Double barrel pistol

[Mike Laserbeam]

I find this so insanely strange...
I literally can't understand anything about this part of American culture

 

[Electrohydra]

So, if I get this will I still need to double-tap the zombie I just shot?

 

[Lrbearclaw]

And yes, that gun needs to be in a game soon as it is drool worthy.

Reminds me of Vincent's gun... me like.

That thing looks awful.

Pistols aren't really my thing, never actually fired one, but if I did I'd probably go for something historic like an SAA or a Webley, or that Five-seveN thing with its funny little bullets.

Thought the whole idea of a double barrel was either:

a.) birdshot in one for hunting, and 00/ball/slug in the other in case a deer/unfriendly native rocked up.
b.) different chokes for different ranges.

If you want a double barrel pistol, who not get a Derringer?

At last! I've been waiting for that word to come up for the past two pages.

"Derringers - Keeping it classy since 1866"

again in modern warfare pulling a pistol is about as useful as fixing your bayonet... that is to say if that order is ever given you are dead already

There are a number of British soldiers who would beg to differ.Successful bayonet actions have taken place in Afghanistan and Iraq. Clearly no-one wants to be in that close but at pistol range things are hardly peachy.

One of the primary reasons longarms are issued to officers over sidearms is to stop making them such obvious targets.

Not sure about this wounding round rubbish, if you're shooting someone then killing is your objective, especially within effective pistol range. At close quarters mearly wounding an enemy is a bad idea.

Who wants to bet that the next thing they do is 'update' the M28 Thompson to utilize C-Mags and RIS Rails? I shudder at the thought...

Spoiler

Seriously, i'd love the ability of a removable RIS rail, think of all the holograph sights i can put on it? Ruining classics for the win!

OT: Seems like they just welded two M1911's and magazines together.
Bleh, i'd prefer akimbo.

you know the word derringer is just a misspelling of Henry Deringer's last name... so ya not that classy... also they existed before 1866

I stand corrected - I got the year wrong! What an absolute fool I must look!

But seriously, it was a joke, man! No need to be snarky with everyone because you've gotten into an argument with someone about the relative merits of different types of ammunition

How horrible is that? lol

 

[ssgt splatter]

Neat.
I must remember to own this gun before the zombie apocalypse comes.

wha-what?

How uncouth. Real gentlemen use muzzleloading pistols;

*adjusts monocle*

I concur. Truely a gentleman's gun, usable for all dueling purposes.
