Don't confuse the FoF ambidexterity rules with the core off-hand penalty. Just because
you are ambidextrous doesn't mean you can wield 2 weapons simultaneously very well.

In SR2 (not sure about SR3 - don't have a book handy), there is a +2 TN modifier for doing
anything with your off hand. It had nothing to do with whether you were wielding 1 weapon
or 2. There are additional modifiers for using 2 weapons at once, but that's its own
issue. Ambidexterity is good for those times where you are forced to use your off hand,
because it negates the +2 TN penalty (it does this in different ways, depending upon which
rules you use).
