Shooting two guns at the same time does in fact look cool. That’s not a myth. Hitting two targets with two guns at the same time is really hard though.

If you’re trying to lay down suppressing fire, it’ll work, though.

Maybe but I suspect you can’t even control direction well enough to do that.

Supressing fire is all about distraction and area denial. You can defintely fire two handguns accurately enough to do that. You might not get all yours shots in the 10 ring but you could deny access from one direction of a street for example.

I wonder if someone practiced exotropia and multi-focal tracking (or rapid mono-focal switching) if then dual vector shooting could technically be learned.

Regardless if anyone attempts this, please post a video of your face while you do it. For science.

This one seems the least believable to me, but I admit I have almost no experience shooting guns. Maybe you won’t be super accurate, but it would work if you were going for suppressing fire against multiple bad guys while trying to get to cover or something.

Also it would definitely work if you’re The One fighting in a simulated reality.

In the same scene, Neo dodges bullets after they’ve left the barrel. He is not subject to human rules.

Also, in most media I’ve seen, people with two guns still primarily shoot at single targets

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
