Over the years there have been some unique and odd firearms solutions. One of these is the Guide Lamp FP-45 pistol. Stamped-steel, looked like it was made of tin cans. A 4” unrifled barrel graced this little single-shot gem. Opening butt of the pistol revealed 5 45 ACP cartridges. The idea was to manufacture them and drop them to the resistance cells in Europe, China and the Philippines. Load the single shot, approach the enemy, engage at close range and take the enemies weapon and ammo. How this is used are the users were not likely to document their activities. Built by the Guide Lamp company over a million were made with about 25,000 distributed in Europe costing $2.10 in 1942. Another 10,000 was issued to the OSS and given to the Chinese with another 4,000 passed around in the Philippines by McArthur.
