hrmm....
I have a funny feeling that you won't be able to reload both dual wielded weapons. I know the needler/smg combo showed the smg reloading, but not the needler. Follow me on this:
You have a one handed weapon, the smg. You see another one handed weapon on the ground, the needler. Assuming you just spawned and have only one weapon, you get the option to pick up the needler or to dual wield it. Now if you pick up the needler, you have it in your inventory, press Y to switch and you can use it two handed and reload, yada yada yada.
BUT, if you dual wield it, I believe that you won't be able to reload it, you will just have to fire it until the clip runs out and then drop it, like a one-time use thing. Almost like a power-up. There are the options of either adding it to your inventory or dual wielding, as well as the fact that when you switch away from dual wielding you drop your second weapon.
That means that when you dual wield, the second weapon is NOT in your inventory. If you were in fact allowed to reload a dual wielded weapon, you would lose the ammo in your inventory that was loaded into the second weapon once you dropped the second weapon. That doesn't seem to me like something Bungie would do.
Aside from the gameplay aspect, it wouldn't be realistic. No way the MC is going to run around independently firing and reloading two different weapons each with only one hand. Unless there is a shoulder strap or some kind of lanyard on the single-handed weapons, and that's just ridiculous.
