Using two one-handed wepons

In File: UFOAI-2.0-RC5\src\docs\weapons.txt can be read:
"A soldier may use two pistols at the same time, gaining twice the firepower at a small accuracy cost, but using the same amount of TUs as when firing a single gun."

Cool option :D .
But how to do it? :?:

sirg:
Although this option isn't very useful in real combat, it's cool. I hope to be implemented, but throwing two knifes at once would be silly.

I disagree. Example: two tachyon pistols, when you don’t have tachyon rifle, give better firepower then plasma or laser :). In addition basic shot of tachyon pistol cost only 8 TUs. So it can be very useful.
So I repeat my question: HOW TO DO IT? or maybe it’s not implemented yet :(.

sirg:
In real life it's quite difficult to aim and shoot with two pistols at once. It's more a Hollywood stunt than a real practice. Sure, it's cool, that's why I would like to see it in the game, but even if you fire two guns at once, your aim will be quite poor and thus it's better to aim better and shoot with one pistol rather than fire two pistols in a rage, like you see in movies.

HaJo:
At short range (2-3 squares), accuracy does not matter that much,
and most shots will hit even if the aim is quite a bit off.

And that is the range where pistols etc. are most useful for scouts,
snipers, rpg-guys when an alien suddenly pops up nearby.

Low TU-usage is most important here, and two-handed shooting would be even nicer.
