The Forte VD.01 [2] (often called Danuvia VD-01) is a pistol manufactured, for a short time, by Danuvia Engineering Industries from 1990. In 1998, the rights to manufacture were sold to Intermodul Weapon Shops. [1] The gun has gained some international attention as an oddity due to its unorthodox appearance and helical magazine. [2] The gun has polygonal rifling. [3]
Some prototypes of a machine pistol version were built. [4]
