The child of [[Guns Akimbo]] and [[Dual-Wielding]] - a character simultaneously wielding a gun in one hand and a sword in another, or another combination of projectile and melee weapon. This would generally be impractical, as you might want that other hand free to help you steady or something, but it is much, much easier to [[Firing One-Handed|handle a weapon with one hand in fiction]]. Thank the [[Rule of Cool]] for that one.
Line 20 ⟶ 21:
Not to be confused with the show ''[[Gun X Sword]]'', [[Final Fantasy VIII|gunblades]], or [[The Musketeer]] (a person ''proficient'' in both sword and gun, but who doesn't generally dual-wield them).

== Anime and Manga ==
* As Teana Lanster of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' dual-wields a pair of [[Empathic Weapon|Devices]] that can [[Swiss Army Weapon|switch from]] [[Guns Akimbo|guns]] to [[Dual-Wielding|daggers]] and back, this trope was inevitable. She employs this during her final confrontation with the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Numbers]] [[Hollywood Cyborg|cyborgs]].
Line 49 ⟶ 50:
== Fan
* The second ''[[Spirits
* The ''[[Firefly]]'' fanfic ''[[Forward]]'' has both River and {{spoiler|Book}} fighting in this style.
