I'm thinking Liquifier. I can see it now...

Me: "a Liquifier."

Me: "sometimes it just kinda tickles people..."

The lasgun. Unlimited ammunition. Just leave it out in the sun or under a lamp. You've got a gun!

Other than that, a plasma cannon. Sure, there's a chance to blow myself off, but it's a plasma cannon

Absolutely, the lasgun. It's sturdy, and reliable... and requires not a whole lot of training, nor any additional ammunition.

Then I would take a Bolt Gun and a Las Gun. I think that the Las Gun would be cool to shoot and the semi infinite amount of ammo would be cool too. A bolt gun would also be awsome because its a gun that shoots 20mm rockets!! The downside of course would be the fact that ammo would be limited/expensive (were it buyable of course) and it would kick like a mule.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
A thought just occured to me, why would a bolt gun have heavy recoil? I know that they are supposed to have a starter charge to get the round out of a rifled barrel but it can't be that heavy if its just meant to get it out the barrel, the rocket would be what builds up all the momentum right?

Because its starter charge needs it to be lethal enough to kill at point blank range (you don't honestly think that boltguns have a minimum effective range like most rockets? The gun's minimal explosive charge by itself wouldn't get through flak armor, which as its name suggests is designed to resist explosions). So you're basically firing a .75 caliber (19.5 mm) gun which has no recoil reducing features as its original design was meant for powered armor which didn't need the features.


Me, I'd go with a lascarbine with adjustable stock and extra grip (yes, such things exist in 40k). Cheap, easy to use, easy to maintain, and able to be used properly in CQC while still being superbly accurate for long ranged fire.

Is tau pulse weaponry as safe as las weaponry? If so, I'd prefer a pulse rifle.

Well as much as I'd like to have a lascannon or plasma gun, they're not very practical, because I only have a 6+ armor save.

I'd probably take a pulse carbine. It's light, portable and I dont have to sacrifice mobility for power.

Any flamer. A weapon so simplistic in its operation, Orks can fire it accurately. With this, accuracy is optional.

That or the Stalker Pattern Boltgun. From no aiming required to aiming as a necessity.

And if you can consider this choice, a Sentinel with any weapon that I probably wouldn't even use often. Just striding around in my walker is badass enough for me.
