In-lore, Commissars love the Bolt Pistol cause of its distinct firing sound, perfect to let Guardsmen under their charge know what's in it for them if they fell out of line. However, the primary drawback is that in order for the Bolt Pistol to fit into the Commissar's hand, the gun either has to sacrifice magazine capacity (meaning less shots, a very dangerous drawback in actual combat), or the Commissar in question requires augmentations to carry the weapon around, either with a bionic arm or extensive genetic enhancement similar to those received by some Tempestus Scions.

I wouldn't say the Bolter is absolutely what brought success to the Imperium. Remember that about 75% of the Imperium's success in war and conquest is because of the Imperial Guard. Yes, that remaining 25% is vitally important, because anything less than 100 (and then some) means certain defeat in 40K, but it was the humble lasgun (and perhaps an artillery round or two) that held the Imperium afloat across the galaxy.

With even heavier and assault variants it fill the role of effectively Anti-Materiel Bolt Sniper Rifle, it is ludicrously heavy and beautiful.

As much as i like the Bolter, its proportions are always a bit weird to me, the magazine looks kinda small compared to the huge chunky rest of the gun and the ammo it spits, and they´re supposed to hold 30- 60 rounds in their standard variation. It feels like the artist who designed it forgot about it and quickly added a small mag where still was room on the gun.

@Dimetropteryx 10 ай бұрын

It's also supposed to be a .65 to .75 caliber round, meaning just about every depiction of the round is massively exaggerated.

Like many sci fi settings the math on the weapons isn't anywhere near proper. Bolt projectiles resemble 4 bore and 2 bore stopping rifle bullets from the 1800s and early 1900s more than. 75 caliber, which would mean theyd be just a little bit fatter than a 50 cal., but bolts are definitely MUCH larger than those (most people know what 50 cal. looks like so I'm using it for as an example). It reminds me of the scorpion tank in Halo. It fires brass casing 90mm APHE which is an ammo type we haven't used in tanks since WWII; most tank ammo doesn't use casings these days and APHE is terribly outdated but we went back to using it 500 years in the future for some reason.

@radwolf76 11 ай бұрын

Yeah, it's a prime example of a SF author pulling technobabble out of their ass, mashing up science terms to make something that ends up being absolute nonsense, like Star Trek's dilithium crystals. Clearly the inspiration was depleted uranium's use in real world munitions for its density and pyrophoric properties, but they didn't want something that would sound like a technology developed in the 20th century, so they swapped out for probably the worst choice to swap out for. Freelance Artist Philip Sibbering, whose work has adorned at least a few official 40k Novel covers, came up with the headcanon idea that the Deuterium is actually being used in a Thyratron, a vacuum tube -like electronic component filled with gas that is sometimes used in radar applications. He also came up with an explanation of how it could be "Depleted", as it was a potential byproduct of a multi-stage hydrogen enrichment process. "Phillhammer" is in no way an official explanation, but it at least answers the question.

I think they wanted it to sound cool without just stating hydrogen. Nonetheless, I'm sure it'll still function the same as hydrogen is very explosive with the right oxygen mixtures. If i had to guess how it works and make sense of this, the Diamantine tip penetrates and sets off the mass reactive detonator which then sets the ignition charge off. The ignition charge injects compressed oxygen into the encased hydrogen core which then ignites it and builds up pressure till it explodes and sends shrapnel tumbling throughout the victim. But again, it's honestly best chalked up to the rule of cool though.

The structural integrity of the shell is weakened by containing a powdered explosive filler rather than a solid metal slug. A solid shot AP rounds will almost always penetrate more than its APHE counterpart. I think it would make more sense if bolters fired a HEAT round, as HEAT rounds can both act as an armor penetrator, but are also explosive by nature.

Would love to know the velocity and ballistic coefficient for exodus pattern and carbine variants.

Can you talk about each of the rank of each faction and tell us why there better, such example of who has the best navy, ground forces, equipment and vehicle

BRUH IMAGINE GETTING HIT WITH A TRANQUILIZER ROUND FROM A BOLTER

@FRPMM 10 ай бұрын

Titan bolters are basically howitzer artillery gun ifkt had auto click and auto reload

@sashamakeev7547 11 ай бұрын

How about the lore behind all space marines carrying absolute zero additional magazines for bolters (and its hard to imagine them to do that cause of bulkiness of such magazines) and them basically having 20-50 bolts to shoot for whole battle?

@jooot_6850 6 ай бұрын

I think it would make more sense, both realistically and thematically, for bolters to be belt-fed and more like a mobile automatic grenade launcher that feeds through a backpack of some kind. Would make them look even more killer by giving each Astartes like 1,000 rounds to use without ever having to reload!

Space Marines do have pouches to carry extra magazines. It could also be magnetized to their armor. They can have ammo supplies dropped to them from orbit. Or they may have a retinue of serfs, servitors, etc following behind the Space Marine force and running supplies and ammo when called for. Many models and other media just doesn't show this for some reason. _"Human peons rushed about with heavy sack bags full of bolter magazines, passing them out to the transhumans. Spent magazines clattered to the floor. New ones were slammed home."_ *- Dawn of Fire: Avenging Son*

Ah yes my .75 caliber rocket propelled tranquilizer round (it’s less than lethal)

They're like the Gyrojet if humanity decided to keep developing it.

Not so fun fact: Deuterium is a real material, however it is not a dense metal as it is hydrogen with an extra neutron. No such thing as depleted deuterium exists, it is most likely a reference to the real life uses of depleted uranium in tank rounds.

As a Leagues of Votann fan, one thing I would like to point out about the Kin's bolters that seems unique to them, at least the Auto-Pattern bolt pistol, bolter and combi-bolter (not the Bolt Cannons), is that they lack any ejection port for spent casing. This seems to imply though it isn't stated anywhere, that the Leagues of Votann have developed their Bolters into purely Gyrojet rocket rounds over most of the Imperial bolter round models..!

@AlexWithington 11 ай бұрын

As far as im aware the imperium uses a two stage system with a conventional powder charge to get it out the barrel followed by the jets. So this means what you are saying means votan have gone full gyrojet which would mean caseless ammo at the cost of lacking close range hitting power. Kinda cool to think about imo

@Sorain1 4 ай бұрын

I think it's more likely they use a magnetic accelerator instead of a chemical charge to get the initial round out the barrel. Two reasons: 1. The Votann have better tech than the modern Imperium in general. 2. Because they do so much close quarters fighting, anything that would lack close range power wouldn't be widespread.
