Absolutely this. "It should look exactly like the models" is a baffling take, one that's seen warhammer artwork take a significant downturn over the years.

To my knowledge, there's only like, 5 variants of boltgun that are actually named, and a few, the two I can think of off the top of my head being the Mars-pattern and shrapnel Bolter, of them are the exact same visually, however there's over two dozen Las-Guns, at least 7 named and at least 5 have canon looks.

Another benefit of leaving the grips in 'raw printed plastic' is that they will not show any colour loss from the wear and tear of simply being handled repeatedly.

[@FauxHammer]

This guy gets it!!!

[@Sip_Dhit]

Which, personally can be really cool for apocalyptic guns, which is why I paint in so many different colored layers, makes the wear realistic. For this though not painting it was so smart

[@KyrstensCloset]

Iv'e printed the same things from the same guy - rubberized spray paint is amazing on the grips and mag releases.

[@randomrant3886]

As a veteran, and fan, the only gripe I have really had (outside of some parts of reality and a lack of placement for the gas back systems) is the way the fore pump action grip size and placement means you would have to pump out instead of in. Still doable especially if the grip had a place to move even if it was shorter than the full traversal. But seems more messy and prone to failure in certain situations as is. Still very nice and rocket ammunition takes care of an interesting bit.

[@FauxHammer]

To be fair, bolsters do jam

[@Scufflegrit]

Bolters aren’t pump action. That’s just a hand grip. As for the gas problem, bolt rounds have two charges: “As well as the rocket propellant, a small conventional charge is also utilised. This charge is strong enough to force the bolt out of the barrel at a significant muzzle velocity, and simultaneously ignite the bolt's propellant. The rocket-propellant is precisely fused to ignite immediately as the bolt leaves the barrel, alleviating any possibility of pressure build-up. The bolt then accelerates toward the target under its own power.”

[@apoco_lips9957]

i saw a bit of distortion on the copper colored bullets that looked familiar, then saw we had the same printer at least for that item you printed and i just figured that same distortion out on my own p1s today. at smaller layer heights like .08 i got that exact same type of distorted surface pattern and after a ton of testing i figured out that lowering the speed to the 50% silent mode got rid of those surface anomalies. I am going to try a print slowing just the outer layers down to 100mms instead of the 200 it was set at to try and match the 50% number they show for silent mode so I can run it at normal speed for the inside and supports

[@oldschooldos6850]

Warhammer Darktide the left 4 dead-ish PC game just got good again and released to Xbox so you're riding a lil wave of resurging WH40k interest and the bolter sounds so good in that game. Your print kicks ass and looks gorgeous.

[@FauxHammer]

Ah, I wondered why this blew up so well, almost viral at this point!

[@Mischievous_Moth]

GW already partnered with Hasbro (WotC) for the Warhammer Commander decks for magic the gathering. I could totally see them partnering again to make functional NERF bolters. I mean hell, we already got a nerf Gjallarhorn from Destiny, so this isn't even that big of a leap for them.

I didnt had the iconic cannon or the rocket launcher, but this gun did the job done. Sadly, i printed the parts on my Ender 3 Pro and they werent perfect AT ALL.
