You would have to be a mutant to use 3 weapons in close combat.

If you fight with two pistols, you lose any left-over attacks.

I disagree, but I'll need to look at the rulebook to make sure of the wording. My reading at the moment is that you can allocate your other attacks to unarmed strikes - so you shoot 'em twice (with each of your pistols) then kick 'em in the shins. Not quite the code duello, but it's the Underhive, baby!

Its really not clear. Logically you would think that you could allocate a dice to each pistol, but the wording suggests otherwise

The only exception to this are pistols; a pistol can only have one attack allocated to it. Any other attack diece that would have been allocated to the other weapon instead, or if the attacker does not have another weapon (or if the other weapon is a pistol), they are made as unarmed attacks

To me this implies that you can only have 1 pistol attack, even though you would think that duel wielding would allow you to make 2 in cc.

I guess it makes sense. Having 2 autopistols mean you have a potential 10 attacks from a single model.

The loadout for juves isn't clear either. It says each weapon can be no more than 20 credits. So can I take a flail and an autopistol? Or am I limited to 20 credits worth of items, ie knife + stubgun

Ah; I'd missed the section in parentheses; that changes my reading.

So, if you're armed with a pair of pistols and no other melee weapon, then you get +1 A for two weapons (unless that rule also has an exception), but you only make one A with one of the pistols and all the rest are unarmed attacks.

I posted a couple of questions to their facebook. Maybe they'll answer, idk.
If that is the case, then there's no point in duel wielding juves, as the reason why you want double pistols now to is to maximize the number of shots from rapid firing.
As juves have bad BS, and as you get a penalty to shooting 2 pistols, gunslinging juves are sadly not great. Unless they somehow hit.

Remember, Juves, Champions and Leaders can have more than one equipment loadout; buy 'em a single pistol now, then another one when they get a BS upgrade or the Gunfighter skill or something.

Huh, I thought it was just leaders and champs. That helps out juves a little.
What is the ideal ratio of juves to gangers? 50/50?

Thoughts on stub guns vs autopistols? It used to be an easy choice, but now stub guns seem to have a lot more going for them (better short range bracket and +2 to hit). Does the rapid fire of the autopistol offset this? I’m thinking specifically for juves but not exclusively. Oh and dum dum bullets are cool too!

So what you're saying is that you can't kick somebody in the nuts
