This video explores Winchester's "Liberator" shotgun project from the early 1960s, designed by Robert Hillberg. Initially conceived as an inexpensive firearm using magnesium castings and pre-packaged ammunition, the design evolved into a break-action model using standard shells due to development challenges. A later MkIII iteration featured independent steel barrels. Despite efforts to market it commercially to police and civilian sectors, the Liberator never saw widespread production due to its impractical, "guerrilla-oriented" design, deemed unsuitable for ordinary uses like sport shooting or law enforcement. The video features footage from the Cody Firearms Museum.
