Solid Slug Weapons are devices which launch a solid piece of metal or other material at an enemy, rather than some form of energy discharge. They usually have their origins far in the history of the Imperium, perhaps even before it, and are as solid and effective now as they were then. They come in a wide range and forms from high strength to high rate of fire to a basic combat weapon.
