Ogryn ripper gun
The Ogryn ripper gun is a large, brutal, and simple weapon designed for use by Imperial Guard Ogryns.[1]
It is a heavy automatic shotgun, built as simply and solidly as possible in order to survive being used by the Ogryns who use it as much as a club as a firearm. It can fire either a heavy shell or a hail of shot. By design, the ripper gun does not have a long range, because the Ogryn's instincts are for close combat. It features a burst limiter to prevent the Orgyn from firing the entire magazine in one pull of the trigger.[2]

Known Patterns
Foe-Rend
Foe-Rend Mk II: Heavy Automatic Shotgun built as simply and solidly as possible because most Ogryns in the field forget about shooting, instead using whatever they have to hand as improvised melee weapons.[3]
Foe-Rend Mk V: A rare pattern of the Ripper Gun, the Foe-Rend Mk V was an attempt to use a tightly focussed scatter shell to improve the Ogryn's aim at long range. Due to Ogryns propensity for charging wildly into combat, the experiment was quickly abandoned.[3]
Foe-Rend Mk VI: Compensating for the Ogryn's lack of focus, this ripper gun variant combines a wide scattershot within semi-auto burst mode, causing very loud, very messy carnage at close range.
