Warhammer 40k Lore - What are Stubbers, Imperial Armoury 

Ah 40k a battle field with soldiers sporting highly advance power armor, plasma gun, teleporters, deamon blessed weapons, and some random guardsman with a 1870's revolver.

Ah 40k , the only universe where .50 BMG out of a "Heavy Stubber" is considered "low AP value"in comparison to other man portable weapons.

In the grim darkness of the future there are still 50. Cals

I get the feeling that, if you gave an Ogryn a mark 3 heavy with a shoulder sling as a gift, you would have the best Friend EVER for the rest of your days.

Honestly Stubbers are so cool and under-represented in 40K. They are by far the most interesting one because it's pre WW1 technology straight wall cartridges going into battle and serving guardsman and inquisitors alike. The ruff and ready vibe of them just makes me want to use one in the 41st-42nd Millennium.

Shooters and Sluggers, eh? Hmmmmmmmm~... Stubbers of all sorts are criminally underappreciated, in my opinion. While yes, there ARE many good reasons they've been broadly superseded, there's something to be said for the simple. The tried. The true. In the right hands and with correct care and maintenance Stubbers of all types and sizes need only a fortuitous opportunity to shine! It's worth remembering after all that although the Imperium's most famous enemies are huge, terrifying and monstrously difficult to kill by conventional means, the bread and butter work of PDF, Imperial Guard and even some Astartes forces is to pacify insurrections, retake rebellious planets and destroy Chaos cults... all of which generally consist of very large and packed numbers of lightly armoured (and often NOT AT ALL armoured) targets. An open-field pitched battle between hordes is called a meat grinder for a reason. If you've got a Big Stubber, some good mates and several crates of large-calibre rounds, you can easily be the one doing aaaallllllll the grinding. WAAAGH! :D

TY for another great video. Most 40k players completley overlook the heavy stubber unless they played Necromunda or feild IG Tanks. I'd rather equip my tanks w/stubbers than storm bolters due to an extra 12' range & getting 3 shots instead of 2, & the extra point of AP really doesnt do so much against light infantry who more often than not fail their 5+ armor save. I really love the way you cover each piece of equipment w/its own episode & the series you're doing on the ships of the imperial fleet is something I really enjoy having played battlefleet gothic backin the 90's. TY again & keep up the great work

i imagine some sort of ragtag guardsman unit trying to defend their planet pulling up with lasguns, plasma launchers, some old carbines and a fucking M2 Browning

Ah yes war hammer, proof That the 1911 is reliable enough to be used for 40,000 years

The last 2 rounds are what we call flechette rounds.....nasty stuff.

I think stubguns are a lot less standard than a lasgun. It's easier for every little machine shop to make their own version. Stubguns and autoguns pop up in plenty of enforcer troops, among civilians and planetary militias. Lasguns might be stamped out in huge amounts but a stubgun is something even the most basic industrial world can make independently.

Comprehensive! I love these armoury videos about the weapons that, lore-wise, are ubiquitous in the Imperium. Stubbers, auto-weapons, missile launchers, shotguns... They're not glamorous like bolters or melta/plasma but they're a reality of life for a vast amount of the Imperium's population. I take it you're planning to tackle the weird, wonderful world of wh40k's grenades too, at some point?

So many Imperial weapons are powerful and may useful. Amazing.

Only 6mm for the round? Not much stopping power there. Looking at the models I would have expected them to be more like 18-20mm considering how bulky they are. lol

Erm, dude, you got the Semi-Automatic & revolver mixed up.

Cool video. I run a few heavy stubber's with my cultists they work well against guard and the like. I like sound of the amputation rounds. 👍

It's an M2 50 .cal isn't it ?

love your work man keep it up! -CADIA WILL RISE AGAIN

200m/s for a tiny 6mm bullet out of a freaking _TWO KILOS BRICK THE LENGTH OF MY FACE (more or less) ISN'T THAT USEFUL_ It's weird how the writers clearly try their best at writing scientific explanations with some actual sense but they definitely don't know that much about firearms

Basically smaller Ork guns for humans.

Nice video are you going go do any Xenos videos eventually?

Would you ever consider doing something on Assault Cannons?

Look like old arrows World War II style machine gun wild cat looks like it

I wonder what a commissar would say about the 23 stubbers in my gun safe.

a .25 caliber bullet going 700 feet per second? You mean a Raven MP-25 saturday night special pop-gun? No, that doesn't sound right to me. Where did those "specs" come from?

7:45 I'm sure insurgent Heavy Stubbers work fine, they're not being maintained by Tech Priests after all.

so their more effective and better made ork weapons

In the future you are still ruins the guns to still use bullets

cool weapon in the rogue trader RP

I would like an reverse engineered arcotech lasgun plus two pistols over gunpowder weapons even bolt weapons. Plus light power armor arch maul and refractor field....power armour fueled by ColdFusion power plant please....think Santa in 40k can handle all that I have been really good just don't ask the ex hahaha. Great vid as always brother

*wakes up... yawn.... turns on pc... lets see what GDN has for me too look at today

so they are just brownings. ok then.

I got a stubber in my pants
