Let's say there are two opposing models in a zero-visibility zone. Neither have MSV or any relevant gear.

Active Player declares MOVE to move his model into base-to-base contact with the other model. The obvious intention is to declare CC next action.

Can the inactive player declare a SHOOT action at any time in ARO with a weapon other then a pistol? Can the inactive player ARO actually even use a pistol?

If you can't see the guy due to zero-vis I don't think you can shoot him, even in ARO.

The reacting model would gain LoF only when the Moving model entered base contact and you cannot declare a BS attack unless you have LoF or when in base contact with an enemy.

Yes, you can use a pistol but that's because the pistol has the CC trait allowing it to be used as a close combat weapon. If a model declares a CC attack with a pistol it actually uses its CC attribute instead of BS.

See pg. 33 BS Attack requirements, pg. 41 "Interacting with a CC" and pg. 52 "CC Attack"

Pretty good tactic. Drop zero smoke on someone and charge in. I somehow ever thought of that.

Also good to know you use CC value with pistol instead of BS
