Bolters, like close to everything in 40k is pretty smalltime compared to a lot of other sci-fi.
Probably because all the writers for it are noguns britbongs.
For contrast, think of how many space marines it would take to kill a single cap-trooper.

Beyond the part where it is the second lightest gas in the universe, how do you deplete it?
>>33863114
Deuterium-Tritium is the way to make a h-bomb. Of course anything will fuse if you try hard enough.
>>33863192
Since depleted Uranium is just uranium with all the fissile isotopes taken out, I'd guess depleted deuterium is just plain hydrogen.
Games Workshop is retarded.
>>33863244

Gas cartridges were tested with anti-tank rifles in the second world war - The intent was to penetrate a vehicle and force to crew to abandon it.

>>33862373
It meets the definition of firearm.
>>33863475
Machining the nozzles is complicated, expensive, and time intensive. Fuck the timing, just use a gunpowder kicker charge to get the whole thing up to lethal velocity out of the barrel. The rocket can carry it the rest of the way. As a bonus, you don't have to worry about fucking your barrel up as badly if the rocket doesn't fully ignite until after the round is out of the barrel.

In an era where mana was hard to come by, mages started packing their spells into bullets. A few of the guns used to fire these spells ended up in non-mage hands. The shells are hard to come by, but are the easiest counter to Tao magic users who can make normal weapons useless.

Doesn't have to be immediate. You've got wiggle room. Make sure it ignites at some point after it leaves a 24 inch barrel and you're golden.
>>33874577
I imagine the kicker charge would be small, so the rocket would have a small window before it starts seriously loosing velocity.

Except with every one of them having a jetpack, a guided rocket launcher, atomic weapons and a soldier underneath the armor who doesn't consider running at the enemy with a chainsaw-sword to be a good idea compared to engaging from kilometers away.
Come to think of it, why doesn't the imperium casually use atomic weapons?
With their level of technology, every weapon bigger than a heavy bolter could be throwing kilotons of explosion at the enemy.
>given how Death star equivalent weapons can be found frequently on Imperial Ships.
Bullshit.

There was some fluff where some tyranids survived a planet being exterminatus'd by boring underground.

The tyranids don't even have multi-kiloton landmines.

Somewhat related, for muh tacticool SM chapter I came up with this design for a bullpup bolter with an integrated, not underslung or attached, chainsaw bayonet.
>pretty much the same size as a standard bolter
>longer barrel allows greater velocity, so the bolt is deadlier at point blank range before the thrusters engage
>internal motor for the integrated chainsaw, so it's sturdier and stronger than a simple underslung chainsword
>redistribution of weight and ergonomics allows for easier one handed firing if need be
Basically the size/proportions are almost the same as a standard bolter. And if we assume 40k spehs magic technology, I was always under the impression that a bolter has the same internal mechanics as a bolt pistol, just that it has bigger rounds and a longer receiver. So there should technically be enough space to make a bullpup conversion that has enough space in the body of the gun for the chainsaw.
Any thoughts?

I was discussing with the other guy who would, being a cap trooper vs a space marine. Then he said, as quote, "positively have to kill those damn bugs, 40k shit does not even begin to cut it." Then I responded how the nids are far more powerful than the arachnids or bugs. There, happy?
>>33876694

Also cite where the average bug has beam weaponry. Skinnies don't count.
>>33877873
>the lore is very consistent

Anyhow, nids don't just have beetle launchers, they also have spike guns, parasites that'll rip you from the inside out, infiltrators via genetic manipulation, acid that will melt most materials, and the occasional plasma.

No, they only bombard the planet to the point everything on it reverts to rock.
Quoting Starship Troopers, that is not enough to kill the Bugs.
>"I do have one comment to make to any armchair strategist who has never made a drop. Yes, I agree
that the Bugs’ planet possibly could have been plastered with H-bombs until it was surfaced with
radioactive glass. But would that have won the war? The Bugs are not like us. The Pseudo-Arachnids
aren’t even like spiders. They are arthropods who happen to look like a madman’s conception of a giant,
intelligent spider, but their organization, psychological and economic, is more like that of ants or termites;
they are communal entities, the ultimate dictatorship of the hive. Blasting the surface of their planet would
have killed soldiers and workers; it would not have killed the brain caste and the queens — I doubt if
anybody can be certain that even a direct hit with a burrowing H-rocket would kill a queen; we don’t
know how far down they are. "
Exterminatus kills Tyranids, does not kill Bugs. Check.
Also, exterminatus is anything BUT an average day. Unlike your retarded ass, I know the 40k lore and it explicitly states how extremely rare exterminatus is.
>But m-muh Micheal Bay video games!
>>33877873
>Also cite where the average bug has beam weaponry.
>"Presently I got so that I could kill a Bug without wasting ammo or
juice, although I did not learn to distinguish between those that were harmless and those that were not.
Only about one in fifty is a warrior but he makes up for the other forty-nine. Their personal weapons
aren’t as heavy as ours but they are lethal just the same — they’ve got a beam that will penetrate armor
and slice flesh like cutting a hard-boiled egg"

And then there is the Two-Stage Cyclonic Torpedoes.
As quote, "Two-Stage Cyclonic Torpedoes, which are a more exotic form of the standard Cyclonic Torpedoes, are the most common of a special class of rare Exterminatus weapons, designed for use against atmosphere-less or biologically-void worlds (Necron Tomb Worlds being the main example). These torpedoes possess two-stage warheads: The first stage is an unusually powerful Melta Charge that bores straight through a planet's surface all the way down to its core. The second stage is a modified Cyclonic Charge that destabilises it, in most cases physically destroying the planet from the inside out."
So that made your entire quoted passage pointless too, since that would rip the entire planet inside out. Only way the bugs would survive that is if they shat out spores into space like the almost always do.
>Exterminatus kills Tyranids, does not kill Bugs. Check.
Except they have Hive ships.
>Also, exterminatus is anything BUT an average day.
Except, when it is, if you take a look at how many times it has been done. Especially with Inquisitor Kuntman blowing planets up left and right thanks to then nids.
