No you DO drop the other SMG, read this.
The other new feature - dual wielding. This is a pretty sweet feature. Unfortunately for myself, I don't think I utilized this feature enough. I generally dual wielded about once a game. Hold Y over any weapon you can dual wield, and you'll pick it up. Bang, dual wielding. Press Y to switch to your other weapon. So for instance, you could be dual-wielding an SMG and Needler, with Rockets in waiting. However if you switch to your rocket launcher, you'll drop the second dual wielding weapon you picked up.
That's a quote from the write up of the Mt. Dew winners, who played the MP demo for 3 hours.
