Okay, after reading Guns Akimbo, the current pic doesn't completely fit, or at least doesn't get the trope completely across. Guns Akimbo is more about simultaneously shooting your guns, either at the same target or different targets; the current is really just Dual Wielding. With that in mind, I've got some suggestions:

The third point is using one gun until it runs out, then using the other. And how can you dual wield guns without following at least one point of the trope?

Worth noting that Dual Wielding refers to Guns Akimbo as the firearm variant.

^^^ Equilibrium 1 > Equilibrium 2. The Space Marine gives a 404 error. Don't know if it makes a difference, but the Imperial Guard's weapons are hooked up together. I think it would make for a stronger illustration if the pistols/guns were clearly physically seperate.

How about Selene from Underworld(Edit: Changed the link)

Of the other suggestions, I like the first Equilibrium one

If there's a 404, first thing check if the url is very long. If it is, it likely contains a "- ", inserted by the wiki parser. Just remove it and see if it works.

[up][up] That's pretty good, too. Here's the same Space Marine pic, just as a demotivator.

Equilibrium 1 gets my vote, though the Underworld one looks good too.

[up] That seems vertically squished, and it's about on par with the current...definitely prefer the ones with people shooting.

You know, I just noticed something about that pic...those muzzle flashes look like CGI, especially at wiki size.

This is ready to call. I've moved the old pic and the other options to the Image Links page; can someone please upload and add the winner? Thanks in advance.

Caption or no?

It's up, tagged, and resourced.

No idea on a caption, though.

For the caption, I don't know why but when I look at the current picture, I can't help but think:

"Bang! Bang! Into the room!"

23 is ok as a caption, 22 is just confusing to anyone who isn't familiar with that artist.
