineering]] humans with spider silk in their skin instead of keratin.{{verify}} They believe this would make the skin tough enough to resist .22LR bullets, rendering guns of that calibre fairly useless at killing people.{{verify}}
