“The Emperor protects...but having a loaded bolter doesn’t hurt either...”

@Daimon-X 6 лет назад

It's more than just a simple weapon. It is a holy symbol, blessed tool of destruction and protection.

@blackstone1a 4 года назад

So you’re telling me Bolters are basically the result of locking an AK rifle and an RPG in the same room and playing “Careless Whisper”? Lit

@GrimDarkNarrator 4 года назад

mix in a grenade launcher too.

@CaptainGrief66 6 лет назад

With our current technology making something like the Godwym Dias-Pattern Boltgun wouldn't be too big of a task, it could work like the US MK19 Automatic Grenade launcher, but scaled down to 20mm, and the rocket part shouldn't be an issue, the Gyrojet back in the 60' was an utter failure, but today a skilled artisan with proper machining equipment could make much more reliable rocket ammunition by himself And there you go, just make it fit in a rifle shape and add an electronic ammo counter and you're done, you've got a (less advanced) Bolter.

@TheTyrantOfMars 6 лет назад

Problem is the 40mm MK19 is a grenade launcher so it has far less recoil then say 40mm Bofors auto canon, designers have tried for years but ultimately anything above 7.62 (rifle calibre wise) is the limit of what's practical. Yes rifles have been made to shot larger rounds like the 50 Beowulf but their actually practically is questionable

@CaptainGrief66 6 лет назад

78slaphead78 But the Bolter uses rocket propelled munitions, go on the Taofledermaus RU-vid Channel (or Forgotten Weapons for the history), they shot a Gyrojet pistol, the thing shoots 45. caliber ammo but it has even less revoil than a .22LR, although the Bolters use a kicker charge of actual gunpowder, they wouldn't have much recoil anyway, also because the guns themselves would be rather heavy. The cycling could be completely automated and not reliant on gas like the API system of a MK19 grenade launcher, the bolt carrier could be operated by an independent hydraulic/eletric piston (which would work like actual 40K bolters, afterall they work in space as well) which could probably lighten recoil further more

@TheTyrantOfMars 6 лет назад

TheOtakuComrade Then you would have a weapon too bulky/heavy to use. There's a reason all these R&D projects remain R&D projects; they look good on paper but aren't actually remotely practical

@CaptainGrief66 6 лет назад

78slaphead78 Well, I don't see how that would make it too bulky, it's not like Bolters and Bolt pistols are small anyway, not even Godwyn-Dias ones. At the very least you could make a rotating bolt piston operated one, but I imagine that then you'd probably need a recoil buffer in the stock, or you could further lower recoil by incorporating a counter-balance/counter recoiling piston mass system like the one on AK-107s.

@GrimDarkNarrator 6 лет назад

Thanks.

@chuckbronson7903 5 лет назад

If you think about it, a Bolter is basicly a magazine fed, full auto, "man portible" RPG. Far out.

@invictusprima4437 6 лет назад

Hey grim will you be doing a video on grav weapons they have always interested me but there’s not much info on them. Also love your vids keep up the good work.

I think you forgot the Vulcan mega bolter in that listing at the end

@GrimDarkNarrator 6 лет назад

I didn't actually. I didn't mention it because I wanted this series to be dedicated to more or less hand-held weapons. I also talked about the vulcan mega bolter in a titan weapons video :)

@maladroitknight 3 года назад

As far as pure damage goes, the inkunzi PAW would probably be a good equivalent to a bolter As far as looks, scaled to human usability, with decent damage goes, the origin 12 AOW without any stock with explosive slugs would be a good equivalent

Can you do some videos on xino weapons

You should look in the individual xenos factions playlists. I did some.

@henryheavy8044 4 года назад

what is the explosion radius of a single bolter round ?

@GrimDarkNarrator 4 года назад

This is by no means exact or canon, but i'd guess around the range of the average human torso size.

Afraid I'm not very knowledgeable on technical game rules. Sorry.

@jethrot7984 6 лет назад

Oh ok

@invictusprima4437 6 лет назад

I’d say no but you could proxy them as guardsmen assuming the other players will let you

@Ben_of_Langley 6 лет назад

Great video as always grim those boltguns sound so op in the lore but on the broad game there pretty standard in power I do like the volkite chargers which brings me to a question I have for you. the volkite charger do you know if they are still used in 40k? By either character units or special weapons squads the reason I'm asking is because I would like to add that weapon type to some of my space marine squads but haven't been able to find a answer to weather you can for example like some 30k tanks or dreadnoughts they become classed as relic pattern vehicles in 40k so would the volkite charger be classified as relic weapons in 40k. If that's the case then I will know that I can use them and also what unit's I can upgrade with them. which at this point I'm thinking HQ unit's or elites and my chaos army can have some aswell. Thanks for your time and look forward to next video

@TheJarric 6 лет назад

no tech pries only know how to make volk pistols

@GrimDarkNarrator 6 лет назад

From what I read, Volkite weapons are still present in the 41st millenium but they are more or less akin to relic weapons. They are very rare and treasured, only use by big-wig officers, mechanicus higher ups or space marine champions. No way are they standard issue to the Guard or something like that.

@Ben_of_Langley 6 лет назад

GrimDark Narrator thanks for replying to my question I had a feeling that the volkite would be classified as relic weapons. Will you be covering the volkite charger lore in its own video? thanks again and look forward to your future video's

@GrimDarkNarrator 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching. I will be covering volkite weapons in another video, or include them with another weapon.

@Ben_of_Langley 6 лет назад

did the single down voter not even leave a comment as to why, if i downvote something im heated

@GrimDarkNarrator 6 лет назад

I doubt most downvoters, regardless of video or channel, bother to leave reasons why. I'm just glad I get very few overall in my videos.

@bolinforsoup 5 лет назад

Hey, I didnt downvote but this is my first grimdark video and the content is great, but I will say at first I was put off by the accent as it felt a little goofy with some of emphasis you put on certain words in the beginning of the video (your english is great but from a native speaker perspective it just sounded funny) which is the only reason i can come up with as why you would get a downvote. It really is a dumb reason because your content is amazing and I really enjoyed this video but imo its just people that make a judgement in the first 30 seconds whether they will watch the whole thing or downvote because they found the way you talk as different and not off the actual content. Nothing you can really do about it and its great that you have a strong community around you. A few downvotes are not a big deal at all. Keep up the good work and I will be watching more of your videos and subscribing!
