Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Arsenal Firearms AF2011-A1?

The Arsenal Firearms AF2011-A1, also known as the Prismatic Dueller, is a unique semi-automatic pistol featuring two barrels and two triggers (or a single trigger firing both) that fire two rounds of .45 ACP simultaneously with one pull.

How does the AF2011-A1 handle different ammunition types fired together?

During testing, a faster Hornady 220gr Flex Tip round fired alongside a slower 230gr ball round created distinct ballistic effects. The faster round generated a larger initial temporary cavity, influencing the path of the slower round.

What technology was used for the ballistics testing?

The ballistics testing utilized high-speed cameras, recording at frame rates of 8,200 fps and 14,000 fps, along with ballistic gelatin to meticulously analyze the terminal performance and wound cavity formation of dual .45 ACP projectiles.

What were the key findings regarding the Hornady Flex Tip ammunition?

The Hornady 220-grain +P Flex Tip ammunition demonstrated excellent expansion after approximately 16 inches of penetration in ballistic gelatin and created a more pronounced temporary cavity compared to a standard ball round when fired simultaneously.
