The '''heavy stubber''', also known as a '''heavy stub gun''', is a [[projectile weapon]] similar in apperance and effect to a [[M2|twentieth century]] heavy machine gun.<sup>1,2</sup> 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.<sup>2</sup>
A heavy stubber is 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|las weapons]]. When the [[storm bolter]] is not available, they are often [[pintle weapons|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.
