People of reddit, do you think it's worth upgrading your finger guns from single barrel to double barrel? People who have done this, do you regret it? Why or why not?
- Serious Answer: I stick with one finger because I often transition into finger guns from a snap, to add a little pizzazz to it. If I try it with two fingers, my middle finger comes out slower than my index, as its the finger I use to snap. However, if one chooses not to transition from a snap, I would heavily recommend two fingers, both hands, one slightly in front of the other, followed by a wink and saying the phrase "You're pretty good."

- One handed double Barrel goes for the better people you know. But never do the the two handed Double Barrel. You dont aim at people with that bad boys

- I upgraded my left. I prefer to have the choice of firepower, in case the next enemy only drops single-barrel handmunition.

- I already have really thick fingers. The recoil from these .50 AEs is enough with one barrel, much less two!

- This leaves me fewer fingers to serve as the handle and thus reduces accuracy. I need to be able to hit my finger gun targets from 50 meters. I can't afford to cut that down.

- It depends on the situation. Single barrel is really good for a casual situation, but double barrel really gets the job done when something serious needs to be taken care of.

- As long as you don't run out of handmunition, I say go for it!

- Double barrel is useless! Finger guns are a 50% visual, 50% sonic experience. How can you snap and do finger guns if you do double barrel?

- Speaking as someone who once had to [use a prosthetic during a finger-gun fight](https://i.imgur.com/40Cfrtb.gifv), I can actually speak to this.
A double-barreled finger-gun has the advantage of firing two shots at once, which is particularly useful if your opponent has a forcefield. After all, one finger-bullet isn't enough to penetrate such barriers, but *two* will almost always cause some damage. The downside is that you'll end up having to deal with considerably slower reload times, and that can spell doom when other people are using the fast-and-precise, single-barrel variety.
There is a way to get the best of both worlds, though.
If you can train yourself to be ambidextrous (which I admit is kind of a steep challenge), then you can upgrade one hand to a double-barrel finger-gun, and leave the other as a single-barrel one. This will allow you to take rapid-fire shots at people when situations require it, but you'll also be able to punch through armor and forcefields alike with relative ease.
Just remember to watch out for grenades.
Catching them and throwing them back is tough when both of your hands are firearms.
**TL;DR: On the one hand, single-barrel is faster. On the other, double-barrel is stronger. Use both.**
