Yes, Pistol Star is larger than Eta Carinae. Pistol Star is one of the most massive stars known, with an estimated radius about 100 times that of the Sun, while Eta Carinae is a binary star system with its most massive component having a radius roughly 90 times that of the Sun. Additionally, Pistol Star is classified as a Wolf-Rayet star, which contributes to its larger size compared to the Eta Carinae system.

Is Antares bigger than V382 Carinae?
Yes, Antares is larger than V382 Carinae. Antares is a red supergiant star, while V382 Carinae is a white hypergiant star. The size of a star is determined by its radius, and Antares has a larger radius compared to V382 Carinae.
How much bigger is Pistol Star than the Sun?

What is Bigger a Hyper Giant Star or Super Giant Star?
Hypergiants are super luminous supergiants. It isn't all about sheer size. Eta Carinae is a hypergiant but it is smaller than the supergiant Antares. This is due to the fact that Eta Carinae is about 60 times as luminous as Antares and 10 times as massive. Although size doesn't matter, the largest star VY Canis Majoris is a Hypergiant.

Is eta carinae bigger then vy canis majoris?
No, you don't have to confuse "more massive" with "bigger". The most massive star in the eta Carinae system may have 100 times the mass of the Sun and be dozens of times bigger than our star but it is far smaller than VY CMa. VY CMa is a red supergiant that has swollen to an extremely large size due to shell burning of different layers on its last stages of life. VY CMa is a cool star. On the other hand eta Carinae is very hot and it is in a different evolutionary state. It is so massive that it will never reach the red supergiant state because it is losing mass at a fast rate. Also the companion play a role and alters the evolution. Eventually eta Car will become a WR star (a naked core) and explode as a supernova. The same fate is expected for VY CMa but since it has already become a rec supergiant it is very likely that it won't become a WR star. This shows that VY CMa is far less massive than eta Car.
How many people fit into pistol star?
Pistol Star is a massive star estimated to be about 100 times more massive than the Sun. Due to its immense size and intense radiation, it would be impossible for people to fit into Pistol Star.
