The rules don't say otherwise. So, yes to all. Remember,pistols only get one attack in H2H (but can get multiple hits, if Rapid Fire).

The rules for pistols use in close combat make no exceptions for ammo dice, or weapon traits. So, with nothing to say otherwise, yes to ammo dice rolls during close combat..

Now, that don't mean an FAQ wont contradict me minutes after I post. Cause, that keeps happening to me.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist. OK, I am a little. But, I will bet there is an implied fiduciary consequence in "officially" admitting something in a rulebook is wrong. That could imply an FAQ is needed. Or, reprints of the book should be changed. For something small, just give a "reason." No matter how implausible, or contradictory. That's exactly how I get out of working on half the stuff my wife tells me needs to be "fixed."
