Really? A double barrel 1911? Really?

[Nushif]

Kinda implies that it would used for defensive use.

Or that it is the industry standard for photographing a 1911.

I wouldn't call this a 1911.

 

[iLikeOldgunsIlikeNewGuns]

perhaps they shoulda called it the 3822

(my jaw hit my lap when I saw the price on that silly mug )

This is just the pistol equivalent of a monster truck....

...novelty more than anything else.

Would render training to double-tap unnecessary. Makes magazine changes twice as slow. Malfunction drills would be twice as much work.

"Gunmaker invents chilling double-barrel handgun", msn, 13 Mar 2012.

Someone has finally invented a weapon that combines the killing power of a double-barreled shotgun with the portability of a handgun.

[headslap] Leave it to mainstream media. .45 = 12 ga? Or double barrel shot guns are ordinarily fired both barrels simultaneously?

What is even more surprising is the 90 day back order date to get one of those mugs. If there are that many people who will put out $280 for a Tacticool mug, I imagine there will be a sizable market for AutoZilla too.

I actually wanted one of those mugs, why don't they just make a plastic one or something? I don't need a serialized beer glass. On the flip side, if you get an adapter now you really can add a cup holder/mug to your AR-15

In the video, the 2011 (such a clever name) doesn't seem as huge as I initially thought, but then again I've always wanted an Auto mag III so maybe i'm not the best judge of that

 

[1911austin]

I'm a bit of a 1911 nut but can't say that I care for that thing.

 

[Zerodefect]

Yo Dawg, I heard you like shooting 1911's.

So I welded a 1911 to your 1911, so you can shoot a 1911 while you shoot a 1911.

 

[RevolvingGarbage]

Zero,

Just so you know, you got atleast one laugh off of that.

In response to Zerodefect's post:

I hope Exhibit (I know I just spelled his name 'wrong') buys one of these... on principle

 

[drunkensobriety]

I started by reading the first page.... I saw the pictures.... I was trying *really* hard to control my laughter well enough to start typing. And I got to this:

It finally answers the question of "which is better in .45acp hardball or hollow points"

That's about where I lost it and laughed so hard I squinted out tears.

I was reminded of a line from Lucky Number Slevin.

"I'm going to say what a man with two penises says when his tailor asks if he dresses to the left or to the right."

"What's that?"

"Yes."

~~~

"Do you shoot flying ashtrays or hardball?"

"Yes."


Crude one liners..... commence.
I could double tap - with one pull of the trigger.
I can duel wield - one handed.
My pistol is twice as much fun as yours.
I can fastest gun in the west twice as fast as you can.
I can shoot faster than Miculek! ... well no, actually, still no... he's not human.
I've got you outgunned two to one.
When I'm drunk enough to see two, I've still got one barrel for each of ya.
I may be cross eyed, but my barrels are parallel.
My .45 has twice the TKO of your .45.
1911²

Ok, I have to stop, this is way too entertaining.

 

[jerkface11]

This thing was obviously designed for Chuck Norris.

 

[WDGF]

I wonder about the accuracy. Seems like the two bullets are traveling close enough together that their shock-waves would affect at least one of them. I assume primer, powder and/or other minute variations would make it likely one bullet would be at least slightly in front of the other.

I'd shoot it out of curiosity, but otherwise, not for me.

 

[BADUNAME37]

I want one!
Make mine in Desert Eagle 50 AE, TRIPLE, not Double!

 

[B!ngo]

Looks like the Starship Enterprise had another of those 'bad transporter incidents'...

 

[JEB]

"Quick, Jeb! Get the blowtorch! I gots a great idea!"

hey now!

Being subsonic, I don't know about shockwaves. For the distances involved in pistol shooting, I doubt any of the affects would be significant. Keep in mind that folks have been shooting paired and multi-barrel simultaneous and staggered firing guns for quite some time with decent accuracy. Obviously, the goal of the gun isn't for being able to shoot 10 shot targets more effeciently with just 5 shots during matches, although that would be interesting to see.

 

[Kiln]

They watched "The Green Hornet" one too many times.

 

[x_wrench]

I needawanagottahaveone! talk about the proverbial "double tap"!

 

[EmG]

the first question that comes to my mind is why???? what purpose is there for making this????

 

[EmG]

I would think it would be unreliable as well as unsafe, seems like fireing pin spring wear and differnce in ammo could make one chamber fire faster than the other and with a single slide this could be very dangerous.
