Beware the man with eight weapons. He probably knows how to use them all.

I say the Ares Predator IV as well, for reasons already stated previously in the thread. Now if you wanna go for that niche use of dual wielding heavy pistols, go for broke with that Ruger Super Warhawk. It may not have the ammo capacity, but if you're good enough to be dual wielding, putting two rounds from each hand from a Ruger into your target will probably make them fall down hard.  ;D 8)

Except that the Ruger is single shot.  But that makes it good for dual wielding, if you are ambidextrous, since firing that single shot is still a simple action.  One shot from each pistol, with full dice pool and smartlink bonuses, and the advantages of no recoil, and the superior damage and AP of the Warhawk.  Dual-wielding two semi-automatic or burst-fire weapons is more of a niche role, suited for mowing down slow-moving mooks but not very useful against decent opposition.

Oh yeah...forgot it was single shot, but that doesn't stop modding for SA, though how that would work with a revolver, I have no idea.

On the dice pool portion, you would have smaller pool still due to having to split the dice between each gun (and smartlink doesn't matter since it can't be applied when dual wielding).

You split the dice pool (and can't use a smartlink) when you are firing two guns simultaneously (typically getting two attacks with one simple action).  I am talking about a simple action to fire the gun in one hand, and a simple action to fire the gun in the other hand.  The same as shooting a semi-automatic pistol using one hand, only with no recoil penalty for the second shot, and a more powerful weapon.

Oh? I thought it was split dice pool when dual wielding period no matter how you went about it. Oh well, I make mistakes just like everybody else.

Having access to Ares Technology isn't so bad, being in a room that's connected to the 'trix with holographic display throughout the whole room isn't bad either. Food, drinks whenever you want it. Over all not bad, but being unable to leave and with a Female Dragon? No Thanks! ~The Captive Man

The Mateba wasn't available in .600, but it was in .454 Casull, which is already pretty damn powerful.
