    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.

        Years ago when I did my armed securities training, we went to a hillbilly ass shooting range, that was basically just some dudes big ass back yard. Did the double gun thing. Turns out, almost everyone unconsciously aims with their dominant hand and tracks that with their non dominant. Meaning you’re basically shooting st the same target with both guns even when you think you’re trying to go for both targets.

        Some people, however, will just randomly shoot with their non dominant hand, and it’s incredibly dangerous how wide those shots go. Like, damn near beside or behind them. Humans, it turns out, are fucking dumb

          I can’t imagine double aiming like that, maybe slowed down a lot. i could see training alternating fire on a single target being possible with practice.

            It was very fun, but also terrifying. People could have been legitimately hurt that day with as wide as some of those shots went.
