Subject: Re:Why is it that Harker can fire his heavy bolter more effectively than a Space Marine on the move?
It's a combination of things. Primarily experience. He's been doing it for so long it's natural for him. I doubt a space marine is even allowed to shoot his heavy weapon on the move per the index astartes.....

Subject: Why is it that Harker can fire his heavy bolter more effectively than a Space Marine on the move?
The answer is simple: guardsmen are awesome, space marines are weak. Unfortunately GW can't represent this situation on the table, they had to give marines 4's in everything or nobody would play such a boring army. Fluff-wise the average guardsman is a far more dangerous opponent than a screaming idiot with a chainsword, so it's only right that a hero of the Catachans (who are superior to the average guardsman) should be able to do things no mere marine could even dream of. You should just be glad that GW has never released any Krieg characters and really made marines cry.
PS: The Horus Heresy started because the Emperor wouldn't let the primarchs join the Death Korps. The loyalists felt that they should accept their inferiority with dignity and help in whatever limited capacity they could, while Horus was outraged that the Emperor didn't love him enough and swore that if he couldn't be a guardsman then nobody could and the galaxy would burn.
There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.
