Combine pistols - dual wield

[Ozelot (DayZ) 394]

This should be added to allow for a higher magazine capacity with the trade off of lowered accuracy and not being able to aim down the sight.

 

Make it happen.

Good idea. For much later.

[WarAndRuin 19]

In matter of fact there is nothing wrong with this.

 

If you are level headed enough to stop and think about this, why should it not be in the game, in real life you would be more than wanting to duel wield in situation of spray and pray or when you run into a horde of the infected.

[OfficerRaymond 2064]

Try shooting two pistols at once in real life. You aren't going to hit anything unless you aim with one of them which defeats the point. I know. I've tried. The most you accomplish is looking like a Hollywood action star wannabe.

 

Or you're 10 yards away, which is impractical for anyone that is intelligent.

Like they would be used on zombies...

 

The fact you say inb4 cod whining suggests you know it is better suited to that game. So keep it that way.

Yeah, but maybe that's what you want? Ain't nothing like executing a handcuffed player with dual wield :P (well, for me there is better, but some...)

[Diggydug (DayZ) 331]

I don't see what good this would do. If you're not aiming them you're not going to hit anything unless they make it like CoD and other games with dual wielding, but if you are taking the time to aim it's pointless, as said above.

 

You play DayZ and think, "You know what this needs? Dual wielding!"?

[OfficerRaymond 2064]

I'd rather not execute them in the first place, and if I were to... I'd blow their head off with a shotgun filled with 00 buckshot for maximum splatter.

[Virdrus 16]

I like the idea. but it should also take longer time to reload. :)

The point isnt to try and aim well. It's to rapidly fire a hail of bullets in the hope you hit something.

As I said, it's not for me. but if some players want to put themselves at disadvantage... I don't mind :D

You can do that without dual wielding. 

 

 

They could add extended magazines if you're into that, I suppose, but I still don't see the logic. Why wouldn't you want to try and hit your target with accuracy?

Because the rate of fire is more important than accuracy in all sorts of situations-- Hell, I'd say most of them.

That's where I simply disagree. If you want RoF then grab the M4.

M4? An M4 is an assault rifle. It has a high degree of accuracy with a moderate rate of fire.

 

There's a lot of weapons that outclass it on rate of fire.

[ParaB 114]

Dual-wielding pistols is IMO idiotic. I hope no resources are wasted on such a feature. What's next? Gangsta-stile pistol handling?

[law1977 17]

Yeah all good points but you got to admit you would look seriously cool with two pistols, okay u might die due to not be able hit straight but u will die with smile on your face ;)

Pistols don't though.

 

I don't see your reasoning here.

 

You said you want to dual wield for RoF and hope a bullet hits. I recommend the M4 which has an automatic firing mode, which is undoubtedly a higher RoF than two pistols, and you still want to dual wield instead? What?

What if all I have is a pair of pistols? Since when does everyone have an M4 in their pocket?

 

Another thing that doesn't make sense is the m4's size. It's so long yet you can swing it around indoors like it's a little flashlight in your hands. Very unrealistic.

Bad idea. Won't happen due to the insane resources necessary for a useless feature, such as creating huge amounts of new animations. Might not be possible in the engne either.

glock 18 shoots like 1000+ rounds per minute, problem solved

Sticking to the topic at hand...if you have two pistols then you have two pistols. Cool. Drop one.

 

 

If I have two rifles I don't make a suggestion to let me dual wield those like Rambo. I just don't pick up two rifles because I don't need two, I need one. Similarly it could be said, "Well I have 3 shirts, why can't I wear them all???"

[Shadyfizzle 80]

Lol you should be able to layer shirts and pants as padding/to keep warm!

Why would someone hold two rifles in their hands? They'd look stupid.

 

Holding two pistols makes you look swag.
