Planetside has its own logic, based on some presumptions like you may have shield or you may respawn. These are significant differences influencing everything from the backstory till the tactics used on the battlefield. But the characters have pretty similar capabilities like you and me. They need to aim down the sight to score a hit. They get blind when they face the sun. They get damage when they fall from high... Jet Li or Neo or Christian Bale in the movie Equilibrium may be fine with doublewield guns, but that's out of reach for most people.
And that's the point where it doesn't fit in PS lore. Those soldiers are not superhumans. A Hello Kitty sticker on your gal would not fit the lore either. You could have it, but you shouldn't.

I think there's a big difference between nuke nades and insta kill katana's and having dual wield pistols lol, and you would have to hip fire and couldn't look down sights with 2 pistols
