History of the old Quake 3 mod where had Akimbo feature
Quake 3 had a mod called "Akimbo" developed by Cyril Gantin where you can switch every weapon of each hand and shoot from any of them.
More than just getting twice the firepower from all the weapons, each hand is truly independent. This really opens up things for the gameplay aspect of the modification.
The Q3 mod team is Wise in Death, the mod was released in 22/11/2000.
UT99 had Akimbo as mutator.
This is the legendary mutator feature that everyone wanted to touch this kind of power.
This is like a "semi-instagib", more or less shooting 2 or 5 times attacking against your opponents.

That isn't completed though.
TODO:
- Make
g_max_weaponslotscvar change only when server restarts. Also, apply a conditional, if it's less than 2, set to 2. - Add an option to make each hand change the weapon individually if the player wants.
