i've notice that its possible to order a dwarf to carry 1 or 2 weapons whilst hunting or soldiering. what i don't know however is what this entails.

Would a dwarf do just what it says? carry around 2 of the same weapon? or is it possible to make them carry a different secondary weapon?

i can see this as being useful if so, because say for example you could order a marksdwarf to carry a mace or sword or something that he'd pull out when he ran outta bolts. That'd be cool, but is it possible to do anything like that?

They will carry two of the same weapon, but the second is a spare and most likely won't see use.  If you have modded two-handed weapons, they need to be set to use two weapons.  This will probably all change in the next release, praise Toady.

marksdwarf will use their crossbow as hammer then run out of bolts (or sword if using a bow)

the secondary weapon is just if he lodged his weapon in some goblin and he got off, or without a shield if he loses one arm with the mainhand weapon, the dwarf will use the other hand with the second one, and so on. so its just a saftey weapon :>
