dual wielding
Both hands armed
Dual wielding is fighting with a weapon in each hand simultaneously—typically swords, pistols, or other one-handed weapons.
The term comes from video games and fantasy fiction, where characters gain advantages from this combat style: The rogue class excels at dual wielding daggers.
It extends to any situation involving two of something used together: dual wielding coffee cups on a Monday morning.
