Had an uncle in the OSS. Generally a VERY quiet man. (secrecy laws). Was preparing to drop into Poland when the European war ended (info from my aunt - not him). He said that the FP 45 program was a GOOD program, that never saw its proper conclusion. He said that there were "some of them" dropped, but " nowhere near" what SHOULD have been dropped. He also said that the ones that WERE dropped, functioned as intended. Never got anything more out of him before he died. And, since my aunt has now also passed, I'll never learn anything more "from the horse's mouth". Still, I'll take whatever they told me as gospel because they 'were there'.........

@@tostie3110 Some in Greece but never in France or much of Europe. About half were shipped to the UK which sat there due to the amount of planes it would have required for a drop (think it was 600 a plane they could have dropped), and the other half sat in the US. Most of the use out of these were in the Philippines and China. The police in the Philippines actually used these as their issued sidearm for some time after WWII.

[@steamboatmodel]

@@tostie3110 The reason more were not dropped in France was the "Patriot" Gangs were using weapons' they were given against each other rather than against the enemy. It would have been like giving all the street gangs guns in a current day city. That was also why it was chambered in 45 a very hard to find caliber in occupied Europe, they learned that when they dropped stens .

[@Professional_Youtube_Commenter]

They were cancelled because the airforce calculated they could take maybe a thousand at a time and would need to do a thousand sorties to drop a million guns. A thousand sorties by bombers would achieve much more objectives if they just dropped bombs onto high value targets. Also a bomber would just fly to just one target and drop their payload and fly back home. With these gun drops they'd have to fly all over the place dropping guns by the handful to spread them out. They can't just drop them all in one go as the nazis would find them and use it for scrap and ammo

it actually proves that the 2nd amendment shouldn't be absolute in all situations. the entire reason they didn't drop them is because criminals and otherwise unsavory individuals would be able to get them quite easily after the war. it wasn't a room full of liberals making that decision either, these were experts in their field. i support the ownership of firearms to a reasonable extent, but when you start mass airdropping disposable weapons to untrained irregular forces, all you can hope to create is instability.

Moe MGTOW the right to own firearms does not translate to airdropping massive quantities of badly made handguns to foreign countries who will only suffer because of them. that is the extent to where i stop following the 2nd amendment as an absolute. this plan would have caused a massive influx of unregistered military weapons, including captured german ones, which we know only benefits criminals and terrorist forces.

[@stephenforsberg4038]

For those who are interested... Check "Forgotten Weapons" KZbin channel for some more information on the gun's history. Something about CIA (before being called CIA) storing what was left because they had space.

[@adrianrichards26]

The ideal pistol. Perfect in all aspects,the most legendary design allows for devastating effectiveness in the field

[@user-re7po]

[@FearScherer]

Hey, 10+1. Should tickle the anti revolver guys

[@chiliring7082]

I'm in tears over the whole "your gun looks better then mine I want yours man" lmfaoo

[@lefr33man]

"no markings on them" yeah, it's not like the caliber wasn't a dead giveaway or anything !

[@punchdrunkatheist]

+lefr33man If I'm not mistaken the US had already been helping Britain out with Thompson's, so it should have already been obvious, you'd think.

[@WJS774]

They were _selling_ weapons to Britain. That's a bit different than dropping them over Europe wholesale. Early on, they pretended to be neutral while in fact favouring Britain. Things like offering to sell materiel to both sides, as long as the buyer paid in gold and shipped the stuff themselves. Britain had huge amounts of gold across the world, Germany had no gold and the Royal Navy controlled the Atlantic. Obviously that gives a _huge_ advantage to Britain, but it's not like it was FDR's fault that Germany couldn't take advantage of the offer, right? Dropping weapons on occupied Europe would kind of blow that claim of neutrality out the water, aye? "Oh, those weapons were for Germans, not our fault the French found them first"?

[@crazy_horse8010]

Great production and story telling. Knew this gun from Battlefield V game. Nice to hear the story behind it!

[@fathersausage8535]

The original hi-point

[@rackal3753]

I watched this last night and had a dream about using it My "experience" with this gun can verify it is not very reliable

[@neopup1776]

Hickok is so nice he can’t even make a Joke without making sure he doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings.

[@hiddenname010]

I love your videos but can i suggest looking into wishes for warriors, instead if the wounded warrior project. I don't, personally like the wounded warrior project because of the way the run. but wishes for warriors is completely volunteer and all contributions actually go towards helping vets.

[@hickok45]

+Parker James Yeah, the news is pretty much out there now about the Wounded Warriors Project. Most folks in the shooting community are channeling their donations elsewhere.

[@teddydoukas1]

It is a shame about the wounded warroir project. Luckily there is other really good organizations out there for us now.

[@jacobmelanson3210]

How did you fire it a couple of times before it was air dropped? Did you lie to us?

[@cameronphillips2490]

Bam bam all the way!

[@geoffdearth8575]

I think the Semper Fi Fund has about the best stats. Check out Charity Navigator before doing any donation.

[@emmanuelmunoz9842]

8:54 dang mosquito I had headphones and I thought it was in my house I went crazy for 15 min looking for one till I realized it's from the video

[@WE_OF_THE_NOV]

This is the kind of gun history that keeps me interested. Great Video! the air drop caught me by surprise :D

[@isabellopezgarcia124]

10:11 my friend when he buys a new nerf gun

[@TrolololololololoMan]

Essentially a Grease pistol.

[@nedflanders5302]

Hickok always makes it better! Edit: Thanks for the smiles you bring.

[@aomimezura11]

How much did they cost to manufacture? $10?

[@Somgosomgo]

even less. $2.1 in 1942

[@aomimezura11]

Dr_Somgosomgo Where did you learn that? I'd like to know more about this weapon.

[@Somgosomgo]

aomimezura11 wikipedia is everyones' friend

[@aomimezura11]

Dr_Somgosomgo Excellent, I didn't notice it the first time, thank you.

[@optimusmikey]

Dr_Somgosomgo you mean $2 the $ symbol goes in front

[@ted.3602]

This gun is like when you start a new your level one so you equip anything you can find cardboard armor this thing as your gun but you throw it away once you hit Level 2 and get anything better 😂

[@ricktaylor5744]

Informational and entertaining​ at the same time, way to go! Hickok 45

[@jamesmckenna1179]

California compliant laws require these to have a spacing block in the top half of the grip so as not to clip too many ammunition’s in this fully single shot automatic Fp-45 (fascist-protector 45 magnum BMG)

[@dennisreynolds1091]

That was really funny. Let me see if I can fit a laugh into my schedule later.

[@cleo4922]

10:02 Did anyone else think of ‘South Park Stick Of Truth’ when he said that?

[@bi0hazard921]

I thought of COD Zombies.

[@chiggen_wings5703]

@@bi0hazard921 I thought about COD:WAW Zombies.

[@ninjadinosaur9133]

I love how you start your vids.. allways a great time with hickok45

[@EMP_castlebravo]

I honestly thought someone threw a rock at Hickok at the beginning of the video... like some random just walked up, picked up a rock or a stick off the ground, threw it and then walked off.

[@chickensurgeon3896]

Looks like a Nerf Jolt.

Hey! Im from kentucky too! Glad to know one of my favorite youtube channels out there is from the old bluegrass state!

It's the EZ Gun.

Yea, real "discreet", 45 acp is practically short for "Merica!"

[@danielmonroe6839]

This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen

[@rivercanoe2409]

Id love to see you fire the kolibri

[@wrathofvaughn9309]

River Canoe Great. Now that Battlefield 1 is a thing there are going to be all kinds of nerds talking about the Kolibri...

[@JopieA]

Now everyone is a self proclaimed history and firearm expert thanks to battlefield 1, at least it's a good game though.

[@whitedynamite5379]

Great. Now we have rude people talking down to those who like historic firearms even if it is from a game. You guys need to chill and not complain about the interests of others.
