Period. Eh, you can analyse fiction from a technical standpoint treating it as a "real" entity, you just have to remember that not very few works of fiction portray engineering and technology which is bound by the same constraints as real life. I can reasonably assume that penetration dynamics of armour-piercing shells versus armour work the same in 40K as in real life, but I'd be out of my mind to assume that the performance of those shells and armour is within real plausible limits seeing as the evidence from 40K novels and such often shows otherwise.
