Can the witch hunter fire with his melee weapon

Question

In the game you have different classes, each of the classes has a melee weapon and a ranged weapon. Now the Witch hunter class starts off with a rapier as melee and pistols as ranged.

If you block with the rapier it also shows that he is holding a pistol, also his melee weapon has a bullet counter which the rest of the melee weapons don't have.

Now the question is is it possible to fire the pistol while using the rapier as melee?

Answer 1

Yes, special weapon 1 key, you can rebind it.
