This is true, but wouldn't it be possible to make custom animations and have a single item which equips a soldier with two pistols? What I mean is that the weapon model would include two pistols, and the custom animations would make it look as if the soldier holds two.
Theoretically, I could modify the soldier's visual appearance when he has the dual pistols equipped and then have two recoil animations (one for the left, and one for the right). However, there's no control over the soldier appearance when he has a weapon other than his dual pistol equipped - so he might have his rocket launcher equipped while still appearing to have his pistols still in his hands. Furthermore, there can only be one place for the muzzle flash and bullet exit point, so you can only have one pistol ever appear to fire. These are the main flaws. Trust me, I've thought about this problem good and long, and there's nothing I can do to amend these two problems.
