I know its something to do with the deuterium core to act in replacement to gun powder…speeding the shell at hyper velocities.

The mass reactive shells act as mini grenades after impacting higher density objects (walls, armor, flesh).

And its double stack magazine…bolters are much bigger than you think and designed to be fired by Genetically engineered super soldiers (aka. The Adeptus Astartes-”Space Marines”).

This is also a completely fictional but overly cool weapon.

If it was real I think it would be closer to something like this…

Looks like its a gun made of chocolate.

It’s all about the black hole technology in the magazine. THAT’S why it’s so small.

I am going to assume, based on magazine width, that the mag is single-stack. At .75 caliber (for the uninitiated, caliber = diameter of the round as measured in 100ths of an inch), that magazine has to be almost two feet long. Good job, Games Workshop >.>

Yeah, Deuterium and Tritium fuse to make helium and lots of energy.. Hence the hydrogen in Hydrogen bomb…

OK 40K fans.. is it supposed to be Deuterium or Uranium… Also, Deuterium is not radioactive, so how could it be depleted? Uranium on the other hand…

depleted deuterium? i'm sorry, but that's what people call 'hydrogen'. i know this as from a game, but that's just beyond retarded.
