I agree completely. It is, however, not much use to have two large weapons (such as two medieval broadswords) because of the enormous weight (only a powerlifter could swing them with any accuracy). For this reason, many MUDs use a ONE_HANDED flag for weapons that can be used as a primary in conjuction with a secondary holdable weapon. Basically, in my opinion, it's more realistic to make daggers and small pistols holdable and short swords and maces one handed then to have someone holding a crossbow and wielding a battle axe at the same time :-). Sortof a comical picture unless one is an ogre or something don't you think?
