all guys like you wanna o, is to press fiction into a framework that suits your agenda, when from the start it is not able to fulfill that role becuse you lack simple data.

consistency only works within one universe or timeframe, and is actually already defied by different authors interpreting past things, wishing to tell different stories or simply not knowing every aspect of previous lore/making their own stuff up. (see f.e. Goto) let me give you some simple examples:

The Vengeful Spirit in Flight of the Eisenstein has gun turrets the size of the Death Guard flagship Endurance In later books that gets changed Or if you wanna go on about hing like transhuman dread or astartes speed how about single biome planets or the useless 40k ship construction or the principle of using cannon shells for ship battle at %of lightspeed, etc...Take a flying brick like a thunderhawk doing everal hundred kilometers/hour and still being maneuvrable and so on. I could make up a list about tons of things that are not consistent within the lore. Heck many people have problems with the primaris lore because it is totally inconsistent with established characters and institutions

As you have 0 clue about the atomic composition of the likes of "plasteel, ceramite, etc" you can forget calculations, the same holds true for f.e. bolter propellant or effects (sometimes one round manages to pierce astartes plate, sometimes many are needed, etc, you have no clue about the energy output of weapons, how things work, etc.... (hey not even the authors often times know that)
