Arsenal Firearms Double Barrel Pistol

New Italian firearms manufacturer Arsenal Firearms has arrived with a bang, introducing a double-barrel 1911 pistol that fires two .45-caliber projectiles simultaneously. At first glance, Arsenal's AF2011-A1 looks like two 1911s fused together, but a closer look reveals a more integrated platform that must have been a challenge to engineer. Arsenal produced a demo video that shows the firing of eight double-round .45 ACP rounds. In the demo, "4,000 grains of payload [are] sent downrange in about 5 seconds," a narrator says.
A comparible 9mm pistol would require about 30 rounds and several magazine changes to achieve the same result. While this gun is unlikely to ever see use in law enforcement as a duty weapon, it's clearly an engineering marvel, and we wouldn't decline an offer to shoot one. (policemag)

Nissan IDx NISMO Concept

Nissan has introduced today in Tokyo the retro-flavored IDx Freeflow and IDx Nismo concepts. Both of them have a classic Skyline-inspired design but with a hi-tech twist, especially inside their futuristic cabins. The IDx Freeflow is a compact concept measuring about 4.1 meters in length, 1.7 meters in width and 1.3 meters in height. It adopts a floating roof and sits on 18-inch chrome alloys while the exterior paint is a combination of white and flax (light brown). Under the hood it is envisioned with a variety of 1.2- to 1.5-liter gasoline engines coupled to a CVT. As for the IDx Nismo, it has the same length and height as the Freeflow but the width has increased to 1.8 meters. It rides on larger 19-inch alloys shod in 225/40 tires and benefits from a sporty body kit and a race-inspired interior with many metal surfaces. Both of them were made simply for conceptual purposes and won't get a direct production derivative. However, with the IDx duo Nissan could be hinting at a RWD competitor for the Toyota GT 86 / Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S trio. (worldcarfans)

U.S. Trailer For Hayao Miyazaki’s "The Wind Rises"

A new trailer for “The Wind Rises” is out, offering a glimpse at the film legendary animation director Hayao Miyazaki has said will be his last. The Studio Ghibli release tells the story of real-life Japanese engineer Jiro Horikoshi, who designed the Zero fighter plane. The film, based on a short story by Japanese poet Hori Tatsuo, follows Jiro through pre-World War II Japan, the country’s devastating 1923 earthquake, a tuberculosis epidemic and economic troubles that preceded the war. It’s a departure from Miyazaki’s previous work, which often relied on myth, magical realism and a strong focus on nature. “The Wind Rises,” which marks Miyazaki’s first time directing since “Ponyo” five years ago, was released briefly earlier this month for an Oscar-qualifying run. Originally in Japanese with English subtitles, “The Wind Rises” will be released for North American audiences under Disney’s Touchstone Pictures banner beginning Feb. 21 with a limited release and then expanding on Feb. 28.

Photos of the cabin were not provided but Mercedes-Benz says the Vision Gran Turismo comes with an F1-inspired cockpit with red integral sport seats that blend into the black flooring of the footwell to create a protective shell. The center display floats above the racing steering wheel providing all the necessary data while operation is handled via the rocker switches placed in the dashboard's center as well as in an overhead console.
