Read the Night Lords novel series, and the serfs of the Night Lords describe their masters as demigods. They never saw Primarchs. Matter of perspective.

As for Space Marine not being a canon game, (re-reading one of your answers) the game makes no reference to Titus being Captain of the 2nd Company. As well, there is the fact that the year of 999 M41 seems neverending, it is rather difficult to place thing chronologically.

As for exact sources, read the Codex's for Space Marines, (5th or 6th), as well as reading the Imperial Guard Codex.

And, as I have said many a time, have you read Graham McNeil's book Iron Warrior? It will tell you,that a IG bolt pistol is .75 calibre.

As for the book, also by Graham McNeil, The Killing Ground, Captain Uriel Ventris fires a heavy stubber, ON IT'S MOUNT, and has a bit of trouble firing it. As a heavy stubber, according to canon sources (like the IG Codex ;)) is less powerful than a heavy bolter, the idea of a human firing a heavy bolter without bracing is ridiculous.
