The Myth of Dual Handguns

Good video with some good info. The Mythbusters did an episode on this same thing and came to pretty much the same conclusion.

You don't carry two handguns to shoot them both at the same time, you carry two handguns because drawing the 2nd one is faster than reloading the first. Also the 2nd gun should work if the first one jams or breaks.
