dual-wielding
Both hands armed
Dual-wielding is fighting with a weapon in each hand simultaneously—typically swords, pistols, or other one-handed arms.
The term comes from video games and fantasy fiction, where characters gain speed or damage by sacrificing a shield: The rogue was dual-wielding daggers.
Extended to any paired use: dual-wielding coffee cups on the way to work.
