Hilariously enough this game shows just how "level 1" basic humans are in the universe. Virtually nothing aside from the cool weapons is recognizable to anyone who's played tabletop or a game like Dawn of War or Space Marine because you're fighting way bigger stuff in those games.

@@CrizzyEyes it's not like regular humans don't also deal with those larger threats. Imperial Guard is like 95% of the Imperium's fighting force, Space Marines are relatively minor on the grand scale
I hope we can get some magazine extensions. Like, nothing crazy, I’d just want a 20 round mag for my bolter so I can use it for a bit longer without having to reload. Just 5 more rounds.

So, brothers, what could be done to bring other weapons up to snuff? I am genuinely curious, I want to hear. TELL ME DAMNIT
Bolters are the true weapon of equality. They can truly end anyone in the same equal single shot, and every one of them will experience that warm pop from within.
@@CrizzyEyes got a feeling that bolter in 40k work like a grenade launcher but instead of grenade it gyrojet ammo and it also kick like a mule for anyone that is not Space Marines
It’s because they are originally designed to be fired by soldiers wearing Power Armour. The suit does most of the work of stabilizing the gun. The guardsman has a smaller weaker version, for un enhanced users, so a stock would make a lot of sense here, but altering the form of such a holy weapon would be TECH HERESY!
@@ZzVinniezZ Maybe, but ostensibly, low recoil is supposed to be one of the advantages of gyrojet. There is also power armor that is designed for use by non-Astartes which many people don't realize. I think it is most commonly used by the Inquisition too.
Funny thing, those are arbites bolters. Some people thought it was a bit much to give space cops bolters. Fortunately, those people were shot by bolters for heresy.
I mean yeah, the bolter is definitely the versatile weapon of choice for the sensible veteran, but braced autogun just has that massive giggle factor the bolter doesn't...
Hope we get customizable sights at some point. Some of these weapons have pretty bad iron sights and would benefit greatly from magnifying scope. Bolter seems fine, but I just tried a game with charge-up las rifle, and couldn't hit shit between bad visibility due to iron sight and bad visibility due to bleak lighting.
2:07 You know that part in Astartes when they're fighting the heretical Astartes and the two on top of the rails lay down absolute hate with automatic bolter fire? Yeah this really puts in perspective how much damage something like that might cause. Lmao Oh my lord, the sheer firepower!
Soldier, you see that weapon of mass destruction that dislocated your shoulder everytime you shot it ? This is a powerdowned version of the handgun the Astartes use.
I was almost afraid this was about to be a Warhammer 40k game _without_ a Bolter. I mean- I love my Lasgun as much as the next guardsman, but the panoramic sight throws me off. _This_ though, this feels like home.
That reload animation, you can FEEL the pain you're about to inflict once that charging handle rams that round home. FatShark outdid themselves by bringing this absolute beast into the game
I love using the bolter so much that I find it hard to go back to the flamer, a fucking flamethrower. You just feel so fucking powerful then shooting 15 bolts into an elite and watching it materialize into a pool of blood in the matter of two seconds.
i love the bolter on my vet. you get a 20% boost to reload speed if you have a round left so in some situations I do full-auto on a group of troopers/elites, watch the chaos and stop with 1-3 rounds reload and do it again... so much fun.
I still do not understand why bolters designed for regular humans without power armor are made without a stock, but a recoilless lasgun is. I mean Emperor save him; his face is probably broken in several places after firing that thing while looking down its sights.
>I still do not understand why bolters designed for regular humans without power armor are made without a stock, but a recoilless lasgun is.< I think it's better not to think about it :^)

The veteran have some big muscle if he can use a bolter good enough without to broke his arm. Thanks everyone, but now please give me some peace already! 🙁😔 Stop it, i can't have some peace?
I know this already, why do you think im surprised he can use a bolter without breaking his arm, even a bolter pistol can broke the arm or hand of a non augmented human.
A 50-cal machine gun fires 12.7mm rounds. Bolters would be firing 19.05mm which is basically a small autocannon. Weird it lacks a stock, I've seen art and models of bolters with stocks. Maybe there's an option for one. ... Logically if bolter rounds are self-propelled as some lore suggests that should lessen recoil.
Bolters are often portrayed as two stage with casing. Their lack of stocks is because they're wielded mostly by power armored units and people with some form of enhanced, abnormal, or conditioned strength. "Normal" humans would likely use them similarly to the video. Single shot in most situations with full auto being a lost resort.
What the other guy said, also: Space Marines have integrated targeting systems in their helmets, that work similar to the ''Smartgun'' from Aliens. The helmet is connected with the Bolter and the power armor directly via the Space Marines' nervous system through an implant called ''black carapace''. When the helmet's targeting system locks on a target, it sends a signal via this ''black carapace'' to the arms, in order to automatically adjust the weapon. And even without all this, Space Marines have insane eye coordination, sight and reflexes, which makes them extremely skilled marksmen.
Bolter deletes everything. As it should! I would love to see a Space Marine Sized Bolter with a bi pod and carry handle, used like a heavy weapon for a normal human sized guardsman.
It's actually Heresy. The weapons of the Astartes are considered holy, and aren't supposed to be touched by normal humans. (You have human sized Heavy Bolter with bipods, though)
I just hit level 14 and first store reroll ther was a green locke mk IIb spearhead bolter and it's the most bad ass thing I've ever used in a fps. Everyone complaining about the game just must not have one left. My response to whiny threads from now on is going to be "b-b-b-bolter."
@@samswann180 Both are .75 caliber. The difference is Astartes bolt rounds are much higher quality with far more powerful propellants and explosive payloads.
Bolters used by normal humans are rather scaled down compared to what the Space Marines use. Compare this to the bolters used in "Astartes", for example.
I'm lore confused right now, from what I read and heard humans aren't supposed to be able to fire the bolter. Somesay it's a watered down version with a lower caliber (75 to 50), some same it's the same caliber but with less impact. Definitely need an update on this
![Death Korps of Krieg [WH40K SFM ANIMATION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hmv9YA2pS-g/mqdefault.jpg)
Bear in mind that this Boltgun pattern is actually a watered down version of the Adeptus Astartes pattern.

The bolt gun should’ve had a really beefy stock to show how much would support would be needed for a regular human to use it.
mortal-sized bolters pattern exists. and even if it's smaller than Astartes Bolter it's still considered a heavy weapon by human standard.
I just hit level 14 and first store reroll ther was a green locke mk IIb spearhead bolter and it's the most bad ass thing I've ever used in a fps. Everyone complaining about the game just must not have one left. My response to whiny threads from now on is going to be "b-b-b-bolter."
my only problem with the gun is the re-cocking every time it comes out, it adds like 2 secs of sometimes needed time.
Yah some of the recocking animations really bug me.
I think its a balancing thing, more damage but takes longer to reload and ready than like the las pistol, def looks kinda stupid tho.
What trust level did you get that at?
Because I'm getting tired of las and autoguns and I REALLY want a bolter
Probably 20 .
I am in 18 . Just have a shotgun and power sword.
Boltgun iirc is lvl 23
About 20.
Until you get the bolter, the shotgun is like a poor man's bolter
Hits like a truck and if you crouch+ads you can snipe with it too
@@commerade1 Shotgun is very good for sure. Wish the special ammo was a manstopper round instead of one shot with horizontal spread but w/e.
Precision Fire!
*BAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAM*
good thing it does not sound like falling glass shards like in the horus heresy trailer, that was atrocious
Now that, kids, is a Boltgun.
well this game makes the bolter into s7 ap-2d2 at the least. otherwise ogryn wouldn't go down
I love the bayonett. Does more damgae than my melee weapon
A bolter is a 75 cal. Meaning its around the size of a can of monster energy.
Those are the Astartes ones. The guard-portable bolters are .60, which is still bloody massive
@@samswann180 a burst fire 60. Cal still gonna shread.
@@samswann180 Both are .75 caliber. The difference is Astartes bolt rounds are much higher quality with far more powerful propellants and explosive payloads.
Wow. Normal guardsmen using bolt gun.. that is so realistic
Bolters used by normal humans are rather scaled down compared to what the Space Marines use. Compare this to the bolters used in "Astartes", for example.
you think you know your bolter, until you try heresy difficulty
2:25 "YOU'RE HITTING ARMOUR!" to be honest lady, I don't think it matters considering he's firing .75cal of pain
Might have to try Guardsman after watching this.
I'm lore confused right now, from what I read and heard humans aren't supposed to be able to fire the bolter. Somesay it's a watered down version with a lower caliber (75 to 50), some same it's the same caliber but with less impact. Definitely need an update on this
