If a soldier is carrying a weapon in each hand, one of these will be treated as the active weapon and will be used by the soldier for all reaction shots. If the active weapon runs out of ammunition, the soldier will switch to the other weapon, provided it contains ammunition as well.
At mission start, the left-hand weapon is the active weapon by default. Otherwise, whichever weapon the soldier last fired with will be treated as the active weapon. To change which weapon is active, fire with the desired weapon, or open its fire mode menu but cancel the attack.
Your soldier's sprite will be displayed with whichever weapon is currently active.
