Why do I need an AR15? So I, my kid or my grandkids don't have to fight with one of these

The Liberator was not so much a fighting gun as it was an assassination gun used for the purpose of procuring better weapons. The link you provided explained this quite well. Keep in mind that there was considerable mixing of the Germans with French civilians and resistance fighters.
It was actually manufactured at a rate that was faster than it could be loaded.
The Liberator was an interesting concept, though not an impressive weapon and was never widely distributed for its intended purpose.
Your kids will never fight with one. They should buy their own weapons.
Kill a hog. Save the planet.
