Duel Wielding Idea for Elves
Let elves hold a one-handed weapon and, with their off-hand, hold a wand.

I think that would be an interesting way of giving elves something unique. Since giants can dual wield maces, I think elves dual wielding wands would make sense.
In a sense don't elves already have that since they shoot two arrows at a time?
Bowguns
Use Dynamite as Projectile...
Melee weapon in other hand.
Crossbow you mean?
B(l)owguns, yes, bowgun is not really a word. For that concept, we use the word: crossbow.
Cheiroballistra or Gastraphetes

Fugitaboutit.
As for Melee dual wielding, it's been completely obsoleted on humans between Erg upgrades immensely favoring 2H (50 min/max +300 splash radius +50 def/mdef/prot/mprot -15% non-racelock close combat cooldown reduction) sword to 1H sword (21 min/max) and the Final Hit buff for 2 handed weapons that was added in the second giant update that added Final Strike.
On giants dual wielding has a niche use of reducing Smash's cooldown to 1.5 seconds from the usual 2.55 seconds you would have on your erg 50 Borealis/Massive Despair, so in combination dual erg 50 Frosted Borealis Hammers with one being Ego'd for the bonus crit damage and crit cap (2H has +5% crit cap when using smash naturally that you lose out on too) you can potentially juice a lot of dps out of Smash with a combo card, but aside from that you're losing defenses from your shield and the ability to take 1 damage with large shields+defense skill, losing Final Strike's 20% damage bonus for 2hs and gaining no extra hits or speed as it's fixed attack rate regardless of what's in hand, and probably most importantly losing the 4 piercing levels you would get with Meteoroid/67 floors(/Solitude if you meme and waste a dblade on giant instead of using on a human that actually benefits from 90% splash dmg ratio).
Dual wield in general could use some rebalancing, but really Elf in general needs it more not just because I want the 2 grand I spent on rebirth cards to actually have some meaning outside of enabling an extra 3 lord runs a day and reminding me how much of a scam trade unlocks are. But shoganai Devneko kusai, there is only shoah for Elves on NA, and in parallel with Lennart Poettering and SystemD if it isn't a problem on his machine (in KR) then [NOT A BUG WILL NOT FIX].
Wand ego already does this but worse with +2 cc.
Staff ego already does this but better with +2 cc.
Just trying to offer some knowledge to what people think is a bow gun.
When people think of crossbows, they think of the large cumbersome crossbows that were said to be used by the Genoese and French at Crecy and Agincourt, but as a matter of fact, many crossbows and hand held ballistas are much smaller and have a trigger like function.
The French had crossbowmen at Agincourt but made no use of them, they were too busy squandering their heavy infantry.
Well, they were equipped with those larger crossbows and pavises. The nobles probably thought they were cumbersome and useless versus their more well-quipped cavalry and infantry. Their egos led them to defeat.
Warfare in those days consisted of nobles capturing one and other and then receiving ransom for them, this was the main reason European princes went to war so often back then. The English army had but one prize: King Henry himself. Since the English army was small and had little infantry; archers and crossbowmen, were commoners and were not worth ransoming, Henry was seen as an easy prize or rather as a quick buck, or should I say Franc. So all the French Nobles rushed him at once hoping to be the one to claim him. This caused the French to crowd an already spatially restricted battlefield. It was such a fiasco for the French that in the first wave the English captured so many French nobles that Henry could not spare the men to guard them and put them all put to death. So, yes hubris on the part of the French contributed to their defeat but avarice played just as big a role.
