[Kos-Mos]

I used to have a pistol as a secondary.

Everytime I used it, it was because my AEG was too large/empty/jammed.

But them again I only use semi except when I need to suppress.
I sold my pistols a long time ago because the difference in range is way too large. If I can sneak into pistol range (I mostly play outside), I can usually go for the knife kill anyways.

New players or "skrimish" players will be a lot more trigger happy than people who played a lot more and milsim situations. Not only because of ammo limit, but because it's a lot more effective to be silent and strike only when needed than spray around, waste ammo and let everyone one the field know where you are.

Then again I had a blast with my MG36 a few years ago, but cost me 3k BBs. I was not aiming for people, so distraction was the point there.

The main problem with Akimbo in airsoft vs. real is that the magazines are expensive, fragile and not a disposable resource. Even with a quick-draw or mag holders that you don't need to open (ala Lara Croft), you will need to have the mags in a dump pouch. Or two in this case since you don't want to handle the mags. Running with two dumps each with 2-3 pistol mags in is really painful.
