Combi-weapon
Combi-weapons are guns used by Imperial Space Marine and Chaos Space Marine armies, and are essentially Boltguns incorporating a second weapon which is good for a single shot per battle. Only one of the component weapons may be fired at once.[1] The recoil of this weapon may break of an unaugmented human arm, so any except a Space Marine cannot use it without harm to themselves.[8] There are two ways of designating them, either Combi-(weapon) or Bolter-(weapon).[1]
