The video credits said something about being Made In Italy...so is this just Italian engineers showing off?

Guess it is not a machine gun since there are 2 triggers?

That's the silliest thing I've ever seen. Can't really call Glock a "brick" by comparison (not gonna carry that IWB). And talk about ugly ... JMB is rolling over in his grave.

Negatives:
Twice the size.
Twice the weight.
Gonna bet at least twice the cost.
Can't fire it one handed.
Can't conceal it.
Can't buy a holster for it.
Gonna bet if one side fails then the whole gun fails.

Positives:
Perp will be twice as dead with two .45 caliber holes side by side in his chest as he would with one .45 caliber hole?

I think I'd rather buy a double Alessi shoulder rig with a matched pair of Detonics .45s.

What a stupid idea. At first, I thought it was a parody video, then I realized they were serious.

It'd be cool to just have the lefty half.

What happens if you only press one of them? Does it eject the unfired round in the other chamber? Or does one shot lack power to cycle two recoil springs completely?

For every purpose except getting laughs, I think two 1911s would be better than this double barrel cluster gun.
