Heavy stubber
From Lexicanum
(Redirected from Heavy Stubber)
The heavy stubber is a projectile weapon; a heavy machinegun that resembles the modern day M2HB .50 calibre machinegun used by the U.S. army and various other armed forces. It is often seen pintle-mounted on many Imperial Guard vehicles and is used for anti-infantry and light anti-aircraft fire. It is cheap and easy to mass produce, and is nearly as effective as a Bolter, though it is far less sophisticated a weapon.
It is also a very old design and is fairly reliable, requiring less maintenance than other weapons of its type. It is often used by forces from worlds without the technological basis to make las weapons. When the Storm Bolter is not available, they are often pintle mounted onto vehicles as close defense weapons.
