Dual wielding: seemed like a good idea at the time

Gun Kata. Or.. possible two sticks of fairy floss.

How cool is dual wielding? We're talking twin 6 guns in the wild wild west- two hand guns in any John Woo movie you can think of (including Appleseed!), and of course my all time fav, Sweet Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider games packing a pair of pistols will just does it for me every time. It's sort of the ultimate in any form of roleplaying (try it- hand a pair of toy pistols to any male and watch him go..) but while in movies this is always sooo cool.. in the world of Nerf this is not so easy. Nerf blasters require your other hand to cock the primer, so unless you've got them on a shoulder strap (in which case it's not REALLY dual wielding but using one after the other) or you're tying your trackie daks drawstring through your pair of Mavericks, you'd traditionally be out of luck. Till.. now:)

What I really would like, is to dual wield hand guns, but if I was to dual wield two Nitefinders, it's going to be over really fast. ("wait mr zombie.. please wait.. i'm not ready yet.. just gotta load up another couple..ok ready") The introduction of automatic Nerf blasters means we're able to load up on paired goodness..

"It's fun to stay at the.. Y..M..C.. no wait..what letter am I doing again?"

Soo, if you've got yourself a pair of automatic blasters, then dual wielding isn't going to be a problem. Automatic blasters aren't a completely new concept- the air pressure models have been around for quite some time and still fire at a much faster rate than their battery powered younger brothers. The DX-1000 Powerclip was, and still is an awesome piece of work, and the similar Magstrike AS-10 is just as lethal. The only problem with the fact that the rounds that fire very quickly is if you've got a heavy trigger finger(s), you'll probably be out of ammo in less than 5 seconds. Oops.

"AUUURGHHHHHH YOU WANT SOME OF THIS?" (and.. dead)

Now we're talking. Got the latest and greatest? Dual wielding Stampede ECS's. All that power. With.. none of the accuracy:) Too big to wield like pistols. you've pretty much got to brace them by jamming the stocks into your sides. It'll rain foam like the thunder..if you manage to hit anyone:) And.. you're also going to be temporarily kind of vulnerable when your rounds have run out and you need to change clips.

New. And loud. My Ed Hardy combo:P

Something easier to wield as a pair is the Barricade RV-10 and the Barrel Break IX-2. Ok.. so the Barrel Break can only shoot two rounds and is kinda not the best choice for dual wielding.. but that's because it is so tough it'll take you out with it's sheer coolness (and i'm using camo darts in it. BAM! you're outa here). If you're dual wielding it's pretty rare you'd be going for the stealth shots, so who cares that the neighbours can hear you coming with the Barricade.. from the next suburb..

Fark. Forearm's like Popeye when this is done.

But come on, man up nancy boy! If you want to be a REAL man, you'd go with dual wielding Vulcans. In this scenario, I would strongly advise against the use of AA batteries in D cell adaptors because they reduce weight significantly. And ditch the shoulder straps. And.. err.. good luck with running:P

I'm still yet to find the ultimate Nerf dual wielding combo.I read somewhere about something to do with "maverick big boys self cock" but I dunno if that was relevant:P
