Linebreaker

Space Marines Portal

Linebreaker is an Astartes Shotgun used by the Marines Errant Chapter. The Astartes shotgun is commonly thought of as a weapon for the Scout Companies, but the death toll on enemy forces by the veterans who have wielded this weapon speak to its effectiveness in other hands. The weapon's specially crafted, short barrel is reinforced to withstand a unique shot made of super-dense alloys. Even a grain of this ammunition impacts with the force of a slug from a lesser weapon, allowing for a devastating spread of fire. However, it cannot use standard or special-issue shotgun rounds. ^[1]
