Not happy with what I learnt, probably should never have tried it.
The real question is, is there any situation in which dual wielding be be legitimately advantageous? I assume that’s more of a “spray and pray” style of shooting, and you wouldn’t be able to aim and shoot as accurately as you would with your single pistol
dual-wielding isn't meant to try to use both firearms simultaneously, you're supposed to swap between them as you need them instead of having to reload but you shouldn't be shooting both at the same time, this was particularly true in the old west days when reloading took an extremely long time, especially if you had the old cap-and-ball types instead of cartridge
and this goes doubly for the single-shot muzzleloaders from the age of sail, that's why you see pirates carrying like a dozen of the flintlock pistols on them so they can shoot one at a time at a new target without worrying about having to reload after every shot
I recall a samurai TV series set around the 1600s where the main character had three flintlocks strapped to his armour for similar purposes. But in the climatic engagement with the main antagonist, he doesn't end up using them, despite multiple scenes beforehand where he trained his quickdraw skills.
retard filmaker probably forgot that the bad guys always need disposable mooks around them so the main character can show off the skills that he has been honing during the movie
>But in the climatic engagement with the main antagonist, he doesn't end up using them, despite multiple scenes beforehand where he trained his quickdraw skills
That's kind of a trope of samurai films. Lots of epic training and foreshadowing but the climax is actually mundane or through some completely different means.
We were blue balled with a Beatrix v Bill sword fight too, also a Beatrix v Vernita knife fight. In both cases, the duel was accepted, scheduled and terms agreed to and then *spoilers* they immediately attempted to sucker punch her and she killed them.

i've read that this shit didnt actually happen much because pistols were expensive, fighting with one in cqc was fairly difficult, so everyone just hacked eachother apart with a variety of swords and repurposed farming equipment/marine tools
idk how people can go on at length about the 21 foot rule and then assume pirates were holstering and drawing multiple pistols in a swirling melee
You didn't do it during the melee, you did it during the last bits of closing to board the ship before the stabbing started, and there's plenty of historical examples of wealthy pirates who'd have a brace of pistols.

None.
Akimbo is a fantasy. Even in VR shooters with no weight and simulated recoil it's better to use a single pistol unless you're magdumping into a static guy directly in front of you.
>Theoretical: Anything that you can sight along the body to your target well enough, and is balanced enough that you can swing them around, one handed, and the muzzle will fairly reliably not shift in your grip. >Practical: Berettas seem to be the thread concensus.
None. Akimbo stance is standing with your hands on your hips. What you’re trying to ask about is dual wielding. For that, I find that a Redhawk with Pachmayrs in my right hand and a Single Six in my left hand is a good mix.
revolvers
Berettas of course. Counter Strike told me so
I unironically dual wield my Berettas when bored in my house.
Also Underworld and The Matrix, if you need more proof
And this home larper
AND this kino!
Are all proper(cool) depictions of akimbo really Berettas?
max payne you moron
I will give you one better
raffica models would be peak kino
This too, Still need more Proof?

Flintlocks
HK VP9. Ambi controls, adjustable grip panels to make the grip fit for each hand, consistent and light trigger pull for blastin'
this, bought one to practice shooting with other hand. very comfy
obviously

Admittedly a stretch, but maybe extreme close quarters or if up against lots of attackers within a few yards
its called a grenade
when fighting narrow area with a whole load of lightly armored people, and you have no higher capacity automatic/ grenade. you get that in movies.

Especially given that everyone you liked equalled a free pistol

I miss throwing entire handfuls of d6s.
back when revolvers took 30 seconds to several minutes to reload
Defending a hallway or bridge from a Zulu charge.
trying to hold a large group captive while waiting for backup to arrive
Uzi, or any other "machine pistol."
You'll certainly hit SOMETHING.
Deagles
Dual miniguns.
QUAD MINIGUNS YOU DOUBLE moron
No, he was right, cyborg hitler was clearly akimbo weilding two dual miniguns, you quad moron

Lmao. Kek even
Hard Boiled and A Better Tomorrow 1 & 2 are great movies.
Yes
Teal'c dual wielding P90s was immensely kino.
>Yes
I don't like The Killer though. It's too slow.
I can't watch the Killer anymore because the end is too sad. 🙁

Wow you suck I was raping in VR with dual pistols. Didn’t play sports as a kid?
Dual wielding in VR works okay but only if you have a tracers and volume of fire and reloading isn't a problem. Lasers also help aiming.
If you're not playing "paintball" at 100m or less, sights and sight picture become much more important.

thank you Aeonid Thiel
M60s are probably best, M240s work as well.
Flintlocks, unironically.
AWPs
The USP match of course.
Reasons to own a Beretta and tokarev. Hard boiled.
Flintlock pistols
Having actually attempted it for shits and giggles a few times.
Tokarevs sort of work, 1911s feel pretty nice, Hi-Point C9s will both jam immediately.
Do with that information what you will.
Tomorrow never dies has an asymmetric dual wielding bond with a MP5K and some pistols.
Also a dual wielding MP5 stronk bondgirl.
None. Akimbo stance is standing with your hands on your hips. What you’re trying to ask about is dual wielding. For that, I find that a Redhawk with Pachmayrs in my right hand and a Single Six in my left hand is a good mix.
None. Akimbo stance is standing on the airfield with your hands on your belt buckle. What you're trying to ask about is disappointment stance.
God-tier scene.
Flintlock pistols
>Berretas (or a Berreta with a Taurus, as was the case in many John Woo scenes)
>Single Action Army
>Cap and Ball Revolvers
>Muzzleloading Pistols
Most Berettas you see in Hard Boiled are Taurus copies. I don't know why this information is making me sad.
Did HK studios specifically import them to use as props in films?
Import no. There are companies around asia that make prop models out of real guns the sell/rent them out. Typically cheaper models too.
If they're not real then how are they Taurus copies? Or were the props copied FROM Taurus models?
