The heavy stubber is a primitive heavy machine gun that resembles the modern day M2HB .50 calibre machinegun used by the U.S. army and various other armed forces. It is often seen pintle-mounted on many Imperial Guard vehicles and is used for anti-infantry and light anti-aircraft fire. It is fairly reliable, cheap and easy to mass produce, and is nearly as effective as a Bolter, though it is far less sophisticated a weapon. It is often used on worlds without the technological base to make las weapons. When the Storm Bolter is not available, they are often pintle mounted onto vehicles as close defense weapons.
