Each weapon is finely crafted, and sized for the Marine's larger size. The recoil of the weapon makes it difficult for a normal person to use. To prevent these fine weapons from being used by any enemies that happen to kill one of these mighty warriors, the weapons are keyed to the DNA of the user. The standard Bolt Gun is the Godwyn pattern which uses a 30 round sickle round, and has a mounting for a targeting system or scope, with integrated laser targeter, and a 3 round burst setting. A mount under the barrel for combat blades is available.Bolt Gun (PL6 Personal Firearms Proficiency)Damage: 2d12+4 + 2d6Critical: 20Damage Type: balllistic +fireRange Increment: 90 ftRate of Fire: S,ASize: LargeWeight: 15 lbAmmo: 30 boxPurchase DC: 25 Mil (+3)Notes: Masterworked, +1 attack roll, Digital Ammo Counter, DNA Lock, Weapon Link, target sight, 3 round burst setting, anyone with burst fire feat can use 3 rounds instead of the normal 5, under barrel mount for combat blades, armour piercing (+1 attack against targets with armour, or natural armour +1 or greater. Against targets without armour suffers -1 damage).Medium sized creatures attempting to use the Bolt Gun suffer a -1 to attack rolls due to the weapon being sized for the larger hands of the Space Marines. Anyone without exceptional strength, or a cybernetic arm, with strength rated at least 18, suffers -2 on any attacks after the first attack in a round, and suffers half the damage rolled in subdual damage on any attack made with the Bolt Gun. So a normal person, with Strength 18 will suffer half damage in subdual damage each time he fires the weapon, and his second attack suffers -2 to attack roll. While a person with a cybernetic limb of Strength 18, doesn't suffer the subdual damage or the attack penalty to his second attack due to the shock absorbers and gyros in the arm to keep it steady. Ammunition: Box of 50 .75 Bolts rounds has a PDC 12.DNA Lock - A sensor in the handle reads the DNA of the user, if it does not match the assigned user, the weapon locks and will not fire. Changing the assigned user requires the user, or authorized mechanic, a Computer Use check DC 20 and the new assigned person. An attempt to forcibly change the assigned user, or disable the device requires a Computer Use check DC 27.Weapon Link - The weapon links to the HUD and Black Carapace of the Space marine, allowing the marine to 'sense' the weapon, know how many rounds are left, know if the barrel is too hot, if there is a jam and where, and use any attached scopes or other equipment without looking at it. Using scopes without looking through the scope only provides half bonuses. Sternguard PatternThe Sternguard patter Bolt gun is designed with a special ammo box and selector that allows it to switch between up to 3 different types of ammunition, however the box only holds 24 rounds, with up to 8 rounds of 3 different types of ammunition, comes with shoulder-sling strap.
