Autocannon is a 30 mil.
Heavy Stubbers are 50 cals.
Melta barrels are actually shaped like what flechete would be shot out of.
The Chimera is actually an M113.
What can you find?
Also, flechete are great for dealing with those pesky hordes of orks or tyranids.

Autocannons are more of a rapid firing recoiless rifle if the model has anything to go by.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.
