I think his stand on ambidexterity in SR is valid. Given the fact
that a combat round lasts in the neighborhood of 3 seconds, which can
mean 4 or even 5 action phases if the character is decked out the
right way, each of them allowing for two three-round bursts from many
of the firearms available, my view on weilding two pistols (or
whatever) is that it takes longer before you have to reload. To
allow double actions would be, IMO, ludicrous.
