Holy crap, these things don't even look real. To be honest, they look like something you'd see in a video game. Thanks to cageymaru for the linkage.

What would make it more practical would be if it were dual 9mm so it wasn't so wide and you could fit higher ammo capacity, and still utilize an automatic double-tap firing mechanism so that when pulling the trigger it fires two 9mm per barrel before recoil can kick in and send the second one way too high.Jerry Mitchell? Nice. Not a particularly practical weapon, but boy, watching the slide move back and two casing eject at the same time was daaaaang cool.
@Steve. I was thinking Max Payne as soon as the video started.
Would have been perfect if he held them gangsta style
Good luck hitting anything holding them sideways.
That was sweet.
Kinda looked like one of the slugs in each gun was affecting the second slug in each gun.. in that they were traveling at slightly different speeds.
Could be. Loads can be off by a few fps.
I'm thinking if the hammer contacts the firing caps of each round even a little off-time, it'll take a lot of energy from the second round fired (since the slide is already traveling back). If the slide for each side wasn't mechanically connected, I think the bullet would retain a lot more of it's potential exit velocity.
...but don't ask me--I'm not an engineer.
It's deeply stupid beyond just a technical exercise.
The hammers are linked because if the hammers were out of time only one side would fire and it probably wouldn't cycle.
Yet, there are two triggers, almost certainly because if you fired 2 rounds with one trigger, ATF would consider it a machine gun. Two triggers, one mono-hammer - it probably has an interlock on the triggers so they both have to be depressed before it will fire.
In 3 . . 2 . . .1. . . it will be in an upcoming video game. . .
Nice! I see you finally upgraded from Windows ME.

How to take a classic design and royally fuck it up.

Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger

If I were designing it, I'd make it a single hammer with two contact points. Two separate firing pins would add needless mechanical complexity.
