A Guardsman's individual odds aren't good, but if the Imperium has any resource in abundance, it's manpower. His training is filled with propaganda and misinformation, his commanders are willing to expend millions of men and machines in a conflict like he himself will expend ammunition, and if he harbors any doubts there are commissars ready to summarily execute cowards and deserters. Each Guardsman is equipped with a lasgun that while capable of blowing off limbs is among the weakest weapons in the setting, as well as flak armor that most other armies' standard weaponry can punch right through. The worlds of the Imperium are required to pay a regular tithe in support of its endless conflicts, and part is paid in regiments for the Imperial Guard. In Warhammer 40,000, the superhuman Space Marines may be among the Imperium's most exalted warriors, but the overwhelming majority of its battles and wars are fought by the untold trillions in the Astra Militarum, more commonly known as the Imperial Guard, the vast majority of its members consists of ordinary men and women who hold the line in defense of humanity. The typeВ II also includes an advanced optic with x4 magnification and a low-light infra-scope for detecting a target's heat signature in darkness and throughВ thin barriers.- General Sturnn, Officer Commanding, Cadian 412th Capable of automatic fire the weapon's barrel incorporates a bulky cooling shroud, with coils of heat-exchanging pipes through which pressurized refrigerant chemicals are pumped, which makes it freezing to the touch between firings (a foregrip is included to protect the user). Built more ruggedly than the delicate Railrifle but withВ a bigger punch than an Autogun, it draws energy from the pack through power cables which connect to the weapon's rapid discharge generator, where energy for each shot is stored. Used in the Mordian Iron GuardВ andВ the Death Korps of Krieg, this weapon extensively saw service during the Macharian Crusade.ДЄn interesting hybrid of a Railrifle and an Autogun, the Hellgun is standard issue to all Stormtroopers of the Imperial Guard. Although bulkier than the standard issue rifle, it has greater firepower and features a three-round-burst as well as the normal Full-Auto and Single-Shot capabilities of other patterns. One specialised version is the Mark 40 'Armageddon' pattern Autogun, which sacrifices a larger magazine for higher stopping power- holding only a dozen rounds instead of the usual 50. It also has an underside slot for a bayonet attachment as well as a recently added flash-supressor for the muzzle. Fairly light, robust andВ strong it is perfectly able to resist damage or wear on the battlefield. The standard issue rifle for allВ Imperial Guard cheap to make, reliable with decent stopping power this weapon has served the Lenehenese for over a decade. The larger cousin of the Autopistol, this rifle is used in a variety of battlefield scenarios. Cheap, rugged and reliable, it can be found throughout the Imperium of Lenehen, where it is appreciated for its decent stopping power and accuracy. The Autogun is a fully automaticВ Assault rifleВ that fires solid-slug ballistic rounds at the intended target in rapid sucession.
