Here's some news from JE Sawyer on a thread about akimbo guns...First he writes:
<blockquote>Mini-/micro-uzis and Ingram Mac-10s are all small enough to be used one-handed "cinematically", IMO.</blockquote>
Then, in reply to King of Crooks:
<blockquote>What do you mean, Joshie? "Cinematically" as in "only in movies"? (which would also include PC games on some level, since neither of the two represent actual real life situations) </blockquote>
<blockquote>Yes, pretty much. In the same way that a person can carry a minigun with ammo around on a battlefield and take lots of flesh wounds without dying, it's possible for someone to use two handguns or two micro-uzis/mac 10s at once -- only in the movies.</blockquote>
Only in the movies...Of course, we all remember how it's possible to carry a minigun and take lots of fleshwounds in Fallout 1/2 as well...
Hello akimbo micro-uzis/mac 10s, welcome to the Fallout world!
Oh, happy day

Taken from the "World Encyclopedia of Modern Firearms and Ammunition":

"In the year 1987 the movie "Predator" (starring A. Schwarznegger) hit the screens. One of the most impressive scenes was the one where the US Commandos, led by "Dutch" (Schwarznegger), attempted to fight back the alien Predator. One of Commandos was armed with the distinctive weapon, a 6-barreled rotary Minigun, fed from backpack ammo box. This gave the impression that the Miniguns can be used for infantry support. It must be noted, that in this movie a special, blank firing version of the Minigun was sued. The electric motor was powered via cable, hidden in the actor's pants, and the actor had to carry bulletproof vest and protective mask to avoid injuries from the fast and violently ejecting empty cases. Had this gun being fired using real ammunition, the actor would ended lying on his back, being forced off the legs by the violent recoil. The "backpack" ammo capacity, also, could be worth only several seconds of fire. lets calculate: 2 000 rounds of 5.56mm ammo will weight about 25 kg (55 lbs); 2 000 rounds of 7.62mm will weight about 2 times more, making such load almost impossible to carry on foots. yet this load of ammo will worth only 20 or so seconds of fire. Add some powerful batteries to power electrical drive of about 4KWt (4+ horse-power), and the bulk of the gun itself, and you'll see that even the strongest man won't be able to carry this load, less to fire it with any chance to hit, due to extremely powerful recoil."

Okay, Jesse "The Body" Ventura is a strong guy but I highly doubt he can carry an armament meant to be mounted on helicopters.

And yes, akimbo submachineguns is only possible in the movies. You know why? The guns are freakin blanks. There isn't recoil. Remember that scene in the Matrix where Keanu Reeves is just jumping and rolling around with dual MP-5K's? 9mm Para ammunition is considered a "light" round but 30 rounds passing through a barrel nonstop, each round with the energy of 500+ joules, can still achieve jittering recoil. But no, Neo can do cartwheels and backflips while blasting security guards dead-on with his recoilless submachinegun.

Mac-10's use .45ACP. And it fires at 1100 rpm. Sure, you can dual wield them. *If* you can keep your hands on them.
