as i said: give exact sources..

I am merely using canon material,and canon states bolt round= .75, heavy bolter round= .998

(Rougue Trater Rulebook pg 121-122)(Dark Heresy Rulebook pg 133)

as for boltes, their recoil based on the structure of the ammunition is smaller than that of standard projectile weapons..

(Imperial Armour Volume Two - Space Marines and Forces of the Inquisition, p. 250 )

As bolters are used by humans, too like comissars or wealthy people (see bolter or bolt pistol page for the corresponding patterns), we may find that the power armour does enhance the strength of the user significantly, yet we will ind canon sources saying that unmodifid humans can wield heavy bolters without an additional brace or supporting system

by the ay. astartes are superhuman, primarchs are described as demigods ;) small difference
