OK, I'll concede the point about Captain Titus, I don't go in for the Ultrasmurfs fandom thing.

However, if an unmodified human could fire a heavy bolter unaided, and thus a bolter, why don't all the Imperial Guard have bolters? The production facilities aside, if all the plants that make the cheap and on it's own, ineffective lasgun were turned towards making bolt weapons, then why don't they? The IG would decimate everything they came across if every man had a heavy bolter. As for your reply about commisars firing bolt pistols (I believe it was) unaided, as most Commisars have an augmentic implant of some form, most commonly to use the bolt pistol at full efficiency. Thus, they are not unmodified humans. There is a reason that IG use bolters as a tank-mounted weapon.
