It would just destroy close quaters pvp. People would just sit in cherno/elektro with two pdw's in hands going on rampage.

close quarters pvp? does that thing even exist? i though pvp in this game only limited to sniping with as50.

but jokes aside. yes dual wielding pistol is possible, and its not about accuracy. its about spraying bullets. such technique can be treated as budget version of smg

Dual wielding pistols should mean you can't shoot the side of a building your standing in front of. If you really want this go back to COD and try and enjoy that. Just allow primary weapon to be a secondary as well. And introduce more pistols with tac lights - god knows those things give off so much light that you're a beacon to anyone around anyway that it feels dangerous just using one.

Well Zen, don't know if you checked the vid or not, but you can actually hit with it so...

[ZenBC 35]

Yes. I've seen the episode. From memory, the mythbusters weren't

a ) in a post apocalyptic environment

b ) under duress (important part here)

There's a reason militaries world wide don't usually give their guys dual pistols for use in CQB if they run out of ammo of their primary. Seriously. I feel like seeing someone walking around dual wielding would be like seeing a death metal fan at a Justin Bieber concert - ie it just doesn't fit with the setting of the game. Play COD please to get your dual wielding jollies.

I am not for for against the idea of wielding two pistols at one time, but I must ask this. Why are some of you saying it is unrealistic to shoot two pistols at one time when you can stuff a couple .50 cal snipers into a backpack strapped onto your back and start running?

I think you should be able to dual wield akms.

Also shields should be implemented in the game. And maces.

CALM DOWN RAMBO 1 is enough.

so running around with heavy AMR`s and MG with huge recoil is ok with everyone, but dual wielding a pistol makes you rambo.

dayz community is so fucking logical lol.

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? :)

why would you want a silent and a loud gun? that entirely defeats the purpose of having the silenced weapon.

I wonder how many of you know that you can transform the ammo you find for the revolver and the 1911 into ammo for the respective other pistol; you just rightclick on ammo in the slots and chose the option to change it to the other type.

Ever since I found that out, I never ran out of ammo for the pistol. If I had two of them, idk what is the point. You still have to reload, you still run out of ammo in your inventory, except at twice the rate. Even with my ammo transformations, I suppose I'd run out.

Unless I am panicking, the pistol is for headshots only, means I don't run around John Wooing my golden colts. If I am panicking, I am usually happy I didn't fire even more pointless rounds.

dual lmg rambo style

[weld 26]

You have to make tough decisions in this game. Being able to avoid those choices (like picking up both pistols, whether they are both equipped at the same time or not) is inauthentic to that core concept. If it must be done it won't be easy (like keeping one in the backpack).

Two pistols equipped at once? I've tried firing two pistols at once and it simply isn't realistic to expect any sort of accuracy unless you really take your time, which absolutely negates any other perceived benefit.

the only people who think dual wielding pistols is a good idea are black people

[slonlo 43]

I just wish there was a way to swap to the gun in your pack without dropping one (assuming your pack is near full). But I know it can't be TOO easy. I wouldn't mind dropping it either if I could be certain it wouldn't be eaten by the ground.

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

you mention the word fun twice in that statment, did you realize that?
