Navy SEAL Tries Dual Wielding Pistols
A Navy SEAL tests dual wielding pistols at 10 and 20 yards, concluding it is not practical for real-life combat. The main concerns raised are the inability to clear malfunctions and reduced accuracy. Despite the impracticality, the SEAL acknowledges it looks cool and is fun to do.
Summary
In this short video, a Navy SEAL evaluates the concept of dual wielding pistols — holding and firing one gun in each hand simultaneously. He immediately questions the realism of the technique, citing practical combat concerns such as the inability to clear a malfunction with both hands occupied, and the compounding problem of handling two malfunctions at once, joking that the only solution would be to throw one gun on the ground.
He then proceeds to test dual wielding by shooting at large targets, first at 10 yards and then at 20 yards, firing as fast as he can at the two outside targets with one gun in each hand. The exercise serves as a live demonstration of the technique's limitations, particularly around accuracy.
Despite acknowledging the impracticality for real-world use, the SEAL admits that dual wielding is fun to do on a range and concedes that it does look cool — especially when no malfunctions occur. The overall conclusion is that while dual wielding makes for an entertaining demonstration, it has no serious place in real combat scenarios.
Key Insights
- The SEAL argues that dual wielding is not realistic in combat primarily because clearing a malfunction becomes nearly impossible when both hands are holding a firearm.
- The SEAL points out that if both guns malfunction simultaneously, the only viable option would be to throw one gun on the ground, highlighting the absurdity of the technique in a real scenario.
- The SEAL questions how one could shoot accurately while dual wielding, framing accuracy as a core practical problem with the technique.
- The SEAL conducts a live-fire test shooting at large targets at 10 yards and then at 20 yards to empirically demonstrate the challenges of dual wielding.
- Despite concluding it is impractical for real life, the SEAL acknowledges that dual wielding is fun on the range and looks cool when no malfunctions occur.

[0:00] Dual wielding. One gun in each hand. Is this realistic? [music] Probably not. If I have a malfunction, how the am I going to clear it? What happens if I have two malfunctions? I guess I just throw one gun on the ground. How the are you going to shoot accurately? Let's figure it out. So, I'm going to shoot as [music] fast as I can these big targets which are 10 yards away. And I'll do one with my right hand, one with my left hand. >> [music] [0:35] >> 20 yards. All right, I'm going to go the two outside targets again. It's pretty fun to do, [music] but not in real life. It does look pretty…
