i was wondering if anyone could clear this up for me, according to the rules in codex: blood angels "Each special ammunition type replaces the boltgun proflie" now does this apply only to bolters, or anything with a boltgun profile? bolt pistols and stormbolters have the same AP and strength as a bolter just with different ranges and stormbolter has a different firing type.

Belongs to YMDC, I think.

A Boltgun (e.g. Bolter) is a Boltgun, nothing else.

just the bolter, this belongs in YMDC btw

ok thanks for answering!

Bolt pistols and storm bolters are not boltguns and do not have he same profile. (as you noted - "with different ranges and stormbolter has a different firing type")

However, the bolter half of a combi-weapon is still a bolter and has the exact same profile.

Yep. Special ammunition ONLY applies to Boltguns. Not Stormbolters or Bolt Pistols or Heavy Bolters. Only Boltguns/ Bolters.
