A character using two melee weapons increases his melee weapons defense by +2. An attacker using two ranged weapons, such as two pistols, increases the number of bullets she might fire in one round for purposes of Multi-Targeting. If ammo allows, it also increases the Rapid Fire capability one step when firing both. Two automatic pistols fired together, for example, can now do Short Bursts. Two submachine guns (with the Short Burst ability) can now do Long Bursts, and two weapons with Long Bursts can do a Heavy Burst (if the hero is strong enough to hold them!) Two Heavy Burst weapons don’t gain any further bonus. Ammunition should be expended equally between the two weapons.
