So I recently watched Midwinter Minis' batrep/intro to 10th edition video, and he claims at one point that one model can only shoot multiple ranged weapons in the same turn if they're all the same profile, i.e. more specifically iirc he has a Master of Possession who has a pistol and whose psychic attack also has the pistol profile, and he says that's the reason why he can use both. Near as I can tell from the core rules, that's not accurate at all - it just says that if a weapon has multiple profiles, you have to choose one, and you have to resolve all attacks made with weapons of one profile before you move on to the next profile. Kind of a big distinction for e.g. Redemptor Dreadnoughts who have a whole plethora of ranged weapons.

And while we're at it, models who have both a pistol and another ranged weapon can use both as long as they're not in close combat, right?

Nope if you have a boltpistol and a boltgun you have to choose what weapon to shoot. you can shoot your pistol or you shoot your boltgun.

If the model has more weapons options or spychic attacks, In your case he can shoot his pistol options so his boltpistol and his pistol spychic attack. or if he had one other type of gun could chose the other gun. you never can shoot pistols and non pistols at the same time.

You did the rules correctly. But you skipped.the pistol part of the rules. Re-read the pistol entry and be on the lookout for psykisk powers with the pistol keyword.

You can shoot all pistols or non-pistols. Not both. Unless you are vehicle or monster at which point you can shoot em all.

Thanks, guys! Always something you miss. I gotta get more practice games in.
