In the new FAQ, it says that you can get a bonus 1+ attack from having a CCW and a 1 handed weapon (not just pistol). Does a Terminator seargent get +1 attacks from dual wielding? Is the storm bolter considered 1 or 2 handed?

A storm bolter is neither one-handed, nor two-handed. However - as it isn't a pistol, close combat weapon, or a weapon explicitly stated to be one-handed... it doesn't confer a +1 A bonus.

Are Storm Bolters identified in the rules as being single-handed (answer is: no)?
If not then they aren't single-handed as far as the rules are concerned.

In some older codexes (BT for example) they are specifically stated to be two handed, as are bolters. They dont have to be held in two hands, they are just two handed for the fact that they are not one handed and thus do not grant the +1 attack.

That's kind of interesting considering how terminators are modelled with it being 1 handed and SoBs are modelled with it 2 handed but neither mean anything in game's terms.

I modeled two VSS w/ Storm Bolters...no reason other than it looks cool, and provides some variety in a bunch of metal minis.

Yes but to that same note terminators are also modeled with assault cannons being one handed... So in comparison they would almost be one handed to a terminator.

No. It would have to be specifically stated in the rules for Storm-bolter. It is not.
Q: What weapons count as single-handed weapons for the
purposes of gaining additional attacks in close combat? (p37)
A: All pistols, close combat weapons and any weapons
that are specifically stated as single-handed weapons in
their rules.

This makes me think on how gangers in necrmunda would be holding a shotgun in one hand, and than a SMG- sized gun in the other.
Anyways.
Unless it's stated in the unit entry or weapon profile, then yes. Otherwise, no.

Almost true, power armoured Grey Knights get an extra attack from having a storm bolter and a CCW, but they don't get an extra attack on the charge. GK Terminators are unaffected.
