my statement was, and still is: you cannot make any assumptions as you do not know anything about the material and situation. Bud, do you even know what trolling is? ;)

And how was I making assumptions exactly? all I said was that the Bolter fires a explosive rocket with a force of a 20mm grenade, and because it is Diamantine-tipped, it could penetrate the armor of an Astartes hence why Bolts are always known for their high AP nature for a small-arm, both in fluff and crunch.

''The Standard Bolt Round is standardised at .75 caliber, whereas Heavy Bolter rounds are larger, at 1.00 caliber. As well as the rocket propellant, a tiny amount of conventional charge is also utilised. This charge is just strong enough to force the bolt out of the barrel and ignite the bolt's propellant. The rocket-propellant is carefully fused to ignite just after leaving the barrel, alleviating any possibility of pressure build-up. The bolt then accelerates away towards the target under its own power. The standard boltgun ammunition is designed to penetrate the target and then detonate, causing immense damage to the target and leaving little opportunity for survival.''

The standard Bolt Round consists of: That came from the WH40K wikia itself, all I was talking about was the power of a single Bolt round buddy, the only thing that is even close to an "Assumption" was the Bolt having the explosive power of a 20mm grenade since this was the only thing the Wikia did not go into detail other then "It detonates once it impact into the target". The rest such as how a Bolt from a Bolter works and what a general Bolt round is made from is not even close to an "Assumption". I only created this thread was to find out how the original poster from 1D4Chan.org manage to get the power of a 90mm rocket from, and where he got the source from, nothing more nothing less.
 * 1) A solid-fuel rocket propellant base
 * 2) An outer casing containing conventional charge
 * 3) Gyrostabilizer 
 * 4) Mass-reactive fuse. Has a split-second timer to delay detonation upon impact until after the shot penetrates the target.
 * 5) Hardened diamantine penetrating tip. This allows for the bolt to penetrate most armor before detonation.
 * 6) Main Explosive Charge 
 * 7) Depleted deuterium core. This is a very dense material, adding weight and thus momentum to the round when in flight. This aids in the bolt's penetration of the target.
