Trench Crusade

Automatic pistols are symbols of prestige owing to their rarity and cost. They are excellent weapons when storming trenches or fighting in hand-to-hand combat. They boast a high rate of fire, though they can be hard to control even for the best sharpshooters since they usually lack a stock.

A model armed with an automatic pistol can use it in melee as well as ranged combat (using Ranged Characteristic), including as an off-hand weapon to execute an additional melee attack. You can make two Attack ACTIONS with the automatic pistol instead of one if used as a ranged weapon. They can be against the same target or two different ones.
