It's the first-ever. It's a step. Henry Ford wasn't pumping GT500 Cobras off of his assembly lines.

Also, the name "Liberator" is intentional. In WWII, we manufactured handguns with stamped metal, called the FP-45. They cost pennies to make, and were only good for a single shot. We literally dropped millions into most Nazi-occupied territories. Most were likely never used... but every little bit helped.

Those were designed to just fire one time. The thinking was that they would be used to kill a German soldier so they could take his gun.
