Hi Mike,

We must be neighbors- sort of. I shoot at GAT also. Sure would like to see that double barrel in action. Im sure the window will have a lot of " lookers"

I suspected we were close to each other.

I mostly shoot at Maxon; closer to home and IMHO, a nicer range (in the new store). However, when my wife said, "get it", GAT was the dealer that carried it.  I have to admit that I have bought my last 3 guns from them because they always have what I want in stock.

BTW, they still have 7 of these in stock if you're drool.

OK, Guys, here it is; the range report for the Arsenal AF2011-A1.

First, we (my son, visiting from CA went with me) thought this was going to be a real brutal gun to shoot, but it's not.  I don't think it's any tougher on the hands than shooting full-house .44 magnums. It's definitely fun to get 2 holes every time you pull the trigger. big-grin

However, 3 re-loads and you've used a box of ammo. It was fun, but won't go to the range really often, my wife will definitely get a chance to shoot it and then maybe my brother and my best friend, but that's about it.

Below is a pic of the target from the first trigger-pull.  I aimed a little low so it's good that there were 2 bullets fired so that one of them hit the armadillo. rofl

I didn't save another one-shot target because we were having too much fun.

Here's the pic:

Mike, I'm really curious on this-how do they get around the NFA standard of discharging more than one round per trigger pull? Are there two triggers? Obviously two barrels, and it looks like two triggers from your photo.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Hi Steve:

I am not familiar with this rule (law?).  Could the word simultaneously be part of the rule? If so, that would explain how they got around it.

The gun discharges both barrels at one pull of the 2 trigger(s), which are tied together.  They cannot be pulled separately nor can the barrels be fired separately.  However, the manual states that parts such as barrel, trigger and sear must not be swapped from side to side.  The gun is designed so that one barrel fires a micro-second after the other, ostensibly so that the muzzle blast from the first bullet to leave a barrel does not upset the bullet leaving from the second barrel.  Maybe it was also done so that the gun is not firing two cartridges simultaneously.

Perhaps that could explain things.  Maybe there is some other provision in the rule that allows this. I don't know the answer and I'm not sure where to look to find it.

I remember when these first came on the scene there was discussion that a weapon that fired more than one round from a single trigger pull might be considered to violate the National Firearms Act. The "more than one round per trigger pull" is one of the defining characteristics of a full auto weapon. My guess is that the twin triggers means that there are two trigger pulls and two rounds fired.

An interesting gun, to say the least
