Heavy Stubber

A heavy stubber is a slug firing weapon based upon an old design (aesthetically resembling a .50 caliber machine gun), and is fairly common and reliable. Its high rate of fire makes up for its lack of strength and armor piercing abilities. It is an ideal support weapon for low-tech worlds that cannot look after laser weapons through technological or resource limitations.

Heavy stubbers are often pintle mounted and used as close defense weapons on Imperial vehicles, when the rarer storm bolters are not available.
