I'd rather utilize a firing cadence to ensure that there are two guns in the fight and we're both able to cover each other while reloading. It's worked thus far, so why try to reinvent it?
THIS!
I would prefer to have as many guns "up" in the fight and either suppressing the enemy, or killing the enemy. I understand when one gun goes down the other has to pick up slack while one shooter is reloading, but if you have two guns ready to go, why not utilize the maximum amount of firepower. Instructor Zero is awesome for the neat tricks, but from a tactical standpoint, I'd rather be accurate over being able to empty whatever weapon platform I have in less than 2 seconds. In both my Army and LE training, I learned that when you need to suppress the enemy, you do so without exposing yourself or your team to unnecessary risk. And why in the hell would you ever have a SHTF scenario where you have a bag over your head? If someone was able to enact an oxygen depriving method on you, then either you failed somewhere, or your situational awareness is in dire need of fixing. Except if chemical agents are involved, in which case I think that shooting might come second to getting your O2 flow back online.
