Quadruple Bolter
Quadruple Bolters are Space Marine Terminator Bolters with four barrels that can fire faster than a Storm Bolter.[1a]

Description
These complex weapons deliver a devastating hail of fire that can often tear a genestealer apart in a single volley. This can use up its ammo rapidly and the weapon's fast feed, which is used to reload the Bolter's four barrels, is often prone to jamming. Unlike a Storm Bolter, though, Quadruple Bolters are not easily unjammed and will require the battle to be finished before work can begin to make them operational again. It is one of several esoteric creations[1a] of the Darting Blades Chapter's Chief Armourer[1d] Queue[1b][1d] and has several different models.[1c] It is also noted that further experimentation with the quadruple bolter later led to the creation of the Assault Cannon.[1b] While they are still used by Space Marines, Queue's creations are considered to be obsolete due to the Imperium having access to more efficient and modern designs.[1a]
