Based on the name Liberator and the shape, it's probably an homage to the FP-45 Liberator: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FP-45_Liberator http://en.wikipedia.org/

The FP-45 was created to basically be good for one shot. You would use it at close range to incapacitate someone with a better weapon (e.g. an occupying soldier) and take theirs.
