It is an electrically-fired pepperbox style pistol with five barrels. Each barrel is preloaded and the barrel clusters are easily swapped &#8211; and must be returned to H&#038;K for reloading. Two different types of ammunition are made; DM91 bullets for firing in air and DM101 flechette darts for firing underwater.<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to Andy at H&#038;K for inspiring me to do this video, and to the British Royal Armouries for giving me access to this P11 to film!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/forgottenweapons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/forgottenweapons\/<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>Forgotten Weapons<br \/>6281 N.
