Interesting gun tho I doubt its real practicability. What's the recoil is the big question. Firing one round is more then enough for most. Two at a time?????
Sounds like some sales gimic to me, not a serious weapon.

If it is not too clumsy and heavy to handle, I could actually see a use for it.
Two shots more than double the effect. So it should really be a heavy hitter. Recoil would also be doubled tho the extra weight would help some.

How much would this stepson of a gun cost?

because it fires two cartridges with one pull of the trigger,I fired hundreds of rounds through an M 1911 when I was on the unit pistol team back in the late 70s early 80s. We had "rack weapons" that were not modified in any way, and the trigger pull had to be over four lbs. I have two 1911 pistols, one standard and one match grade. I can't imagine two rounds firing at the same time. I've fired a .44 magnum and thought that thing had recoil.

But what happens if the bullets collide in mid air!?

Perhaps the two barrels should diverge at an angle of, say 7* laterally in your example.

You can order it with linked or separate triggers.

If the bullets hit, it would throw them both way off.
I doubt they would tho as the barrels are parallel. Also one would probably exit the barrel a split second ahead or behind the other.

Or when ya get a FTF on one side and a FTE on the other side both simultaneously after the same trigger press! For sure an interesting looking weapon tho.

Ike and Mike think alike. They think it’s ugly.

So what happens when you have a stove pipe/jam on one side and not the other?
Or worse a double jam. Oh the fun of having to clear two jams at once in a gun fight. Sometimes simple is better.

I always thought a double barreled Uzi or Sterling SMG would be cool.

for some reason i smell something foul with the atf approval. like something to use for gun control when used in a crime. perhaps i am mistaken. perhaps not.

They should know.
That picture always reminds me of an album cover I once owned by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils.
Now I gotta go find the picture...

Perfect good-guy weapon for Zombie and James Bond movies.
We could fill the entire comment section with double barreled trick shot fantasy scenes.

..... My guess is that only people with King Kong sized hands would be able to comfortably handle these monstrosities.
Single barreled weapons built on the 1911 frame were easily gripped by the average person ..... something tells me that it ain't gonna be the case with these puppies.
