Exactly which pistols can be used in melee range?

[Hathur]

This is extremely frustrating, I can't figure out which guns are allowed to be used in melee range of an enemy. Bolt Pistols, of the 2 I've found, cannot be fired at melee range.. SOMe auto pistols work.. others don't... some las pistols work.. others don't.. plasma pistols seem to work.

Is there no way to KNOW beforehand which pistols will work in melee range before actually trying out in combat and discovering my melee fighters can't use their pistol at point blank range? It seems to random.

never had a problem as far as i know they all work ? maybe i just got luck

i think you need a ability for this - dont ask wich one, i dont remember - there are to many ....

Had the same issues, it seems that some pistol are still being counted as 2h weapons.
So far the pistols I have found this to be case are
- Astartes bolt pistol
- Elite Blaster Pistol
- Disinigration Blaster pistol
- Blaster pistol.
I could nto shoot these in melee but when i got the close quarters fighting perk that lets you shoot 2h weapons in close combat, they worked.

I think no gun works in melee range unless you have an ability that allows for it.

nope, pistols are supposed to work as are shotguns.

the issue is that some weapons are being treated as "non-pistol" even though they are pistols.

I even found a shotgun that says it's two handed despite the fact it has a 1h icon and even says it's a shotgun "pistol" like the foehammer shotgun pistol

This. You can read it ingame: press L => Tutorial => Attack of Opportunity.

1 Hand shotguns work. 2 hand shotguns work.

Rest are questionable

Pistols and shotguns are supposed to. It only makes sense.
Pistols are supposed to be paired with swords, and pay for being usable at melee range with having much lower damage and penetration values than the 2-handed correspondent weapons.
Shotguns are very close quarters weapons. If you could not use them at melee range, they would be essentially useless.

for melee, shotgun and one hand fire/plasma/fusion weapons I think
