Otherwise, a single rifle in infinitely superior to dual pistols. The only application I think think of for wielding dual pistols is when no larger weapons (or ammo) are available, and one needs to lay down cover fire at short range. One well-placed shot to the centre of body mass or between the eyes is going to win over a hail of bullets roughly on target (if even that), especially against enemies who are heavily armored. After all, it's not who fires the most shots, but rather who brings rounds on target the quickest. I'm no expert on special forces, but can anyone substantiate otherwise?). Close enough to qualify as close combat? Yet no police officer wields two weapons simultaneously, because it's already hard enough to win close-quarters shootouts with the accuracy bonus of a single, eye-level aimed sidearm in the hands of a well-trained police officer (I've never heard of special forces dual-wielding sidearms, either. Yes, this game has close-quarters combat, but most police shootouts occur within 7 meters. Yes, you could shoot two at once, and a decent shooter could hit a target, but really, even an expert shooter wouldn't. Even if a sidearm were truly one-hand-only operated, it's just not accurate to shoot them together. Yes, there's no need to remove the feature I just humbly suggest that two-handed firing is usually more trouble than help.
