Storm bolter
From Lexicanum
A Storm Bolter is a Bolt Weapon and is the current development of the Combi-Bolter that was used before the Horus Heresy. It is essentially a dual chamber linked Boltgun. Its higher rate of fire makes it a devastating weapon in close quarters. It is the standard weapon of the Terminators, commonly given to members of the Sisters of Battle as a special weapon, and is often used as a Pintle-mounted Storm Bolter on Imperial vehicles. Because of its higher rate of fire it does tend to run out of ammunition faster than a normal Bolter, however this is made up for when mounted on a vehicle as ammunition can be stored 'en masse' in a vehicle.
Also, most Grey Knights units are armed with Storm Bolters incorporated into their Aegis Power Armour as their primary weapon.
