Andrew at the GY6 Channel has blogged a teaser of his upcoming review of the Arsenal Firearms 2011-A1 Double Barrel 1911 pistol. The teaser features some pretty nifty slow motion footage.

Someone commented on the video “so this is like shooting a .90 caliber pistol?”. Unfortunately thats not the case. It fires single rounds from alternating barrels. Shooting more than one round per trigger pull would have it classified as a machine gun and unavailable for sale to consumers.

I see only one use for this piece... on a set in Hollywood - maybe in a Dirty Harry sequel.

  @E Morgan Schuster The latest version, model Prismatic, 10 Auto, will appear in the next 007 movie, in the hands of Dave Bautista.

  It is with great pleasure that we can finally and officially announce that our brand new product - the AF2011 Dueller Prismatic - was selected some months ago to be one of the key weapons featured in the new James Bond movie "Spectre", due to be released globally in November this year.
  Arsenal Firearms supplied 5 stainless pistols to the James Bond production team in fall last year, to take part in various contemporary locations shootings. The guns, originally fully functioning and chambered in .45 ACP, have been modified to shoot special movie-blank rounds. The technical challenge was quite demanding, as for the first time the movie industry specific adaptation team had to assess the functionality with a double barrel semiautomatic pistol.
  Arsenal Firearms also supplied a number of dedicated accessories to the James Bond movie production, such as for instance the special double barrel Shoulder Rig pictured in the page.
  The 007 appearance of the AF2011 comes actually as the third silver screen feature, the first one being in the independent US production "My Name is Paul", while "The Intruders" a 56 episodes BBC America sequel is currently being aired across the Atlantic and over the Satellite for global viewing.

  I see this pistol as a publicity stunt for a company trying to break into the American market. The general public has little practical working knowledge of fire arms. it looks cool on the screen but, the actual concept is weak when applied.
  Like Siamese twins, it will remain an oddity on display.
  Shouldn't it have dual sights...or two lasers?
  Chamber it in .45 Win Mag and I'd probably try to get one.
  Or, I'll wait for the Gatling version!
