Arsenal AF2011 Double Barrel 1911 vs. a TV (As Seen in James Bond - SPECTRE) - YouTube
Channel: TFB TV
[1]
(peppy music)
[14]
(static)
[34]
- What the f*ck man.
[40]
Come on.
[44]
(gunshots)
[49]
(slow motion gunshots)
[71]
Now, that's what I call
[74]
must see TV.
[77]
(laughs)
[82]
Do you have infinity dollars?
[85]
Are you a drug kingpin?
[91]
Would you drive a Lamborghini school bus?
[96]
Could you afford a Lamborghini school bus?
[102]
Do you have $6,000,
[106]
and do you want to spend it on two guns
[109]
welded into one gun?
[112]
If you answered yes to
any of those questions,
[115]
I've got the gun for you.
[119]
The Arsenal Double 1911.
[123]
That's right, I'm reviewing the
[125]
Arsenal Double 1911 for TFB.TV.
[128]
It sounds like I'm making fun of it,
[129]
but it's actually a pretty cool gun.
[132]
Now granted, I'm gonna
say this moving forward,
[134]
so we just get it out of the way,
[136]
there is literally no
practical purpose whatsoever
[139]
for this gun.
[141]
This is a gun you buy for fun.
[143]
This is a gun that costs $6,000.
[147]
This is a gun where if you
want to shoot something cool,
[150]
hey, it really is cool to shoot,
[153]
but for guys like you
and I, we're probably
[156]
not going to be able to afford it.
[158]
Relax, watch the video, enjoy
it, don't forget to subscribe.
[162]
Arsenal's Double 1911
is formally designated
[166]
the AF2011-A1 double barrel pistol.
[170]
Arsenal claims this came about
[171]
after Swiss armor Vivian Mueller
[174]
put together two SIG
P210's about ten years ago.
[180]
Arsenal said, inspired by this feat,
[183]
on the 100th anniversary of the 1911,
[186]
decided to make the 2011.
[189]
They claim that this is a
true industrial market ready
[192]
double barrel .45 caliber pistol
[194]
that they assembled in only six months
[197]
after what they call
intense round the clock
[199]
3D designing, modeling, and machining.
[202]
Now, whether or not a $6,000 gun
[205]
is actually a market ready
pistol, is up for debate,
[209]
however, one thing
that's not up for debate
[211]
is the fact that this double 1911
[214]
actually works as described.
[217]
In any case, they claim
that it's very pleasing,
[220]
accurate, and great fun.
[221]
There's no question that it's
a relatively accurate gun,
[224]
it's got a great trigger,
and it is great fun.
[227]
Now whether or not it's
pleasing is also questionable
[231]
because recoil is pretty
severe from this gun.
[235]
- [Mark] Jeez!
- [James] Yeah.
[236]
- [Mark] That kicks.
[237]
- [James] Yeah, no shit.
[238]
- [Mark] Ah, it knocked my contact out.
[240]
- [James] (laughs)
Knocked your contact out?
[242]
- My contact flew out.
[244]
- [James] (laughs)
[245]
- All right, I think we're back in.
[247]
(gunshots)
[251]
- [James] Arsenal goes on to promote, the
[253]
what they call tremendous stopping power
[255]
of the AF 2011.
[258]
Going out of their way to point out
[260]
that two bullets is a total of 460 grains
[264]
impacting one to two inches apart,
[267]
while the entire payload of 18 bullets
[269]
exceeds 4,000 grains.
[272]
This is interesting
because I cannot conceive
[274]
of a situation where
somebody is going to be
[277]
using the Arsenal 2011 in
a self-defense situation,
[281]
but hey, it's fun to
think about, isn't it?
[284]
As to the technical specs,
[286]
they say this is a
geometric lock semiautomatic
[289]
double barrel pistol.
[291]
It's got a short recoil 1911 action
[293]
and they make it in .45
ACP and .38 super auto.
[297]
And yes, while the AF 2011
does have two triggers,
[302]
pulling one trigger is sufficient
[304]
to discharge both barrels
[306]
as the gun has a single hammer
[309]
that hits both firing pins.
[311]
That said, the trigger's excellent,
[313]
just as you'd expect
from any high-end 1911.
[316]
As you can see, you basically have
[319]
two 1911 magazines put together,
[322]
and you load them alternatively.
[333]
I believe you.
[338]
Hold on, action on.
[340]
I have had problems today
[343]
with the last round, the last round
[345]
out of these magazines failing to feed.
[348]
Oh, it f*cking jammed dude.
[350]
- [Mark] I thought it was empty.
[352]
- [James] And as you can imagine
[354]
that can be kind of disastrous
if you need to clear them,
[359]
I mean it's almost funny
to even talk about this gun
[362]
in the hypothetical defense situation
[364]
because I would certainly
hope nobody would rely on this
[367]
as a self-defense gun.
[369]
I'm also finding that if you
do need to clear a malfunction,
[372]
it is very difficult because
you're basically trying
[376]
to clear two guns at the same time.
[378]
On, don't mess with it,
don't mess with it dude.
[380]
One more time will you
make sure I'm in this shot
[382]
and that one?
[384]
Before I shoot.
[385]
- [Mark] They should
really make one of these
[386]
with tons of rounds.
[387]
- It does, but please,
[388]
can you just f*cking tell
me if I'm in the shot?
[390]
- [Mark] Yes.
[391]
- And what about this one over here?
[394]
- [Mark] Ah, that's a picture.
[395]
Oh, no it's not, you just have a weird
[397]
f*cking look on your face.
[398]
- Am I in the shot?
[399]
- [Mark] Yeah, you're in the shot.
[400]
- Okay. That's a picture.
[403]
(gunshots)
[419]
Hold on.
[421]
Yeah.
[424]
- [Mark] You gotta yell
like action or something.
[428]
You didn't yell action, I don't know.
[430]
- It's been action.
[431]
Action has been happening.
[432]
- [Mark] You didn't say action.
[434]
- [James] I did try to fire the AF 2011
[436]
with only one round chambered,
[438]
and as you would imagine, of course,
[441]
it didn't even extract the round.
[443]
That of course is a positive sign because
[446]
had the 2011 actually extracted the round,
[449]
then that means that
the recoil compensation
[451]
system for the AF 2011,
would be awfully light.
[455]
The sights are interchangeable,
[457]
and they come in fixed
and adjustable versions,
[460]
and this all steel monster weighs
[462]
just a hair over four pounds, unloaded.
[466]
Wow.
[468]
As you saw, the Arsenal 1911 comes in this
[471]
fancy aluminum locked
case that's velvet lined.
[475]
Very appropriate if you're going to be
[477]
dropping this kind of
cheese on a double 1911.
[481]
And unsurprisingly, the
recoil is a little bit harder
[484]
on this 1911 because
you are kinda shooting
[487]
two guns at once.
[488]
While there's a substantial
amount of weight
[491]
behind this 1911, or these 1911's?
[495]
Is that how you say it, I dunno.
[497]
While there's... they're weighty,
[500]
it still doesn't do much
to sap up the recoil.
[504]
There is quite a bit of kick,
[505]
and what I found is
[508]
taking a grip
[510]
instead of, instead of trying to get
[514]
a full grip under that tang
[517]
get as much thumb as you can underneath it
[519]
and then thumb on top of thumb,
[523]
but you can see
[525]
and I definitely flinched
too, I'm gonna own up to that,
[527]
but you can definitely tell,
a little red on the hand.
[531]
Now this obviously isn't
made for tournament shooting,
[534]
it's not made to concealed
carry, that would be awesome,
[538]
it's not made for
hunting, it's not made for
[544]
really any other purpose except novelty.
[547]
And chances are if you're looking at this
[550]
and you wanna buy this, you
know what you're getting into.
[553]
This is a novelty gun.
[555]
I checked the web, tried to
find a few of these for sale
[558]
and it looked like
they're going for around
[560]
just shy of six grand
for the blued version
[563]
as I'm shooting here today.
[565]
So they're definitely pricey
and you need some cash to blow
[569]
if you're going to go double 1911.
[572]
As far as the trigger goes
[574]
the trigger's pretty good.
[576]
The triggers, one of the questions
that I get asked the most
[579]
about this gun, is, you
know, what happens when...
[584]
how do the triggers work?
[585]
Are you firing one barrel at a time?
[588]
Do you need to pull both the
triggers at the same time?
[591]
And that's not the case.
[592]
All you need to do is
pull one of the triggers.
[595]
One of the triggers will
trip the other trigger,
[598]
and it's a pretty light trigger pull.
[601]
For a 1911 it's heavier than usual,
[604]
but that said, we're still talking, I mean
[607]
three, four pounds.
[609]
It's still pretty light, and
that's for both triggers.
[611]
As I referred to earlier,
I found the best approach
[614]
when you're shooting this double 1911
[617]
is to, I'm right handed,
[620]
stick to the right trigger,
just pull the right trigger,
[622]
and just shoot it as if
you're shooting a normal gun.
[626]
Don't try to get, don't get too little
[629]
hand behind that grip.
[630]
Don't try to get both of those triggers,
[632]
you'll probably end up hurting yourself.
[635]
Just pulling one trigger is sufficient,
[638]
and you can even see
the hammer is one piece.
[642]
So to conclude my review of the AF 2011,
[645]
first a big thank you
to Sooner State Arsenal
[648]
for sending me one to review.
[649]
This is an expensive gun, they let me
[651]
have it for a long time, I
really appreciate it guys.
[654]
And if any of you are
looking for one of these,
[657]
I'm going to put Sooner State Arsenal's
[659]
contact information in the
description of the video
[662]
so you can get one from them.
[663]
So vis-a-vis the gun, why would you want
[666]
to get one of these?
[667]
Now, like I've said in the video,
[669]
this isn't made to appeal to the masses,
[671]
this isn't a concealed carry gun,
[673]
it's not something you keep in your truck,
[675]
this is for you guys, you
Desert Eagle collectors,
[677]
you people who want something really fun,
[681]
really unique, maybe a little flashy,
[683]
this is right up your
alley if you're not worried
[686]
about spending a few grand to get it.
[688]
All that said, for the concept,
[691]
I mean this is a double 1911,
[693]
for the concept it's pretty well executed.
[696]
We did have problems occasionally feeding
[699]
the last round in the magazine,
[700]
but that seems like a magazine issue
[703]
rather than a gun issue.
[705]
And that might be something
that's easily fixed,
[707]
but I don't know.
[708]
Since you're not going to be
using this for self-defense,
[710]
it seems like that last round reliability
[712]
isn't of upmost importance.
[715]
You're probably buying
this for your collection
[717]
or just for fun.
[718]
And I know a lot of you
guys are going to be
[719]
ragging on this gun in the comments,
[721]
but this gun isn't for everybody.
[723]
For those of you looking
for something fun,
[725]
something unique, something
out of the ordinary,
[727]
and you got six G's to blow,
[729]
I think you'll be happy with it.
[731]
Thanks again for watching guys,
[733]
I really appreciate it.
[734]
Don't forget to subscribe.
[735]
See you next time.
[737]
And I know since some of you guys
[739]
are probably curious,
[740]
here's what the back of that TV looks like
[742]
after shooting it with
.45 ball ammunition.
[747]
Not necessarily the cleanest exits,
[750]
but your .45 definitely has enough oomph
[753]
to get through a TV, then some.
[756]
As you can see though, not all the .45
[758]
actually made it all
the way through the TV.
[761]
There are quite a few divots,
[763]
and I'm sure there are some .45 slugs
[765]
rattling around inside that TV right now.
