A Inferno Pistol is a hand-held Melta Weapon.
Pistol: Pistols can be used to make ranged attacks, and can also
be used in close combat. If a Pistol has an Accuracy modifier, it
applies to ranged attacks only.
Melta: When a weapon with this trait is used to make an attack against an inanimate target (i.e. an item that has a Wounds characteristic, such as doors and some scenario objectives), a failed wound roll may be rerolled once.
Additionally, an inanimate target that loses its last Wound to an attack with this trait is utterly destroyed and should be removed from the battlefield (if possible).
Scarce: The Reload (Simple) Action cannot be taken on a weapon profile with the Scarce trait.
