hulahuga 29 Posted August 2, 2012 With lower accuracy it could actually be useful with the extra brunt firepower from the increased rate of fire in dangerous situations... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrJimmySlayer 30 Posted August 2, 2012 Not all that relevant but Mythbusters put this to the test. Can't shoot shit dual wielding, it wouldn't be near accurate enough to be useful, nor would it be a technique used by anyone after the novelty has worn off after the first few hours. Would be very cool though :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CerebralZombie (DayZ) 151 Posted August 2, 2012 Yeah I could see maybe the ability to hold two in your weapon slots and swap between pistols though. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZenBC 35 Posted August 2, 2012 I would support allowing to equip a pistol as a primary as well as a secondary so if you come across two pistols early in the game and have low ammo it's easy to switch between them 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrJimmySlayer 30 Posted August 2, 2012 @ Cerebral I like the sound of that, could be more useful if you need to be silent in some situations and powerful in others. Realistically holstering two pistols like a cowboy won't be too physically impossible :P@ HulahugaAhh I was talking about a different video, but there's the proof! Maybe it would be a nice feature, although I prefer Cerebral's idea from a more survival POV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hulahuga 29 Posted August 2, 2012 Well realistically you could have two holsters for pistols and a rifle with no issue on you at the same time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZenBC 35 Posted August 2, 2012 I think two active weapons at a time is more then enough. Just allow pistols to go in the primary slot as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EnermaX 59 Posted August 2, 2012 why not carry 2 pistols like 2 makrovs or even 2 pdw double low power .?Or go back to CoD again! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hulahuga 29 Posted August 2, 2012 More than enough, but is it real? :P But yeah, I wont push that one too much but still... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZenBC 35 Posted August 2, 2012 lol i don't think spawning with a holster is realistic either :-p but somehow it happens. And besides - real is sticking the gun in your pants and having a 1 in 1000 chance of shooting your sensitive parts or leg and dying immediately. lol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrJimmySlayer 30 Posted August 2, 2012 While I agree with Enerma to a point, I think the idea of two holstered secondaries could be incredibly useful for survial, as I said before, having an M9 SD and Revolver for example would allow for silent/power variation. Then again the revolver and such got nerfed, still everything is possibly temporary, why not try it out? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While we're at it, lets add being able to sling a primary weapon on each shoulder - also incredibly useful for survival... lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flying Mathias 18 Posted August 2, 2012 I imagine that you could do it if you were ambidextrous. Would probably be difficult otherwise, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GexAlmighty 54 Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) I think the secondary slot just plain needs to allow for 2 pieces of equiptment, one for each hand. so that you can either hold a torch or a second pistol. the second pistol would basically just work to make them act like a rapid fire shot gun rather than highly accurate pistols. not only is this a good balance aswell as realistic, but you also have to pay extra consideration to your secondary ammo slots Edited August 2, 2012 by GexAlmighty 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidcactus 719 Posted August 2, 2012 i would love to see the cop training hold with pistol & torch hands crossed over eachother, most of you will get my drift Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faceman Peck 93 Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) ever seen a real person dual wield pistols?yes, it is grossly innacurate, but tons of fun. I support this...even if its just a reskin for variety. I want 2 six shooters in game. Hey they have a Winchester, why not?or even 2 mp5s. Realism aside, more gun options = more fun for me as a player Edited August 2, 2012 by Faceman Peck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacy 13 Posted August 2, 2012 why not carry 2 pistols like 2 makrovs or even 2 pdw double low power .?Sounds like some really realistic army survival game. NOTYou know there are also Painkillers in May Payne? You should give this game a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pyck@hotmail.com 8 Posted August 2, 2012 Think would be nice to have the option to carry 2 none primary weapondsAs i see the vid of mythbusters they say its possible .I know they want realism so bad but pll forget its still a game and who wants extreem realism game .?

witek26 9 Posted August 2, 2012 It would just destroy close quaters pvp. People would just sit in cherno/elektro with two pdw's in hands going on rampage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrJimmySlayer 30 Posted August 2, 2012 I like the idea of the torch in one hand pistol in the other, but that would detract from the G17's purpose for example. The accuracy and recoil with pistol would have to be decreased/increased respectively in order for that to be balanced. Still a great idea. I think a similar thing could be achieved with chemlights and flares. Where you can only pick one up if the free hand secondary is not in use. That would add a little realism to that feature, as a floating chemlight in front of your body looks a little cheap if you ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
