[Akimbo change] Add a single shot to Akimbos

[SpritePony]

So, one thing that many players and I have noticed is that Akimbos have an ammo efficiency issue because of how they fire. Rather than shooting one at a time in a single fire manner, one tap fires both pistols in a burst fire manner.
However, I think that giving Akimbos the ability to swap between single fire and burst fire (shooting one pistol at a time or shooting them as they work now) would make them MUCH better weapons.
While this idea wouldn't apply much to lower damage pistols, the ability to shoot just one pistol at a time would be a MASSIVE buff to guns like the 80 damage dualies, the Deagles, and the Castigos.
This would not affect the SMGs as they already have the Single Fire/Auto Fire mods, and would only complicate them further.
Thoughts?

Side note: I know there is a mod for Akimbos that allow you to "single fire" them, but the animation remaining the same screws with my brain and doesn't feel right at all.

People have complained since the release of akimbo how bad it works, i swear to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ god overkill always seem to forget even thought it's mentioned in half of their streams

Yes please. I never understood why they never applied this, a lot of people have said that it's even in the game's codes yet they never implement it

Install WolfHud or Akimbo pistols alter-fire , your problem will be fixed immediately.

They don't fix the animation, which is irritates me. I see two pistols go off, but only one shot taken, so no.

It should be implemented. All that it would take is an adjustment to coding, using half of the current firing animation, and it's done. At least, that's how it SEEMS like it would work. Though they'd probably also need to add in a "Custom" tab to the pistols like with the ARs to have the pistol bound to single fire, burst fire, or toggle. (Default key: V, just like with the ARs.)
I SERIOUSLY hope the Overkill can make this happen. It'll bring Akimbo Pistols' viability WAAAAY up from being able to control when you burst, and saving SO MUCH ammunition. Right now, with bigger pistols, you miss about 35% (and I'm being generous here) of your shots using heavier pistols on DW and below.

I think Overkill simply isn't able to, because they would have to separate the firing animations for each hand.

Like many other features, they were simply too lazy.

Well, if we can get new animations for various weapons for first person tacti-cool and non-tacti-cool, as well as third person, then they could do this. Even if it took some time.
I wouldn't even mind them splitting the current one into two separate ones until a "proper" one is made. Tripwire got it right with Killing Floor and Killing Floor 2.

Always for some reasons during AMA QnA Stream, NO ONE ask them this question. Waste time on questions like which is fav character. Seriously?

Maybe on the next AMA I'll pop in and ask it.

When? We need single fire mode on all akimbo pistols, especially on high-damage.
