Is one gun just not badass enough? Try two! As far back as the Westerns of the 1950s, The Gunslinger has often strapped on two pistols. Double-fisted firing of handguns just looks cool. Especially when the shooter hits two different targets with one noisy, confusing volley. Slow-mo leaping and dodging with Bullet Time effects not required, but helpful. Bonus points if the weapons of choice are fully automatic machine pistols, like Ingram SMGs or Micro-Uzis, and/or are held Gangsta Style. This trope is a standard feature of The Western. Usually the two-gun fighter is just that much better than his opponents, that he can draw two guns in the time it takes them to draw one. In The Old West and The Cavalier Years, carrying two pistols was a practical result of long reload times. Combing this trope with Throw-Away Guns meant some people carried several guns strapped to their body to keep up a steady rate of fire. In police oriented shows, procedurals and action media alike, this trope is largely a villain trait. The two-gun fighter is usually a destructive psycho with no regard for collateral damage, particularly Two Uzi Guy. Police characters and other heroes will usually be contrasted by using proper technique with a single gun, showing their discipline and concern for safety. In stylized action media, especially Heroic Bloodshed movies and Anime, this trope is one of the primary elements of the art of Gun Fu. The two-gun fighter in these media is often very skilled, has Heroic Ambidexterity, can pick off multiple targets with pinpoint accuracy, use his guns as melee weapons and maybe do other crazy things one would not normally be able to do with a gun. The style of shooting varies wildly with the user. A guns akimbo shooter might concentrate rapid fire on a single target at a time, simply doubling his output of bullets on the target by using two guns. He might instead track multiple targets at the same time, aiming in different directions or even behind his back. If he has automatic weapons, he may spray both guns wildly to saturate the area with lead. Overlapping with Throw-Away Guns, the character might simply draw a second weapon with his off-hand when his primary weapon runs out to save time in reloading, the classic "New York Reload." The logical conclusion is to make the wielder Multi-Armed and Dangerous. As one might expect, real life attempts at executing this go very differently. While it's absolutely possible (and has been demonstrated) to concentrate your fire on one target with two guns, tracking multiple targets at the same time is nigh impossible. The latter has been tried and tested exhaustively (including by MythBusters), and the consensus is that a human being cannot accurately track and shoot two targets in two different locations at the same time - though that doesn't necessarily dispel the Rule of Cool factor surrounding this trope. And said character might not be an ordinary human being. Compare Dual Wielding, Sword and Gun, and Firing One-Handed. A popular way of achieving More Dakka. See also Gun Kata and Gun Fu. Like other fighting styles with multiple weapons, this may be a manifestation of Heroic Ambidexterity. Not to be confused with the 2019 film of the same name, which prominently invokes this by bolting a pistol to each of a very unlucky Daniel Radcliffe's hands. |

Major Phil Stark in Invasion America invoked this trope a couple of times. Once while trying to find David on Maple Island (humorously used against a stray tree branch that David manipulated to distract him while he escaped), and again at the Glenport Galeria while trying to rescue him from Simon and Sonia. | |

Subverted in the 1990s version of The Untouchables. The senior member confronts a villain who framed him. The villain tries to resist with twin tommy guns. However, the idiot doesn't realize that given how heavy the gun type is, he can't even keep them level and so doesn't do much more than shoot up the floor in front of him with a lot of noise. For his part, the Untouchable simply shoots the villain with two carefully aimed pistol shots. | |

The Game Changer, being a Genre Throwback to old-school Heroic Bloodshed cinema, has it's protagonist, Jie, kicking ass using twin pistols, using them to take names in multiple shootouts. At the end of the movie when Zi-hao raids Boss Tang's mansion, he use twin pistols as well, apparently in memory of the deceased Jie. | |

In The Bourne Identity, Jason Bourne does this near the end of the film, when he nails a mook and strips him of his weapon. It doesn't seem like he intends to use it, but then he's "surprised" by a second gunman, and improvises by firing the second pistol upside-down, with his little finger, because he doesn't have time to readjust. Justified in that he fires at a single target at point blank range, so aiming is not an issue. | |

In Zombicide, some weapons are considered "dual" (the pistols, machine pistols and the Sawed-Off Shotguns for guns). If you have two identical dual weapons equipped, you can fire both at the same area for one action. Also, you can pick up the Ambidexterity skill to consider every weapon as a dual weapon. Also, there is one weapon called the Evil Twins, taking only one inventory slot and considered only one weapon, though the evil twins are two handguns. | |

Done fairly often in Digimon. Deputymon in 02 has this western style, and it gets better in the third movie. Later in Tamers, when we're introduced to Gargomon, he does this with two machine gun hands. Later, Beelzemon pulls this off once in Bullet Time. | |

In the film version of Ender's Game, the titular character jumps into the Battle Room, grabs a floating stun gun from the enemy army as well as his own and uses them to knock out a number of enemy soldiers. He even does a typical John Woo-style spin with guns pointing in different directions, although, by that point, he's been hit and his suit frozen. Later, Petra does this to take out 12 soldiers of two armies. | |

The Corruptor stands out as one of the few movies where Chow Yun-Fat doesn't rely on Guns Akimbo. The only time he wields two guns is because he already had his backup weapon drawn and only kills one guy this way. He even uses the same service weapon throughout the movie — and he reloads it! Mind, the film is a much more straightforward crime drama compared to many of Yun-Fat's other movies, with only a pinch of Heroic Bloodshed thrown in for flavor. | |

Before he becomes RoboCop (1987), Murphy engages in a vehicle-to-vehicle gun battle with Boddicker's mooks, during which this trope appears. (Lewis is driving the patrol car while he's firing both their pistols out the passenger window.) Surprisingly Realistic Outcome occurs as he only manages to hit one mook, once, non-fatally. Every other shot misses badly. Notably, he doesn't attempt the maneuver at any point in his cybernetic existence, when he could conceivably pull it off thanks to software-enhanced Improbable Aiming Skills. | |

In an episode of Psych Lassiter gets into a brief shootout with a robber and blazes away at him with a pair of pistols while the robber returns fire one handed, both of them failing to score a hit. Justified by the fact that Lassiter is Trigger-Happy, Properly Paranoid, and Crazy-Prepared so having a pair of guns on him during a birthday party seems perfectly normal for him. | |

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. Madison Lee fires two golden Desert Eagle .50 Action Express both simultaneously and Woo Style (they are chambered in .50 Action Express as you can see in a lot of close-ups on the muzzles). Not that there was any recoil distracting her, by the way. Still not enough? There's a Mongolian earlier in the film dual-wielding belt-fed machine guns in full-auto mode. | |

The first multi-shot handguns were fixed-frame revolvers, which could only be loaded one round at a time (many of them didn't even use cased ammo yet, requiring powder and shot to be hand-loaded in each chamber) via a thumb-operated "loading gate", and on top of that, unloading the casings was just as much of a hassle: tip the gun upwards, open the loading gate, then pull on a metal ejector rod beneath the barrel to push out each casing. All optimized for lefties, by the way, because handguns at the time were designed for use by cavalry who would be holding a horse's reins or a saber in their right hand. To keep that hassle off the battlefield, shooters would thus carry multiple guns and load them beforehand, fire six rounds from one, then switch. "They only used them simultaneously in movies." She then proceeds to compare shot groupings by firing with two guns, then a two-handed grip. The two-handed grip gives her enough accuracy to cut a target in half. And by changing fifteen-round magazines just before she fires the fifteenth round from the first mag, she's able to fire thirty shots in as many seconds! Ironically, this actually gets her fired, since the shooting range owner's business model is cheap range time and selling lots and lots of ammo — teaching them how to shoot accurately means they buy less ammo. | |

In The Mummy, it's common for the American characters to dual-wield revolvers. However, this is only used in situations where there are an overwhelming number of enemies, negating the need for accuracy. When facing several riders bearing down on him, in fact, Rick O'Connell (the main character, played by Brendan Fraser) empties two revolvers at them...then drops them and draws two more. However, he never fires simultaneously (another possible advantage being that he can more easily cover a wider angle). | |

The Matrix: Neo dual-wields pistols at several points in the first film, though again his being in the Matrix meant his strength was far higher than humans could normally have. In one sequence, he fires dual silenced 9mm pistols using subsonic ammunition; the relative lack of recoil would make this slightly more plausible than most other forms of Guns Akimbo. He even switches off which one he's aiming down at certain points. Mouse dual-wields automatic shotguns in a Last Stand when cornered by the police/agents, using custom designs that are apparently meant for this since part of the weapon wraps around the user's forearm. Trinity, Morpheus, and Seraph all dual-wield during the battle in the Club Hel coatroom. |

X-Wing Rogue Squadron: Typically characters will stick to one blaster at a time, though some will carry more than one around. Wedge is like this, but in Requiem for a Rogue he escapes and saves his rescue party while not only dual-wielding stolen pistols, but also crossing them◊. The short Family Ties arc has Corran and Iella◊ pull a Big Damn Heroes moment on three members of Rogue Squadron who were having some trouble with thugs. Corran, like Wedge, even crosses his arms while firing at two different targets. They're part of Corsec - think police - so this is probably all Rule of Cool. It's worth noting that just a page later Corran holsters one blaster to try and make a sniper shot with the other, and when making an attack on more thugs, where they aren't rescuing anyone being held down, no one dual-wields.◊ |

The reason the Two-Gun Kid is called that is because he, well, wields two guns. The prevalence of the trope gets some Lampshade Hanging in his Marvel Westerns one-shot where he discusses gimmicks with Old Man Svenson and claims this is his, only to be asked, "but don't all a' ya got two guns?" | |

Shown fairly realistically in the cult film Angel (1984), about a teenaged prostitute who is being targeted by a serial killer. In the climax, right when she is about to be murdered by the killer, her friend Kit Carson (played by veteran actor Rory Calhoun) lights the killer up with his twin .45 revolvers. Played straight in that he only shoots one gun at a time, cocks and aims his guns carefully, and does not stop firing until he's sure the man isn't getting back up (but he is very careful not to empty his pistols, just in case). Justified in that Kit is an experienced street performer specializing in showing off his skill with his pistols, and he has decades of experience. | |

Lyrical Nanoha: Teana Lanster from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS does this with a pair of pistols that can become a pair of energy daggers for Dual Wielding. Justified in that she trained herself in ambidextrous shooting from a young age, and her mentor recognized this as her special skill and organized a custom-made dual Device for her. Arnage of the Hückebein family from Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force uses two BFGs at once. Gatling Good plus rocket launchers combined in one weapon which she has twice. Both BFGs together forming a Wave-Motion Gun. |

Vash the Stampede in Trigun (A Cattle Punk setting), on some very rare occasions, uses two weapons at once. In fact, since his left hand is a gun, and he carries his favored weapon in his right, he's basically dual wielding at all times, even if he doesn't usually use both at once. And Knives once uses two world-ending beam cannons at once. In the manga, one we get Wolfwood's best friend/nemesis Livio the Double Fang, who dual-wields paired guns that can shoot forward and backwards simultaneously. Livio's alter-ego Razlo takes this trope even farther, having a cybernetic arm grafted to his back so that he can triple-wield three massive, six-foot steel cross Punishers. Wolfwood also gets into this at least once with the pistols hidden inside his own Punisher. |

Gundam Arios has two double barreled beam rifles (and a pair of beam gatlings mounted in each arm). Not to be trumped, Gundam Virtue and Gundam Seravee are both capable of using two beam bazookas at once. Gundam Zabanya (which succeed Dynames and Cherudim) can not only akimbo two of its 10 Rifle Bits, but also break them down to Pistol Bits for the same purpose. | |

Wyatt calmly walks over to his horse, grabs a shotgun, approaches the mook and blows him away at POINT BLANK RANGE. The look on the mook's face turns to abject horror as every one of his shots misses wide and Wyatt approaches with his boomstick. It's absolutely priceless. | |

Spike Spiegel of Cowboy Bebop fame occasionally uses two guns akimbo. Appropriately, in a possible subversion of the trope, every time he does this he is unable to kill his opponent fast enough to avoid being shot in return (invariably wounding his left arm and forcing him to continue the fight with just his dominant hand), save for one flashback sequence where we do not even see who he is shooting at. | |

Power Rangers: In the Power Rangers Time Force and Wild Force teamup Jen, the Time Force Pink Ranger and leader of the team, uses two Chrono Blasters to shoot down the Putrids, and as such it is an example of Fanservice Keeping in mind that the character is using Laser Pistols (oops, we mean Blasters) which have little-to-no recoil (at general fire power mind you) and comes from the future where humans have perfected DNA modification technology, it's not too far a stretch to make it a plausible situation. Another example involving Jen comes in the episode where she goes on a little revenge kick, complete with slow-motion shots and a jumping split while firing in midair in the John Woo style. Also with The Power Rangers S.P.D. Red Ranger. the two pistols also form a rifle if needed. The Zords usually get into this too. In Power Rangers Turbo, the Rescue Megazord's Finishing Move involves firing simultaneously a giant flamethrower and an equally big gatling gun. The SWAT Megazord in Power Rangers S.P.D. does a more standard version when dealing with multiple opponents. |

Subverted when Neon Genesis Evangelion did it with Giant Robots. Asuka starts off her showdown with the 14th Angel firing one rifle, but with a bunch of weapons stacked behind her (probably a 7 Samurai Shout-Out). As she runs out of ammo, she progresses through (giant) machine-guns akimbo to (multi-shot) bazookas-akimbo. Unfortunately for her, it's So Last Season. | |

The Mandalorian Justified with the IG-11 droid, as it is built so it can both shoot and aim in two different directions at the same time. The title character has the occasional Dual Wielding moment, but this is only when the situation requires it. In "The Prisoner", former Imperial sharpshooter Mayfield not only uses two pistols, he has a robotic arm that can fire a third pistol. This makes his sharpshooting an Informed Attribute, as he just blasts his opponents with More Dakka. |

Appears a lot in Hot Fuzz. Then again, it's a comedy. For an example of how silly it gets, one character fires two pistols while riding down the street on a motability scooter. Slowly. Then there's the part where Nicholas Angel (briefly) dual-wields pens. Notably, when Angel's character does fire two pistols at once, he doesn't hit anything until he puts one away and takes an aimed shot with the other gun. | |

In Plain Sight: In "Lola", the lead character and her partner pull out their backup weapon in order to drive off some assassins coming after the witness they're protecting. Played realistically: the only time anyone manages to hit anyone during that gunfight is using a single gun, and the two guns are used more for suppressive fire than to actually kill anyone. | |

Luke Cage (2016): Tone, Cottonmouth's main enforcer, uses a pair of Heckler & Koch MP5K submachine guns to shoot up Pops' barbershop during his attempted hit on Chico, a guy who has stolen from Cottonmouth. It's incredibly inefficient and reckless on his part as he only succeeds in riddling the barbershop with bullets (which is considered a neutral territory by the local gangs), he fails to kill his target, and he only succeeds in killing Pop, who caught a stray in the neck. Cottonmouth is furious enough about that last point that he kills Tone by throwing him off the roof of Harlem's Paradise. Diamondback fires twin Walther PPK pistols in this pose when shooting at Misty Knight in Harlem's Paradise, and later when killing Domingo. Domingo likes to wield dual Berettas in gunfights. |

Homestuck's Jake English uses this thanks to his weapon of choice, twin M9 Berettas, inherited from his grandmother. In fact, nearly all the handguns he has been seen wielding are paired up for this particular style of gunslinging (dual flintlocks, twin M9s, matched golden guns), to the point that his Strife Specibus is this, formally known as Double Pistolkind (2xpistolkind). | |

Justified by Briareos Hecatonchires of Appleseed. A heavily modified cyborg, Briareos is the only man to date that's proven able to handle his experimental Hecatonchires operating system that controls his cybernetics. Named for the legendary 100 armed giants of Greek myth, a Hecatonchires equipped cyborg could presumably operate an entire aircraft carrier by himself due to the incredibly advanced processing power it allows them. Briareos generally just settles for dual-wielding machine guns, or even quad-wielding when in his Landmate by holding two normal sized guns in his actual arms and two enormous rifles in the Landmate's. | |

In Schlock Mercenary, a four-armed alien states that the mercenaries should recruit him because with four arms, he can fire four guns at once. The recruiting officer points out that, with two eyes, he can only track one target at a time. However in a later comic he is seen quad-wielding pistols to shoot at birds. Played straight, however, with Sergeant Schlock who, since he is able to grow additional hands as required, will cheerfully dual or triple wield BFGs; then again, Schlock can also reorient his eyes, so this isn't so unrealistic, particularly while he had an extra pair of eyes. When it came to dual-wielding his 20 kg Plasma Cannon, though, the officers had some objections. |

A recurring character in Exalted, the Nameless Solar, is never seen without twin plasma tongue repeaters. One of the early spoilers for Shards of the Exalted Dream was a BFG known as a Godcannon. Its minimum strength requirement of 2 means that with a little bit of strength-boosting, you can dual-wield guns with 4-foot barrels and firing chambers the size of a torso. |

Stargate: Stargate SG-1 once showed Daniel Jackson doing this with his Beretta M92F and an MP5. But for the ultimate extreme, Teal'c was once seen wielding two P-90s (although he only fired one at a time). In fact, other episodes feature Teal'c firing two Jaffa staffs, and even two MP7s simultaneously. The Daniel Jackson example is something of a subversion as he is still in his "incompetent archaeologist" phase and does more damage to the walls. Justification: Teal'c is repeatedly shown to be stronger than almost any human could be; he also needed to be covering two hallways simultaneously. Fabrique Nationale, the manufacturer of the P-90, produced an advertisement video that showed a man firing two P-90s at once on full automatic. This was intended only to demonstrate how the 5.7mm round (unique to the P-90 and Five-seveN pistol) generates very little recoil. Cameron Mitchell also uses two guns while fighting zombies in the 200th episode. Justified in that this was an Imagine Spot, so practicality isn't exactly what he was going for. The Stargate Atlantis episode "The Return Part II" has Teyla wielding not one but two ARG's ( Anti Replicator Guns) in the classic cross-armed casual shoot. Justified-ish considering that they're energy weapons with no recoil. "Sateda" has Ronon mixing this with copious amounts of Gun Fu. In this case, one of the weapons is his signature Traveler blaster and the other is his native Satedan BFG (designed specifically to kill Wraiths). Several times in Stargate Atlantis Dr. McKay is shown using dual pistols. Granted he is shown to miss more than he is to hit. A Wraith does this with two assault rifles. Somewhat averts most of the problems with the trope. Wraiths are much, much physically stronger than humans. He is completely inaccurate, doesn't fire enough shots for reloading to be an issue, and never fires or even raises both guns at the same time. Basically seems to invoke the trope to avoid the need to reload, which he would have if he only had one gun. |

Dwight from the Sin City story The Big Fat Kill wields two .45s, as does Hartigan at one point in That Yellow Bastard (both featured in the movie, by the way). Also, another Sin City story, Family Values, includes a double-Uzi assassination, which is a deconstruction, as the collateral damage caused by it is why Dwight and Miho go after the guy responsible. At one point Dwight's .45s results in a Shout-Out to The Shadow. |

In Black Lagoon, this is why Revy, the main badass of the series, is known as "Two Hands." She not only wields two pistols at once, she also performs such feats as gunning down groups of enemies 180 degrees apart and reloading one weapon with her teeth while keeping up fire with the other, acrobatic leaps while firing, and more. Somehow, it works. The liner notes to one manga volume acknowledge that Rei Hiroe basically went with Rule of Cool. To make this even less realistic, she does this in one scene with rifles. Mr. Chang, the head of Roanapur's branch of Sun Yee On, is even better at akimbo than Revy herself, and it's implied that he's the one who taught Revy. The other main dual-gunners of the series are the maids of the Lovelace family, Roberta and Fabiola; Roberta by dint of her FARC assassin training and being one of the biggest badasses of the entire series, and Fabiola by dint of having been trained by Roberta herself. Fabiola in particular wields two Techno Arms MAG-7s (essentially oversized shotgun pistols) during her first shootout at the Yellow Flag and uses them and a China Lake launcher to completely annihilate her opposition. |

Played somewhat realistically in Errant Story when Jon uses two weapons in a pinch, with opponents front and back. Both bullets are actually on their targets, but one is jumped over (you heard me right, opponent is later dealt with in hand-to-hand combat) and the other distracts the other opponent (he uses his neigh-unbreakable blade to deflect it) so Sarine can cut him almost in half. The success of the move amazes Jon to no end. | |

While John Woo didn't direct The Replacement Killers, he did produce the movie, and Chow Yun-Fat was still the star. At one point during the movie, Chow Yun-Fat used at least six Berettas, discarding one pair when he was out of bullets and pulling out another pair to continue kicking ass. In the first Stranglehold trailer, this part of the movie was homaged by Woo himself with Tequila. | |

Resident Evil Film Series: Alice wields almost everything akimbo. Over the course of the series, she wields semi-auto handguns, revolvers, sub-machine guns, and even sawed-off shotguns akimbo (she does have enhanced strength though). Even when forced into melee combat, she swaps over to Dual Wielding fighting batons or kukri knives! In Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Carlos wields a pair of Desert Eagles, LJ wields a pair of gold-plated Desert Eagles, and Jill Valentine uses guns akimbo briefly as well. These are all trumped however by the monstrous Nemesis, who wields a chaingun and rocket launcher akimbo. In Resident Evil: Retribution Jill Valentine fires two Skorpion machine pistols while Fast-Roping out the back of an Osprey gunship, which leaves one wondering how she manages to brake her descent. |

Rebuild World: Deconstructed. Akira has an Imagine Spot about using two assault rifles. Alpha sees this via their Telepathy and scolds Akira that he'd need the extra strength that Powered Armor provides as Required Secondary Powers or else this would break his arms. After he gets some, Akira makes this standard, using some combination of assault rifle, anti-tank rifle, Grenade Launcher, or minigun. However, at one point, due to a new set of armor Akira bought being down for reprogramming mid-battle, Akira ends up using two rifles without the strength required and it mangles his arms so bad that even his Nanomachine Healing Potion doesn't stop the pain. | |

In Equilibrium, John Preston wields dual pistols and is quite literally untouchable by mooks. In an early scene, he jumps into a crossfire and stands calmly (then again, with emotions held under check he can't quite panic or anything) in one place while the opposition fires away with automatic weaponry and fails to hit him. The film attempts to explain this by inventing a fighting style known as Gun Kata, which teaches its practitioners to seek out locations in a fight where there is minimum probability of getting shot at and it's not "behind cover"). In a later fight, Preston reloads by a mechanism that inserts fresh magazines into the guns from his sleeves. | |

There's a scene in Billy Bathgate where mobster Dutch Schultz (Dustin Hoffman) is showing off the pistol skills of his bodyguards Lulu and Irving. Dutch asks Billy which of them is the best. Billy thinks it's Irving, because he aims with a single pistol and therefore is more accurate. But Dutch points out that's mostly useful for when you can set up a hit in advance. Lulu, who blazes away with two .45's, is more useful for circumstances when you need to throw out a lot of lead quickly (e.g. when you're being attacked). | |

Used not so exactly in Gundam, where there are any number of Mobile Suits mounting multiple ranged weapons - yes, including the "normal" sized ones, not just the even more heavily armed siege types - and that's not to mention bits/funnels/DRAGOONs capable of moving independent of the host mecha. Probably one of the most iconic examples is the Freedom from Gundam SEED cleaning house with its twin plasma cannons and twin railguns. In certain cases, the difficulty of aiming may be Handwaved or Justified by advanced targeting systems and Newtype / Coordinator powers. The Wing Zero can pull this off with its twin buster rifles, which can also combine together to form one massive buster rifle. In Endless Waltz, the Heavyarms pulls it off with two sets of twin-linked gatling guns. Add also Gundam SEED C.E. 73 Stargazer: Blu Duel and Strike Noir both use a pair of "shorty" beam rifles (in other words, beam pistols). Meanwhile, Buster Verde carry two huge beam rifles that can be combine like Wing Zero's buster rifle mentioned above. Gundam 00 is fairly fond of this one. Both Gundam Dynames and Cherudim Gundam akimbo a pair of beam pistols. Gundam Arios has two double barreled beam rifles (and a pair of beam gatlings mounted in each arm). Not to be trumped, Gundam Virtue and Gundam Seravee are both capable of using two beam bazookas at once. Gundam Zabanya (which succeed Dynames and Cherudim) can not only akimbo two of its 10 Rifle Bits, but also break them down to Pistol Bits for the same purpose. In Gundam Build Fighters Try, a GM Custom attempts this with two GM Rifles during one of the tournament battles. It gets blasted by a beam rifle and falls over backwards dead. The Gundam Gusion Rebake Full City of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans takes this to the most extreme seen in the franchise. When two arms with one rifle each isn't enough, why not have four arms? |

In an episode of NCIS, Ziva uses both her primary weapon and her backup akimbo to take out goons coming in from two separate doors. Then again, she is a Mossad-trained badass. And it's extra badass, because she first calls her boss and makes him listen while she does it. She also blasts it out this way against a Russian mercenary at a convenience store in the Christmas Episode "Newborn King." McGee ends up taking up Ziva's torch in a later season, where Torres manages to distract two men long enough for McGee to climb a table and pull two guns on them to make them cooperate. |

In The Terminator shortly after delivering his famous "I'll be back." catchphrase, the cyborg then rams a car into the police station and then proceeds to massacre the officers with a shotgun and an assault rifle.

Marion from Undead not only uses this technique, but takes it Rule of Cool by at one point throwing the guns (he catches them again, so that doesn't really qualify for Throw-Away Guns) and using the nearest cop's trigger finger, and later doing it while hanging by his spurs from a doorway.

In a One Piece flashback, Genzo desperately fires two pistols at Arlong in an attempt to save Bellemere's life, but Kuroobi blocks all his shots and slashes him with a sword. Later in the manga (and chronologically since it's not a flashback) Nico uses her Dos-fleur to wield four pistols at once. In the 10th film, during their Big Damn Heroes moment, all the Straw Hats (minus Nami) bring out BFG and use them against Big Bad Shiki's forces. This is the only time we ever see Luffy and Zoro even carry guns. Not to mention how those who hardly fight with weapons, such as Sanji, actually using a weapon. |

The Saint of Killers from Preacher almost always used two Walker Colts together. After the job of The Grim Reaper was passed down to him, his new guns were forged from the old Angel of Death's sword, making them perfectly accurate. And perfectly deadly - they could kill anyone, even entities who were technically immortal. If someone was already technically dead, they could survive, but it still hurt like a son of a bitch. Garth Ennis has been quoted as saying it was a mistake to have the Saint shoot Cassidy early in the series; it was before he'd figured out what he was writing and there's really nothing and no one that can survive. It's not like those guys he kills later can be defined as biological lifeforms, and honestly, how would you explain that his guns can kill you-know-who but not a little undead vampire? |

Kill Team: Nachmund introduced Voidscarred Corsairs, who have the option of equipping one of their squad members - known as a Starstorm Duelist - with both a basic shuriken pistol and a tank-destroying fusion pistol. The Inquisitorial Agents team from Kill Team: Ashes of Faith can also field a Pistolier, who can either skulk behind cover with a Conceal order and pick enemies off with a single scoped autopistol, or "go loud" and combine that autopistol with a much harder-hitting plasma pistol. | |

In the Into the Looking Glass science-fiction series, co-written by John Ringo and Travis S. Taylor, one Marine is very capable of wielding two handguns (and in Power Armor, two cut down .50 cal rifles) at the same time. However it is explicitly stated he only fires one at a time, reloading takes more time, and the character's skill at "two-gun mojo" is considered unique and extreme even among the other highly-skilled (and more experienced) soldiers. | |

Used frequently in The Boondock Saints. Il Duce challenges all three saints with a brace of six handguns, firing them in pairs and then tossing each pair aside when empty. The Saints themselves always have a gun in each hand whenever they attack. In the first film they each had a pair of suppressed Beretta 92's, trading them in for custom Desert Eagles in the sequel. | |

Necromunda: In 1st and 2nd Edition, any model with access to the Shooting Skill chart was able to acquire the 'Gunfighter' skill when they levelled up. This skill allowed the model to fire a pair of pistols at a target. This skill was also one of the common randomly generated skills available for the Bounty Hunter and Underhive Scum hire guns. In 3rd Edition, all models equipped with a pair of pistols are able to fire them both at a single enemy fighter but suffer a to hit penalty if they do so. The 3rd Edition 'Gunfighter' skill however allows the model to ignore the to hit penalty and target multiple enemies. |

Whistler gets in on the act too when rescuing Blade, busting through a wall wielding a pair of MP5s and delivering a Pre Ass Kicking One Liner. In Blade II, aside from Blade, Scud is shown dual wielding a pair of Desert Eagles when investigating a noise outside his van, Nyssa wields a pair of machine pistols, and Reinhardt tops them both by wielding a pair of Berettas with huge blades built into them! In Blade: Trinity, both Abigail Whistler and Hannibal King occasionally dual wield revolvers, Abby's being regular guns and King's being heavily customized versions. | |

Warhammer 40,000 The Seraphim of the Adepta Sororitas are trained to wield a pair of bolt pistols using an ancient technique to fight their enemies with fluid grace. They can also upgrade their pistols to hand flamers or inferno pistols for extra power. The Exarchs of some Craftworld Eldar Aspect Shrines, such as the Dire Avengers and Warp Spiders, use their race’s advanced technology to duel-wield weapons that would be two-handed guns for other Eldar. The Tau can upgrade their Battlesuits with a support system known as a multi-tracker, allowing them to fire a pair of weapons. The Tyranid bio-weapon known as a spinefists fires great salvos of diamond hard stake-firing pistols coated in neuro-toxin and are generally wielded in pairs by the race’s warrior beasts. Cypher of the Fallen is renowned for his abilities with his bolt pistol and plasma pistol, weapons he duel-wields with greater skill than any other in the galaxy. Introduced in the game's eighth edition, Space Marine Inceptors, a heavily-armoured flying infantry unit, fight using a pair of either assault bolters or plasma exterminators, essentially one-handed versions of the Imperium's ubiquitous heavy bolters and plasma cannon respectively. Kill Team: Nachmund introduced Voidscarred Corsairs, who have the option of equipping one of their squad members - known as a Starstorm Duelist - with both a basic shuriken pistol and a tank-destroying fusion pistol. The Inquisitorial Agents team from Kill Team: Ashes of Faith can also field a Pistolier, who can either skulk behind cover with a Conceal order and pick enemies off with a single scoped autopistol, or "go loud" and combine that autopistol with a much harder-hitting plasma pistol. |

Averted in Shadowrun - dual-wielding guns is possible, but offers such penalties to hit (splitting of dice pools, penalties for offhand firing, recoil, environmental factors, etc.) that it's just not worth it. Someone with godly skill (a Gunslinger Adept or a tooled-up-to-the-max Street Samurai) might be still effective with such an arrangement, but not as much as just using one firearm at a time. However, in at least 4th edition the dual-wielding of pistols is both possible and useful, if you are using different guns to make two different shots in two different actions. It keeps recoil from stacking, which would have happened if you used the same gun twice. |

In the three Underworld (2003) films, Selene is the only Death Dealer who uses dual automatic pistols in every gunfight. All others prefer assault rifles (not akimbo). Being a vampire, she doesn't care about recoil and is a pretty good shot with both guns. In one scene, she uses the guns on full auto to "draw" a circle under her and collapse the floor. | |

Person of Interest: Root starts doing this in the third season. The fact that she has perfect accuracy while doing the multi-targeting variant is explained by the fact that she has a sentient and borderline omniscient supercomputer doing the aiming for her. She's just pointing the guns where she's told to. When Root asks for two guns from Sameen Shaw, the latter disparages this as "Kinda lame". On seeing Root use them to take down a carload of gunmen, she changes this to "Kinda hot". Lionel occasionally dual-wields, with significantly less accuracy. Works reasonably well as suppressing fire, though. |

In Tomb Raider, Lara uses her signature dual pistols (see Video Games examples below), with a couple of neat reloading gimmicks. In the Cold Open in her training room, she has spare magazines on swivels on her belt, so she can drop the empty mags and then push the guns onto the fresh ones. In the Cambodian temple, she wears a backpack with paired magazines on a rack, angled so that all she has to do is sweep her empty guns backward at the right angle, and the fresh mags slide right into place. | |

Somewhat rare, but it occurs in Survival of the Fittest. Two examples come from v1, during the same gun battle. Peri Barclay wielded two revolvers, but this proved completely ineffective as he failed to hit anyone. Jacob Starr later did the same with his gun and one that an ally dropped, but he alternated fire between the two guns and it wasn't really to hit anyone as much as it was to force Peri and his ally Steven to keep their heads down, covering the other group's retreat. Brendan Wallace wields akimbo when he's forced to try and hold off a group of terrorists sent by Danya to eliminate Liz Polanski. He doesn't fire them both at once, however, he barely even fires them at all. He runs. This happens a lot with him. |

In Tombstone, Doc Holliday confronts one of the Cowboys (Mooks who wear red bandannas) and pulls a pistol on him. The man says that Holliday is so drunk (which he clearly is) he's probably seeing double. Holliday then pulls out a second pistol with the other hand, points both of them at the guy, and says, "I have two guns... one for each of ya." He then proceeds to spin both guns in opposite directions. | |

Among clone troopers who do this on a regular basis, we have Captain Fordo from Star Wars: Clone Wars (now part of Legends after the Continuity Reboot) and Captain Rex from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Actually, The Clone Wars has a lot of clones who do this, for a few reasons: any clone officer who wears kama also carries twin blaster pistols (and that includes Rex). This also includes the ARC troopers. In fact, Fives dual-wielding two DC-15 blaster rifles during the defence of Rishi Station in "Rookies" foreshadows his later promotion to ARC trooper. | |

During the shootout that leads to his cryo-imprisonment, Sgt. John Spartan does this with a pair of customized Super Blackhawks in the novelization of Demolition Man. Also plays into his cowboy image, as the Blackhawk is a high-end revolver, where you'd expect an LAPD SWAT officer to be shooting semi-automatic. In the same scene in the film itself, he does carry a pair of Berettas, but only uses them one at a time with the second pistol being a backup when he loses the first one. However, he does briefly use a pair of pistols during the film's climax. | |

Motoko Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Normally, Motoko uses a single handgun or rifle, supported with both hands. However, in the episode "BARRAGE" in the first season, she utilizes a Seburo M-5 handgun in each hand. These are not quite as impractical to wield as they fire low recoil armor-piercing 5.7mm rounds reinforced by her cyborg body and firing software, but the fact that she was fighting an Armed Suit made the attempt almost completely ineffective. After getting her left arm blown off, she single-handedly uses an anti tank rifle to make the pilot inside regret that he ever messed with her. | |

Mordheim uses the “fire one weapon until empty then fire the other� version of this trope for models armed with multiple pistols, allowing the model to fire every turn and bypass the need to spend a turn reloading. There is however a Shooting Skill called Pistolier that allows a model to fire both weapons at the same time when armed with a brace of pistols. The downside of this ability being that the model once again has to reload his weapons in the next turn. | |

The Secret Return of Alex Mack: Sergeant Carlson is strong enough to use an M240G and an M32 at the same time. Possibly justified since he's firing on a group charging at him, and an M32 fires grenades, so precision is not essential. | |

Doing this is a very effective way to miss in GURPS. Cinematic characters can buy off the penalties while superhuman ones can buy Extra Attack. Generally Schmuck Bait even then. Almost no two handguns can beat the damage of a single rifle. Though a high enough Strength allows you to pull One-Handed Zweihänder with any gun that's not a pump or bolt-action one. A strong enough Super-Soldier could even dual wield heavy machine guns. At least as of fourth edition, everyone can buy Extra Attack. Though Buying of the penalties (6 points) is cheaper than the Extra Attack (Pistols only) (20 points) In GURPS Gun-Fu you can buy the ability use two guns at once with no penalty for a single point, and make your guns self-reloading for another. |

Kevin McDougall, a member of the Sweeper Alliance in Black Cat, wields two pistols. Although he looks like the most timid and helpless of the group (especially when he was injured by Shiki), he is actually one of the more dangerous and useful sweepers during the attack on the Big Bad's base. Using two guns, he's able to subdue multiple Elite Mooks at once. Mind that these Elite "Mooks" are actually very hard to kill, much less subdue. | |

And he's still wearing a pair of bandoliers full of bullets... Interestingly, when he appeared on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, the guns were restored. Even in the dub. |

Burn Notice: In the fourth season premiere, Michael does this with a pair of Mac-10 machine pistols to intimidate a trio of biker thugs who were terrorizing his client. Michael even points out how he has More Dakka compared to the pistol-wielding bikers. Done by the hijackers in s5e10 in the same manner of a police procedural with the villain starting the hijacking by dual-wielding submachine guns and shooting up into the air. It Makes Sense in Context though, as they are using the guns with the intention of intimidating airport staff and civilians, not winning a gunfight. Also, they quickly switch to just having one gun out after they get all the hostages sitting down, though the leader continues carrying around two. |

Feng Shui, in keeping with Hong Kong action movies, uses this trope fairly frequently. Gun-using characters can use a gun in each hand with no penalties at all, and can blast off on mooks with both guns blazing with little problem. But against named characters, the only way to increase damage when using two guns is to buy up the Both Guns Blazing gun schtick, which doubles the base damage but allows the victim to subtract twice his toughness against it. | |

Alucard in Hellsing does this with two humongous pistols, a .454 Casull and a 13mm "Jackal". He can get away with it due having immense strength and reflexes because of his vampiric nature. In another example, Seras Victoria takes this trope up to eleven against Millennium's blimp when it makes its assault on the Hellsing Manor. If one Harkonnen is overkill, what's two at the same time? The two guns being fully-automatic, belt-fed, 30 mm anti-tank cannons! |

The main character of Gungrave, Brandon Heat consistently uses two guns (crossed) once he Took a Level in Badass through training with Bear Walken. Fellow hitman Bunji Kugashira and antagonist Brad Wong do as well (the latter using decorative gold and silver revolvers), and all are insanely good shots. When Brandon is resurrected as the deadman called Beyond the Grave, he still dual-wields a pair of even bigger handguns, the Cerberus. | |

There's a metric buttload of Transformers that do this, but you could probably guess that. Rhinox from Beast Wars is probably the one best known for doing so - with DUAL GATLING GUNS. From the same series, Ravage wields dual guns... and stores them on his hips, Russian crossdraw style. So did the G1 "Triggerbot" Dogfight... but he didn't draw them crossways; he drew them straight and then pulled the triggers with his pinkie fingers. (All the "Trigger" Transformers - whose gimmick was engines that, by pressing a spring-loaded trigger, became weapons when they transformed into robot mode—also used Guns Akimbo to some degree.) Even some versions of Optimus Prime can do it, most famously the Powermaster version. Beast Wars Rampage did this on occasion, dual wielding a smaller gun with his Tri-Barreled Cannon (shrunk down slightly to match). |

In Fractured, a Mass Effect/Star Wars/Borderlands crossover and its sequel, Origins, characters are fond of this trope, usually for More Dakka as the weapons wielded tend to be machine guns. That light things on fire. In Fractured characters do this because they are just that badass. In Origins everyone dual-wielding heavy machine guns has the excuse of mass effect-based weaponry and kinetic stabalizers. | |
