    If there's two seperate triggers, even if close together, it should not have problems as being a MG.

    I believe it's two triggers that both actuate the same sear, firing two bullets. It's a solid slide, both rounds would have to fire together.

    Am I the only one who thinks this is a hoax?

    What's better than a 1911?

    Not two 1911's, that's for sure.

    I think a TT-33 is better. More modern ammo, better armor penetration, very similar trigger, higher power.

    Then... any well-engineered SA or DA/SA gun. 1911 is only so popular because millions got into the US gun pool from milsurp. Sure, it's a good, classical design, but definitely not the pinnacle of handgun design...

    A bit much, in my opinion.
    But yet those 1911's of WWI, II, Korean, and Vietnam era worked "right-outa-da-box". Imagine that. Sounds more like a quality control issue than an obsolete design.
