You don't need accuracy for an assassination or an execution, or in a "gunfight" range of three feet.* The "Liberator" pistol (.45 ACP) was dropped by the OSS to the various European undergrounds during WW2 with the intent that it would be used one or perhaps two times to obtain a better weapon by shooting a German soldier.





*Yes, I am very much aware of such events as the Luke Short-Jim Courtright shooting match. I am also aware that the average distance for the use of firearms by police in the US is 21 feet. But if you are shooting from three or four feet away at another you will probably hit someone. Of course with homemade firearms you take the chance that the thing will blow up in your hand and you will lose a couple of fingers, at least.
