If you’re into retro FPS gaming at all you should do yourself a favor and play Blood-- I think it’s where I learned the word akimbo, as there’s a powerup that lets you shoot double guns for awhile. That’s not why you should play it though; it’s a classic in its own right, and was built on the Build engine (along with Duke 3d and Shadow Warrior).

Please go and watch the movie Guns Akimbo. It demonstrates the concept and is one of the best damn action movies ever produced.

Both hands. Like in games where you have a pistol or smg in both hands.

Sorry for the nine month old answer, but “akimbo” describes limbs that are spread and tilt backwards (even if only slightly) at the joint, like a gecko’s do.
