The las-gun does have a 100shot power-clip magazine. the bolter, has 24 bolts in it.

the lasgun may have 100 flashes of its torch, but the 20 rounds which a boltgun kicks out can decimate several targets at once due to its secondary split-second-before-impact charge.

Yeah, the armor piercing/high explosive, heat and moisture sensors make it a nasty bolt!

Lasgun will cauterize the wound.

ohoh... i see a SM hate reaction coming up... and for my own thoughst... SM...all good and well... but true heros are those that battle odds so high that tackling them turns out a loss most of the time... a SM is way too winning to be considred a hero for my liking.... whereas a guardsman that still fights regardless the odds...that is heroism... so a SM gun is less because it can do more... and an IG torchligh is better because it is essential gakky... strange logic... but the more you think about it you WANT to JOIN MY point of view! period!

Hey, I only mentioned Bolters, Guardsmen have access to them too lols...

but in that argument Vik, 10 space marines make planetfall, and can bring an entire world back into the imperial fold, but it takes countless guardsmens lives to do the same task. Thats not heroism, thats suicide

well that depends on ones point of view really... and although it was often quoted from various books and so on i see that that gimme ten SM or failing that...schtick is just cheap advertisment... really... no supes-soldier will be that good...ever... which puts me off if someone insists in the fluff that it is that way...

Well, in the game Dark Heresy, you can have a choice of weapons, bullets and las gun packs are cheap, i throne for a clip of 20-30 bullets for a stubber, or a las gun clip.

1 single bolt is 16thrones.

Theres more to warfare than strength in numbers. But back to Viks point... there is nothing heroic about countless guardsmen commiting wholesale suicide

Well you also take into consideration that marines have been in countless battles and scenarions so they have a plan for everything under the sun plus there is subversion tatics too.

a gaurdsman gets about a month of training a little book and a flashlight then sent into horrible conditions to hopefully clog the gun of the enemy so the other guardsman can save the planet or some thing like that.

THe best example of a guardsmans life is a short novel called 15 hours.cant remember for the life of me who done it but it is a good read.

The reason the IG are considered heroic is because they are trying to do a job with mediocre equipment and weapons, and are just like you and me.

SM have all the perks, Powered Armor, Killer vehicles and weapons, and the enhanced physiques and psycho-indoctrination

Well, the only thing I can say about that then Vik is, why judge a sci-fi story by what is real? not everything can, and indeed should be quantified by the reality that we think we know

No...Childe is right, the rest of us are wrong. The Guard are pointless.
Let's call GW right now and explain to them, that ONLY the fluff Childe has read is to be considered "40K CANON"- Everything else that falls outside of his subjective experience is to be written out of history IMMEDIATELY just like the Squats.
