I think i am right in thinking that if my model is molded with a boltgun in his hands, he can also fire a bolt pistol, because he is "equipped" with one in the wargear part of his pofile, the rulebook says i can fire any weapon i an equipped with, so does that mean weapons in the wargear? (my sm where space wolves but i painted them as crimson fists before i realised, and i want them to fire boltguns but they are modelled with bolt pistols).

Please clarify, Thankyou

Models aren't a rules source. You guy by what is written in their rules entry.

Yes you can fire any weapon you are equipped with as per the rules. So Infantry with a boltgun and a bolt pistol can choose to fire either, but only get to shoot with one of them as they can only fire a single weapon as Infantry.

What your model looks like has no bearing on that, though you want it to reflect it's rules as closely as possible.
