Ok, so yes, dual wielding is stupid if you are trying to aim and fire with two weapons. You will simply be faster and FAR more accurate with one that cycles quickly (esp steel 1911 in 9mm or 38sp). 9MM has a long flat trajectory. Even the old guys who carried two guns was simply so that they didn’t have to deal with slow reloading. Although there are and were trick shot guys who shoot one at a time, it is in fact faster to shoot one pistol at a time.

But if you use one as a shield/reloading and the other offensively, that’s different altogether.

If you train to not use sights but point shoot or hip shoot that’s even better. It takes more work. But I mean, if we are talking advanced skills then … that’s what more work means.

Are you better off with two men with SMG’s? Yes. But they are far harder to hide, and from the evidence, it’s far harder to train idiots to use without killing you by accident.

BTW: the Barretta 92 is a sh-t gun. It’s just durable enough to survive generations of 19 year old morons. There are only three guns I care about 1911, Browning, CZ75, and below that I’m just gonna stick with my Walther for “Date Nights”.

The HK417A2 combines the skeletal features of the M4 with the (thank god) G36(AR18) piston system and 7.62/.308 ammunition – and with full size barrel will reach out to the long distances we have seen in mountain/desert/steppe regions compared to the jungles of the M16 era. The G2 removes select fire (leaving it only semi-auto), and adds steel (upper receiver) instead of aluminum.

My undrestanding is that the military (finally) is seeking an even better munition between 6.5 and 7mm, as well as .300 whisper for suppressor fire.

So the debate over the ‘light’ .556 ammunition is finally over. We are continuing to engage at longer ranges.

I assume that westerners will increasingly seek to ‘own the night’.

My suspicion is that we will develop disposable (explosive) close quarters robots and gear carriers as soon as battery manufacturing reaches the next energy density multiple.

Until the robot itself is the explosive weapon then I think we are not cost effective. Electronics prices are there. The energy prices are not.
