A Hurricane Bolter mounted on the sponson of an Ultramarines Land Raider Crusader
The Hurricane Bolter is a weapon employed by the forces of the Adeptus Astartes and the Adeptus Custodes that combines six co-axial bolters in a single weapon mount. The Hurricane Bolter is an extremely effective anti-infantry weapon and consists of six bolters mounted together in three decks of two, fired as a single weapon.
The Land Raider Crusader, the Stormraven gunship, the Ravenwing Dark Talon support craft, the Ironclad Dreadnought, the Corvus Blackstar, the Space Marine Centurions and the Adeptus Custodes' Dawneagle Jetbike are all known to make use of this highly deadly weapon.
