omg I can start modeling my captains with dual plasma pistols again! Yeeehaaaww!

No, no, no, no... hold on now! It isn't that a unit MODELED with two pistols can fire both, it is if you can legally take two pistols you can fire both. There are a very few number of units whose rules wording allows this -- it has to say "... may replace his bolt pistol and/or chainsword with..." That little "and" is very important.

I understand that.... but its good you mention it. I'll have to check my codex but I thought I could attain a loadout with dual pistols. I was able to get 2 pistols with my 4th ed codex. I'm sure I was able to do it with the codex I have now.
