akimbo

To hold and fire two guns, one in each hand. Most often seen with handguns, or compact sub-machine guns.

This is not only the correct term, but also the original, and oldest term for this.

However, Dual-Fisting is the term (created by the Halo community) that
is the most popular and widely accepted.

The best example is Counter-Strike's dual elites.

Akimbo

To dual-wield(gun in each hand) firearms. Most common with handguns and Submachine guns but not limited to.
P.S. Dual-wield is more proper than dual-fist. Dual-fist has its own fucked-up description.

1.In the opening tea-house shootout, Insp. Tequila fires two TT-33 handguns akimbo in Hardboiled
2. Neo fires two MP5Ks akimbo in the bank shoot-out in The Matrix

Akimbo

Using two of something, rather than one; most commonly used in weapons. Dual wielding is using two weapons, one in each hand, during combat. It is not a common combat practice. Although historical records of dual wielding in war are limited, there are numerous weapon-based martial arts that involve the use of a pair of weapons.

The warrior was using Akimbo Swords. (Using two swords; one in each hand.)

akimbo

to hold 2 pistols, one in each hand. A common image is arms extended, face focused and scrunched, blazing off wildly, NOT shooting both pistols at the same time but alternating each time. Also the shooter can wear a trench coat that's flailing in the wind. Sunglasses are okay too.

His akimbo pistols rained a trail of bullets.
