Pistol **[PISTOL]** and **[CLOSE-QUARTERS]** are identical for all rules purposes.
Units containing one or more models with a **[CLOSE-QUARTERS]** weapon can shoot using **close-quarters shooting** (10.06). When using another **shooting type**, for each model in that unit (excluding **MONSTER/VEHICLE** models), you can only select one of the following to make attacks with:
- One or more of its **[CLOSE-QUARTERS]** weapons.
- One or more of its other ranged weapons.
Melta This ability always takes the form **[MELTA X]**. Each time a model makes an attack with a **[MELTA]** weapon, if the target unit was within half range of that weapon in the Select Targets step, until the attacking unit’s attacks have been resolved, add **X** to that weapon’s **D** characteristic.
***Example:** A model targets a unit that is within half range of a **[MELTA 2]** weapon with a **D** characteristic of D6. While resolving those attacks, that weapon has a **D** characteristic of **D6+2**.*
