Autoguns take the BAR and make it 10 times as complicated.

[@AtomicFire1972]

Autoguns are not much more complicated than real world military firearms, which are designed to operate in shit conditions and are easy to maintain. The main difference is that 40k autoguns use caseless ammunition, making ammo production easier and less resource intensive as stubbers. Much of the lasguns supposed "superiority" is bullshit. The only advantages the lasgun has over the autogun is logistics, ease of training, and basic maintenance. Other than the logistical aspect, the training/maintenance issues could be overcome easily. Autoguns do have a greater chance to malfunction. But "jams" can be quickly cleared and bought back in to action by it's operator. A lasgun, being a high tech weapon requiring specialized knowledge to produce and be serviced at the armory level,would not be as simple as lore makes it out to be (moving parts notwithstanding). If a lasgun "jams", you better call the nearest techpriest. Because, other a power pack swap correcting the problem, your average dipshit guardsman better have a backup weapon handy in that situation. Then there is the matter of specialized munitions available for autoguns in 40k lore. There are even ammunition choices that can turn an autogun from being roughly equivalent in battlefield effectiveness to the Angry Flashlight, into a fucking miniature bolter. A lasgun requires, more or less,switching to an entirely different model or class if you want more punch. It comes down to these lore facts: The lasgun is logistically the ideal weapon for the Imperial Guard, who has to maintain millions, if not billions, of personnel under arms in a standing army spanning the galaxy. And despite the jokes, the lasgun isn't an ineffective weapon. But as far as which weapon is a better as a tactical weapon, then the autogun wins hands down.

If the weather is so wet, wouldn't the moisture in the air diffuse las beams faster than they normally would, losing in effective range, thus putting them at a disadvantage (or at least not being able to leverage their advantages) against the opposing force's bullets?

[@YaboitheCadian]

a note on the Lasgun's power. It's actually more powerful than the Autogun. there's only one reference I have for this though, in the Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer. It mentions the Lasrifle operates at the 19 Megathule range. Given 40k's use of swapping words out, we can safely assume they mean Megajoule. This means the chargepack must contain a potential of dealing out 19 megajoules of energy. The standard chargepack has 80-100 shots. this means that 19 Mj gets dissipated evenly, unless its a backwater charge pack. This works out to 316 Kilo-joules of energy released PER SHOT. All of this hits you in an area no bigger than a finger point. For comparison a .50BMG hits with 10-12,000 JOULES of energy. this makes the Lasbolt THOUSANDS of times more powerful. MIND YOU the BMG hits with Kinetic energy, and the lasrife hits with directed energy. an Autogun is entirely outclassed by the Lasrifle in every conceivable way except for ONE. Penetration. The Lasrifle's energy will try to dissipate the MOMENT contact is made. It will burn away the top layer and then all that's bellow. With enough time the beam will shoot through anything, but the Solid bullet can just punch on through. Just something to think about

[@stephenwood6663]

Given 40K's love of the Latin language, it's worth noting that "thule" means "most distant" in Latin. It's very probable that a megathule is a measurement not of power per shot, but of effective range.

[@YaboitheCadian]

@@stephenwood6663 I thought that too. But thats too on the nose for GW. When they do latin its horribly pigish lattin. Like Munitorio, or Lectititio Divinitatus. Never proper latin

[@stephenwood6663]

@@YaboitheCadian Really, it seems to vary wildly depending on author. While you *do* get basically meaningless phrases like "Lectitio Divinatus", I remember there was an old piece of art of a Guard sergeant with "astra castra Imperium lustrum" graffitied on his shoulderpad (that's "the stars are my camp, the Imperium my light"). The Ciaphas Cain series also has a lot of good Latin, which it mostly uses for stealth jokes - for example, there's a company-scale landing ship called the Avis Tonitrus Duo ("Thunderbird Two").

There is also one with drum magazine with 40 rounds) Muzzle velocity 2706 ft per sec ( Next I took grain from 7.92 rounds and scale them up a bit. Just guessing though really) using a 200 grain bullet 3252 pounds per foot muzzle energy if using 240 grain bullet 3899 pounds per foot muzzle energy LSAT carbine 9.7 pounds( note this is the current weight in prototype stage will probably lower) Overall length 29 inches Barrel length 14.5 inches 6.5 mm (Now I am using creedmoor and Grendel rounds as 6.5 used here are based off one or the other. Note Grendel was design for 600 meters and creedmoor for 1,000 meters) 20 round box magazine 6.5 Grendel has average 1800 pounds for foot muzzle energy Muzzle velocity somewhere between 1600 to 1900 feet per sec 6.5 creedmoor has less rounds so just going to use the 120 grain with muzzle velocity of 3,020 feet per second for a muzzle energy of 2,430 pounds per foot. Now we might have round with insane muzzle energy vs our modern ammo, but the 8.25 round is insanely heavy, and and lose that energy much sooner than our modern round here. As such more at distance the 6.5 Grendel could match very well. While creedmoor will almost certainly surpass it. Such only time this energy counts is close combat, but the round 8.25 has control issues in fully automatic. The Grendel isn't too much worse than the standard 5.56 round. Honestly, I would rather use . 6.5 Grendel.

Loved it, thanks Arch!

lore in the middle of the week? praise the emperor!

I think I fought this very cardinal in Clive Barker's Jericho.

Always wanted to start a renegade guard army to go with my Krieg collection. Too bad the official Forge World ones are out of print now.

It's 3 in the morning but arch has a new video so, I guess sleep can wait.

[@timothykohl9566]

Hey Arch! Loving this new series!...The WW1 style combat of the Krieg deathkorps got me thinking about WW1 which in turn got me thinking about the Spanish flu so random question for you: are there any worlds in the Warhammer universe that have had some utterly f***** up diseases? Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

[@nathanjora7627]

timothy kohl yes there are. I mean... Nurgle is a thing ? So... Yep, there were ^^

[@d180jnr]

I’m confused, why do they look like they worship chaos when they follow the cardinal who is meant to be this divine man that follows the emperor..?

[@stephenwood6663]

If I had to guess, it's because good Imperial citizens are... discouraged from knowing too much about, or looking too closely at, the symbols of the Ruinous Powers. Doing so has been known to change people. I would guess that very few of the Vraksians understood the true significance of the "symbols of the revolution".

[@WordBearer86]

You could just go to Lexicanum and look up the Vraks campaign. Arch didn't go too much into detail because he wants to avoid spoilers to how nasty the Vraks war gets.

[@Zerpderp0]

Because, foolish mortal, the God Emperor is a chaos God now! Mwahahaha

[@kassandrademille7990]

I enjoy your content. Algorithm satisfied.

[@ryanstewart5727]

Scientifically speaking, a lasgun should have no recoil. Well...no kinetic recoil anyways. A laser weapon would produce recoil in the form of heat, not kick.

[@sadmiral7333]

no more brother wars

[@jhetttiernan2623]

Fitting that the defenders of Vraks are depicted as chaos guardsmen

[@omegawilliam95s36]

One way or another they made it work you could say.

[@OneInTheRiver]

Praise the good emperor

[@tabletopgeneralsde310]

Great series, thanks.

If we are talking about table top autoguns. The massive amount of different ammo an autoguns can use. I would take that over a lasgun any day of the weak. Yes the lasgun has the nice effect of never jamming and having the fact their power cells are rechargeable. Their flexabillity is limited.
