Hell yea, until you hit one of those cover shooter arcades in which you press a pedal to take cover, or the ones in which you dont reload by shooting outside the screen and you actually needed the second hand on each gun, I worked around this by upping the ante and doing "custom" reloads, since guns generally had a reload button on what would be the magazine of the pistol I just smacked the underside of the gun on my opposite wrist.
@@sk8terzane818 don't play it, and, Did I ask? No. So don't say anything unrelated you little piece of momma's shit. Go trade Pokémon cards with your friends.
Now I want (to create) a game where every pistol you pick up gets into your hand. By the end of the game you would have a thousand pistols all around the screen. It would be funny when you pick up the third pistol and it shows up between the other two. It would be ridiculous when the 6th one shows up. But then you realize: this game has no weapon arsenal. Just more and more pistols. You don't get better weapons. You make more damage by the ability of constantly firing and firing more pistols at once.
Pretty Sure it would be actually possible to dual wield modern rocket launchers.. Well, compared to heavy pistols or even assault rifles. As far as I know, some launchers have barely any recoil.
True, but you had to pick up the weapons from an enemy that was already dual wielding them, picking up another single weapon just gave you ammo, you usually had to find another enemy already dual wielding before bond got the idea to do it himself.
+Barnes Jamie real action heroes don't need to reload... ever. they use their sheer power of awesomeness to will the ammo off the floor back into their guns
0:58 I would like to point out that Ruger was not founded until after WW2, so it would have been impossible for a cowboy in the late 1800's to carry one.
Me: “Ah, I guess this will delve into the evolution of it’s use throughout video games.” Ahoy: “With the early Flintlock pistols taking quite some time to reload...” Me: *Goes to kitchen to grab popcorn.*
You can actually hit targets reliably while weilding a pistol in each hand so long as you pace your shots. I've seen trained gunslingers in competition pull it off just fine. Just a thought. Note also that with a breaktop revolvers you could conceivably reload one handed, so long as you have precise coordination and a decent holster. (Also seen in competition.)
What Halo 2 did was pretty big for duel wielding history. It separated the two hands completely. Reloading was individual, and you were not forced to duel wield identical weapons. You could mix and match the weapons, again, each hand was individually controlled. That was completely unique. In fact many modern games since still don't have that level of game play detail.
I do remember a time when almost every third person shooter had bullet time. Dead to Rights is the first game that pops into my head when I think about it. When it comes to guns akimbo, no other game character does it quite like Beyond the Grave from Gungrave. He even pulls an El Mariachi with a coffin that turns into a gatling gun or rocket launcher.
All while watching this I couldn't help but be reminded of the ever popular sharpshooter subclass in Killing Floor that graduated into a full perk in Killing Floor 2, which sees you upgrade from the impressive feat of dual wielding Desert Eagles like in the first game to the superhuman feat of dual wielding AF2011-A1s, effectively quad wielding the M1911.

The Ruger Vaquero is a replica single action revolver. It was first produced in 1993 making it not suitable as an example of a cowboy gun. The Colt makes sense but not the Ruger.
I am glad I was not the only one to catch that. I'm just glad they knew there was something other than the SAA out there. The smith guns dominated the market for a bit due to the rolland white patent, and there were a plethora of other SA and DA revolvers out there, not to mention the fact that a fair amount of the "wild west" was just before the civil war and primarily fought with allen revolvers and other pepper boxes.

Just so you know, Halo 2 was 2 years late to getting duel wielding weapons into their FPS game. The Specialists came out in 2002 and was a multiplayer John Woo style game with almost every gun having a duel wielded counter-part.
Bungie did dual wielding first in Marathon (along with Rise of the Triad, which came out the same day, being the literal first games ever with dual wielding as we know it.) Halo 2 was like old masters just coming back years later to refine a gameplay concept they had already done. They had no need to rush to beat random PC mods since they already broke ground first back in the day. And yea, The Specialists was fun back in the day, but I really fail to see your point here...
Top notch. Thanks for the fun and the memories. I had actually forgotten about Rise of the Triad, but the title sounded familiar. You do an excellent job describing it. Downloading from Steam as we speak. I believe it's a remake of the one you described.
Great video as always, but I'm quite horribly disappointed by the lack of N64's Goldeneye 007 in the list. That 1997 console classic introduced tons of shooter-related elements we take now for granted, like instakill / more deadly headshots, and yes - dualwielding. The double Klobbs are already a internet meme of its own, and with cheats you could literally dual-wield ANYTHING in the game - including rocket launchers and shotguns! The spiritual sequel, Perfect Dark, continued this same trend.
Forgot Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix (where you could pick and mix your pistols and SMGs in any way you see fit to akimbo) and Counter Strike: Source (don't remember if 1.6 had dual beretas, but the Source one definitely had them). Blood 2: The Chosen also featured dual-wielding with shotguns, pistols, uzis and flare guns. Hitman, with his iconic ICA Silverballers? Plenty more to go :D
Also in Star Wars Bounty Hunter from 2002, throughout the whole game, Jango is dual wielding the entire time. His 2 blaster pistols are the primary weapon
I still just look at Battlefield 5 as a sign that dice wants to try to be more creative witht the battlefield franchise, they never should've bothered trying to make it a world war 2 game in the first place. When I saw the first trailer at a glance I thought it was like a weird alternate version of vietnam or something lol.

Eh. Load 'em up with birdshot or custom rocksalt shells -- hurts enough to make the jackass coming at you think twice, doesn't kick enough to ruin your shoulder one-handed.
I noticed the TimeSplitters series is missing from this list... And a shame too. Arguably, that series of games contains the greatest amount of dual-wielding than any other. Akimbo weapons including (but not limited to) revolvers, sawn-off shotguns, P90 look-alikes, silenced pistols, mauser pistols, laser pistols, luger pistols, uzis, AK47s WITH grenade launchers attached, tommy guns, M16s AND miniguns. Any game that can beat that amount of dual-wieldage, I would truly love to see.
SQUIZZLER24 As far as I love TimeSplitters, they're essentially sequels to GoldenEye and Perfect Dark, perfect sequels. Basically the same game just made modern. A mention of all of them would have been good.
There was a point where Billy the Kid was with his mates in a house surrounded by law enforcement, who brought numerous weapons (including several rifles for the men, and a Gatling gun for good measure). After a while nearing the end, Billy was the only one left. Somehow, whether by sheer luck or divine intervention (or cheat codes), he escaped by unexpectedly running out of the house firing two single action revolvers in each hand and disappeared into the woods. It's been a while since I saw a several part documentary on western front outlaws, but this is how I remember it. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
Mags should drop free with most pistols. If you have average to above average male hands, you should have enough to hold on to your pistol while drawing your fresh mag out of your magazine pouch with fingertips. Then to chamber the round, you can use the slide release or if you're using combat sights, rack the slide by catching the rear sight on your belt. As a leftie, I can confirm that the magazine release and slide release on non ambi pistols are still easy to manipulate with the left hand.
Back in the rail shooter arcade games, it was fun to spend an additional credits to wield multiple weapons at the same time. But I liked how RAW Thrills took advantage of this when they implemented "Justice Mode" in _Target: Terror_, allowing you to dual-wield guns while keeping score to one player. At least it beats crunching numbers and eating more coins than normally.
Shoutouts to Maiyamoutou. I feel like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and Time Splitters series deserve a mention too. I'd wage it's hard to talk about console fps without those genre defining games.
"and how do you reaload when both your hands are full?" your fingers are longer than the guns are wide. just eject the cartridges. grab some new ones with the tips of your fingers. put them in the guns one at a time. then SLAM the two ends toghether! and now your reloaded!
desert eagles are impractical whether you have one or two of them. Why have a heavy-ass pistol firing 7 unnecessarily large cartridges when you can have a small, lightweight gun like an M9 with much higher capacity?
No, the main purpose of the Desert Eagle is for sport shooting, and silhouette shooting. It is also predominantly meant to be a joke. There's a reason why there is no single military force on this planet that endorses it as a sidearm. If you want armor penetration, you use anti-materiel rifles, not handguns.
The Desert Eagle(Will refer to as DEagle) made by IMI(Israel Military Industry) Was designed as something to stop 'soft' targets wearing body armor and light, unarmored vehicles. The DEagle was designed as a more, I stress more, practical semi-auto, nonrevolver, high-caliber/magnum pistol. Most militaries will not use it as it is impractical of a weapon due to size and maintenance because of the gas-operated mechanism instead of recoil or blow-back mechanism of other semi-auto pistols. Along with the impratical of supplying .357, .44 or .50AE caliber as opposed to 9mm parabellum, which is the predominate pistol caliber used by police and military forces to the best of my knowledge. DEagles are incredibly powerful, there is no denying that, but unless you are able to fire one handed(no akimbo), be accurate, and manage the recoil with only one hand well enough you can pull off a second shot relatively quickly, it is more suited for stationary targets. IE, paper targets, or (theoretically) targets in cover. For penetration of bodyarmor, to the best of my knowledge, depending on the body armor rating, the 5.7mm round and magnum calibers are best. The former more so then any of the latter in my personal opinion because of its design.
It was popularised by cinema but way before 1960,cowboys in "silent" films used to dual wield then in the 30s there were pulp heroes like The Shadow who would dish out justice With twin 45 automatics blazing right on the cover of the books
And then Wolfenstein the New Order came out. Dual wield pistols? Bah! Try dual wielding twin assault rifles with under barrel rocket launchers, or semi-auto shotguns with ricochet pellets, or sniper rifles with laser rifle mods!
Phenomenal research, excellent visuals and narration here, loved seeing footage of some of those old classics, certainly really interesting information all around. Another Fantastic video.
+4Corry I'd say he is of british origin, anytime he follows a word with one that starts with an I, he sticks an "R" inbetween, he has removed this habit from his other vowels though, making his accent very indistinguisable. In this episode I think he said equilibrium or something, which he said as without the prolonged E of an American rather than with it. TL;DR: his accent sounds somewhat british, neutral, but british.
+4Corry can't deny that, but I've 90% confidence british, and the 10 that remain are on some other accent that he made into british-esque accent by spending too much time on working on sounding british, or rather, just not american.
I once saw a game with a dual-wield function, that had the option to dual-wield a weapon that’s well known for the fact that, if you don’t hold it with both hands, the recoil will break your shoulder.

The term "Akimbo" for dual-wielding weapons may have come from a John Woo film, "Guns Akimbo".

I still just look at Battlefield 5 as a sign that dice wants to try to be more creative witht the battlefield franchise, they never should've bothered trying to make it a world war 2 game in the first place. When I saw the first trailer at a glance I thought it was like a weird alternate version of vietnam or something lol.
0:52 hang on is that ian from forgotten weapons
6:23 “akimbo shotguns”
How to get extra parking space in one easy step
Step one: this
You can now park in the disabled parking spots in your area, because both of your arms are gone
Eh. Load 'em up with birdshot or custom rocksalt shells -- hurts enough to make the jackass coming at you think twice, doesn't kick enough to ruin your shoulder one-handed.

Sunset Riders was my life back in the early 90's, when I was literally just a toddler lol.
Why does every video i watch from you is about games & guns yet you make it sound so professional?
I noticed the TimeSplitters series is missing from this list... And a shame too. Arguably, that series of games contains the greatest amount of dual-wielding than any other. Akimbo weapons including (but not limited to) revolvers, sawn-off shotguns, P90 look-alikes, silenced pistols, mauser pistols, laser pistols, luger pistols, uzis, AK47s WITH grenade launchers attached, tommy guns, M16s AND miniguns. Any game that can beat that amount of dual-wieldage, I would truly love to see.
TimeSplitters has its roots in GoldenEye and Perfect Dark on the N64. Both those games had copious amounts of dual wielding.
Very true, but (obviously) they are not the same game. I think it would have at least deserved a mention.
SQUIZZLER24 As far as I love TimeSplitters, they're essentially sequels to GoldenEye and Perfect Dark, perfect sequels. Basically the same game just made modern. A mention of all of them would have been good.
Payday 2 has around 30 + different akimbo weapons now

Still love coming back to watching these old videos, love how much detail you always go into plus, dude your voice is just straight awesome xD
You: How do I reload while dual wielding?
Me: Teeth.
Feet.
You showed DMC3 footage instead of the first game? Why?
😂 not sure why but that bothered me, also.
There was a point where Billy the Kid was with his mates in a house surrounded by law enforcement, who brought numerous weapons (including several rifles for the men, and a Gatling gun for good measure). After a while nearing the end, Billy was the only one left. Somehow, whether by sheer luck or divine intervention (or cheat codes), he escaped by unexpectedly running out of the house firing two single action revolvers in each hand and disappeared into the woods.
It's been a while since I saw a several part documentary on western front outlaws, but this is how I remember it. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
The video is 13:37 minutes long, I see what you did there :)
i don't
I do
GLaDOSv3gaming explain
zarif it says 1337 = leet
Slurpy Durpy what does leet mean?
He never did answer how somebody would reload two pistols at the same time...
if you're useing a modern day pistol like a glock you can just put the mags in.
Not super easy with one hand free, how are you going to get a mag out, load it, and chamber a round with one hand?
thatgiant You also have to do it in a timely manner to prevent the enemies from simply walking up to you and shooting you in the face...
Mags should drop free with most pistols. If you have average to above average male hands, you should have enough to hold on to your pistol while drawing your fresh mag out of your magazine pouch with fingertips. Then to chamber the round, you can use the slide release or if you're using combat sights, rack the slide by catching the rear sight on your belt. As a leftie, I can confirm that the magazine release and slide release on non ambi pistols are still easy to manipulate with the left hand.
Back in the rail shooter arcade games, it was fun to spend an additional credits to wield multiple weapons at the same time. But I liked how RAW Thrills took advantage of this when they implemented "Justice Mode" in _Target: Terror_, allowing you to dual-wield guns while keeping score to one player. At least it beats crunching numbers and eating more coins than normally.
no hitman?
damn marathon needs a remake!
I'll drink to that!
Ever heard of Aleph one
Shoutouts to Maiyamoutou. I feel like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and Time Splitters series deserve a mention too. I'd wage it's hard to talk about console fps without those genre defining games.
"and how do you reaload when both your hands are full?" your fingers are longer than the guns are wide. just eject the cartridges. grab some new ones with the tips of your fingers. put them in the guns one at a time. then SLAM the two ends toghether! and now your reloaded!
Rhetorical question.
My bet would be Rise of the Triad - 1995.
Oh hell. It is! :D
Marathon came the same year too and I would say Bungie would implement better later on.
Blackbeard be like "Switching to your 2nd pistol is faster than reloading"
Killing Floor: Best dual wielding ever
How is Goldeneye 64 left out
Yeah also what about PAYDAY 2?
*Sam Squids* PayDay 2 is far from the first.
its insane to look at all these old FPSes... and see how much stuff from them has been used in doom mods
No mention of GoldenEye in 1997 or Perfect Dark in 2000? #sad
I agree that its inpractial, but yet there is no problem for human to fire two weapons at the same time, even desert eagle or SMG.
agree, with only one exception. when you shooting in to a mass of unarmed people
desert eagles are impractical whether you have one or two of them. Why have a heavy-ass pistol firing 7 unnecessarily large cartridges when you can have a small, lightweight gun like an M9 with much higher capacity?
Andrew Wang Desert eagle was not designed to be used against humans. main purpose of that weapon is to stop cars and defeat body armor.
No, the main purpose of the Desert Eagle is for sport shooting, and silhouette shooting. It is also predominantly meant to be a joke. There's a reason why there is no single military force on this planet that endorses it as a sidearm. If you want armor penetration, you use anti-materiel rifles, not handguns.
The Desert Eagle(Will refer to as DEagle) made by IMI(Israel Military Industry) Was designed as something to stop 'soft' targets wearing body armor and light, unarmored vehicles. The DEagle was designed as a more, I stress more, practical semi-auto, nonrevolver, high-caliber/magnum pistol. Most militaries will not use it as it is impractical of a weapon due to size and maintenance because of the gas-operated mechanism instead of recoil or blow-back mechanism of other semi-auto pistols. Along with the impratical of supplying .357, .44 or .50AE caliber as opposed to 9mm parabellum, which is the predominate pistol caliber used by police and military forces to the best of my knowledge.
DEagles are incredibly powerful, there is no denying that, but unless you are able to fire one handed(no akimbo), be accurate, and manage the recoil with only one hand well enough you can pull off a second shot relatively quickly, it is more suited for stationary targets. IE, paper targets, or (theoretically) targets in cover.
For penetration of bodyarmor, to the best of my knowledge, depending on the body armor rating, the 5.7mm round and magnum calibers are best. The former more so then any of the latter in my personal opinion because of its design.
It was popularised by cinema but way before 1960,cowboys in "silent" films used to dual wield then in the 30s there were pulp heroes like The Shadow who would dish out justice With twin 45 automatics blazing right on the cover of the books
And then Wolfenstein the New Order came out. Dual wield pistols? Bah! Try dual wielding twin assault rifles with under barrel rocket launchers, or semi-auto shotguns with ricochet pellets, or sniper rifles with laser rifle mods!
Akimbo Sniper was the best :D
Shane Ishler N64 goldeneye beat them to it, could dual wield anything
I was expecting something about double action boogaloo. :P
Thank-you for using an Alan Partridge quote to describe Chow Yun Fat. It's 'made my day' 😂😂😂
HOLY SHOT IS THAT CAPTAIN PRICE TALKING???
golden eye n64 staple guns?
kinda of a big game
Amazing to see how far ahoy has come in 5 years.
Rise of the triads?
thank you, cmon now. its totally ROT
+Charles Ku Wasn't Blood ?
+El Sombrerero nope... Not even close...
This was uploaded 3 years ago?
holy shit you're right
Phenomenal research, excellent visuals and narration here, loved seeing footage of some of those old classics, certainly really interesting information all around. Another Fantastic video.
What accent does xboxahoy have?
+4Corry I'd say he is of british origin, anytime he follows a word with one that starts with an I, he sticks an "R" inbetween, he has removed this habit from his other vowels though, making his accent very indistinguisable. In this episode I think he said equilibrium or something, which he said as without the prolonged E of an American rather than with it.
TL;DR: his accent sounds somewhat british, neutral, but british.
Brimroth It is confusing.
+4Corry can't deny that, but I've 90% confidence british, and the 10 that remain are on some other accent that he made into british-esque accent by spending too much time on working on sounding british, or rather, just not american.
+Brimroth The narrator of this video is British, I's say from the South East of England at a guess.
RB BM Probably.
This guy does the voice for gaz in cod 4
Gavin Hopkins rip gaz :(
Rip by a wild desert eagle
He doesn't, lol. He had done some videos for Activision but that's basically it for his voicework for them.
I once saw a game with a dual-wield function, that had the option to dual-wield a weapon that’s well known for the fact that, if you don’t hold it with both hands, the recoil will break your shoulder.
This video is leet long.
Aww, you missed the great game called Time Splitter
TimeSplitters*
Exactly that game was the best
Future Perfect.
+EricPaz goldeneye and perfect dark(TS spiritual predecessor can do that too)
sunset riders is the shit....
k
no, I appreciate great snes based sidescroller shooters....why, you cruising?
lostinYourReality let me ask you a question Andy....do you always go around asking people questions like that at random? like, with all your dance videos and hair stuff and kpop stuff, I wonder why you decided to call me a faggot for saying I like a videogame....I know this is late but I was checking notifications and saw this again...I know my initial response was sharp and a bit aggressive, but now I've thought about it and would like to know , why the random hate? do you dislike vintage video games , or video games altogether? I honestly wish I could freestyle and do windmills and stuff but if I didn't like that stuff I wouldn't call you a hateful slur just because you like to...
13:37 time on the vid
Coincidence? I think not.
DerpNoodles hey dude, what's special about that number/year?
jdgonzo1982 1337 is basically internet language,Leet they call it.
You know how you sometimes see people write their nicknames like L33T, 0WN3D, R3KT. It's basically replacing letters with numbers, They call it "Internet speak"
ahhh...ofcourse, thanks bud. i'm aware of the ol' internet talk stuff, thought they called leek talk or something like that. anyway, cheers for being cool man, peace out :)
