A classic Gun fu move consists of reloading two pistols simultaneously by releasing the empty clips, point the guns to the ground, and drop two fresh clips out of your jacket sleeves into the guns, then carry on shooting. This move appeared in the game Max Payne, along with duel-wielding various weapons, including Uzis, Berettas, and the Ingram SMG. It also appears in the game Halo 2, with any one-handed weapon, including the Magnum, SMG, Needler, Plasma Rifle, and Plasma Pistol.
