The heavy stubber, also known as a heavy stub gun, is a projectile weapon similar in apperance and effect to a M2-era heavy machine gun.^[1][2] Firing heavy-calibre bullets able to stop a man dead in his tracks, their use is limited to large formations of unarmoured or lightly-armoured targets.^[2]

A heavy stubber is a fairly reliable weapon; 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. It is often seen as a pintle-mounted armament on many Imperial Guard vehicles and is used for anti-infantry and light anti-aircraft fire. Some regiments use heavy stubbers in heavy weapon teams.^{[Needs Citation]}
