Up to 6 hits if dual wielding.
Well the rrules actually state that only 1 of your attacks can be made by a sidearm, all others need to be with a melee weapon or unarmed if there isn't a melee weapon to use, so maximum of 3 hits.

Still potentially lethal!!!

Autopistol with Rad Rounds.... if they don't kill you with bullets you have a high chance of incurring fleshwounds.... and going out slowly...

No, you're misinterpreting those rules (that are admittedly badly written).
What they mean is that if you are using no Melee weapon each Sidearm can only be allocated one dice and the rest has to be Unarmed. Dual wielding pistols in CC is legit.
We've been over this dozens of times already, no other interpretation makes sense.

Welcome to confusing rules! You are late to the party :sneaky:

The joys of ambiguity!

Still think that this makes autopistols or sub-lascarbines significantly meatier in close combat.

Sure does, compared to other cheap pistols at least. That's only a 1.7 hit multiplier though (on average). It's still a terrible CC weapon when compared to stuff like the
almighty Web gauntlet.
 
Did a search but didn't find anything on it.

Bolt Pistols are coming up as 25Cr each for my Venator Crew in Yaktribe Underhive. Surely this isn't right.
 
According to my trading post, the cost of a Bolt Pistol is 45 regardless of gang:
