Since the Sisters of battle are making a huge comeback I have a question about them. Are they technically female space marines with the argumentation or not?

Cool halo reference, but the reason I ask was because I always see then use Boltguns and it's says that only space marines could use those because of their brute strength. And well the Sisters of battles aren't argumented.
If I remember correctly most men unless under the command of the IG or PDF are not allowed to use a weapon but women are
Lel where was the halo reference
The Adepta Sororitas are entirely human, in terms of augmentation etc. Of course they have their own training but nothing as brutal as that of Astartes. They wear power armor (much like space marines), but lack the ability to communicate and interface with their armor (due to the lack of the Black Carapace implant); not to mention Astartes power armor is superior both in terms of function and resilience. I'm certain Sororitas could utilise things such as heavy bolters, heavy flamers, autocannons and eviscerator chain blades though they wouldn't be given such equipment to take into missions as they are very cumbersome and I think the mortality rate of Sororitas can be quite high meaning loss of such weapons can be an unaffordable loss. Hand flamers, normal flamers and their standard issue bolters yes, and the rest of their standard kit. Also for interest sake I have read Cult of the Warmason and within it's pages a few Sisters were able to hold back a large crowd of panicked people thanks to their armor, so they should be capable of some heavy lifting. Sorry for the long reply, here's a blessed Ecclesiarchy potato *presents unnaturally shiny potato adorned with purity seals in the palm of my powerfist*
Regular humans with all the cool toys. Theres a few examples of humans with bolt weapons, in the emperors gift an inquisitor uses a bolter gifted by the blood angels that uses grav tech so she can wield it
