I have a quick question about repeater pistols in melee,

If I am using a repeater pistol in melee is it considered "firing in melee* or am I Clubbing with it ?

* because in the empire rulebook states "unlike most other weapons, a repeater pistol can be used as both a missile weapon and a close combat weapon.

* If i am using it as an additional hand weapon Gun Fu style (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_Vl67brJjM) then it would have its own stat line as a weapon, which means that I gain three extra attacks and armour peircing but at strength 4 ?

* If I take a brace of repeater pistols that would mean I would gain 6 attacks and armour piercing albeit it at str 4 ?

This affects me as I'm putting a campaign together where each player gets a single "king" unit that can equip weapons armour D&D style

Meo,

It is an extra handweapon. Nothing more.

As above. its just an XHW.
