The *real* Liberator..
I'm not sure if anyone is aware, but the glorious "Liberator" high end assault rifle in the game is also the name of a real gun.
Behold, the FP-45 "Liberator" : https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/M1942_liberator.jpg/300px-M1942_liberator.jpg
1 million were made in 11 weeks by 300 workers at a plant in Indiana for use of air dropping them (with a 10-round box of .45 ammo) into German-occupied territories for use by resistance forces during World War 2. They cost ~$2.40 each to make delivered ($32 in 2010 dollars), and were only loaded with a single round at a time.
Only around 25,000 pistols were actually distributed via the UK into France of the 500,000+ shipped to the UK. Some went to Greece, China, and the Philippines. Today, due to how few of these pistols survived the war to end up in civilian hands, an excellent condition model is worth over $1 million.
That's the history behind the "Liberator."

Delivering Democracy one .45 round at a time.
No better cartridge to do so with.
The 30mm GAU-8 would like a brrrrrrrrtttt with you.
.45 ACP is still more American.
Specifically when loaded into a good 'ol Colt 1911A1
Gratuitous Warthog reference; have an upvote.
I can't carry (or afford) a 30mm round with me, let alone a mag of 13 :P
Make an anti-material rifle chambered for that big hoss!
