Am I right in thinking the interpretation, due to the way it is written (pg17 of the BRB), is that the short range of the pistol removing the -1 long range modifier in this example (the shooting unit's shortest ranged weapon), only comes into play if the charging unit starts outside of the 24" range of the thunderers (the firing unit's maximum range).
Yes.
The issue seems to be down to the use of the rules writer saying: 'the shortest ranged weapon' in just this context. This has then been applied to any stand and shoot reaction by a lot of players (including myself).
