Arsenal Firearms is selling "the very first industrial double barrel semiautomatic pistol of all time" -- the AF2011-A1 "Second Century". They're just like a regular pistol, but shoot two bullets at once. Basically the equivalent of duct-taping two guns together provided you don't tape one facing backwards.

The gun can be handled by any shooter able to shoot with a .45 Acp and it is not only very pleasing, but very accurate and great fun. The AF2011-A1 holds amazing and surprising target performance for the shooter: in fact, it will group all the 8 double .45 caliber rounds (16 bullets) held in the duplex, single columns magazines, in a target of the size of an orange at 15 yards and of a water melon at 25.


The stopping power of the AF2011-A1 is tremendous: 2 bullets for a total of 460 Grains weight impacting at 1 to 2 inches apart (depending on the distance of the target) will knock down a bull, while the whole 18 bullets, for a payload exceeding 4000 Grains, can be delivered to the target in about 3 seconds.

So now, not only will you miss your target because you're such a terrible shot, but waste twice as much ammo in the process. That's right, I said it -- you couldn't hit the broad side of a barn! "It's true, I accidentally shot a pig." I know you did, Old MacDonald is pissed!

Hit the jump for a couple more shots from different angles and a video of the pew pews in action.

Thanks to Terry, who I tried to convince this is the perfect gun to play Russian roulette with. "But it's not a revolver!" Shhhhhhhhh -- I know.

    Dayummm .. looks like a beast!!

    I need two. why only shoot 2 bullets at a time when you could shoot 4?

    also, to all of the internet gunsmiths: the firearm has been in the works for a decade. i think they'd have the bugs figured out in that time period. and, besides, if it was catastophic failure, i doubt it'd be for sale.

  • this almost feels insulting :(

  • Yes. Let's create more dangerous weapons for the no life "gangsters" to murder people.

    Two words:  Lara...Croft.

    (Okay, maybe some 'Dirty' Harry Callahan, too)

    Stupid....a miss-fire waiting to happen

  • Thank you.

    It's like they made this gun for people with too much money and no knowledge of guns at all.

  • Lol same for me - first thing i thought about was Borderlands:D

  • Now if it had a bigger calibur than the 1911 then that thing could do some epic damage... or just dual weild 1911s and fail epicly against everything

  • What are you talking about? .45 is a beautiful round, you don't need anything bigger in a handgun.

  • You don't like .45 APC?

  • I loooove the way you always write- so funtastic!

  • Double the recoil would not be fun.

  • Jp

    Keep in mind it's got a lot of weight to it also. So i am sure that helps the recoil a lot

  • Recoil isn't bad on a 1911.

  • This_Update_Sucks

    Borderlands?
    Oh and my name is relevant again! :)

  • I'm guessing this is for hunting those animals that require at least 2 shots and leave little or no time to get off a second shot.  Oh wait...

  • There are a couple problems with this set up...

    1.) The mags are double mags, if you only want to shoot one barrel, leaving the other side empty, the slide will lock with each trigger pull, so from the start, you have to purchase more single mags in addition to the extra double mags that they are probably selling at a premium.

    2) If you load both barrels, and only pull one trigger, you are ejecting one spent piece of brass, and one unspent cartridge.  You don't have the option to fire only one barrel without working the action on the other.

    3) One of the beautiful things about the 1911 is that it is a very thin gun.  It's why I can conceal a full sized 1911 with ease.  Doubling the size takes that away.  I'm going to say that you would be better off just getting something with double stack mags.  You'll be able to throw just as much lead down range without the extra size. 

    Now, if you just want something to talk about at the range, this would be a great conversation starter.  Other than that, you have many other, probably far less expensive options that will shoot much better.

  • you can shoot with one mag if you notice it only locks on one side and even if it locked on both you could just leave one clip out but the point of it isnt really a carry gun or an everyday shooter its just a fun gun cause we can

  • No one said there were two triggers.
