[[imageImage:Stubgun.jpg|right|thumb|200px|An Imperial Stub Gun.{{Fn|2}}]]'''Stub guns''' or '''slug guns''' are primitive firearmsa name that refers to a wide variety of low-velocity, resembling 20th century high-calibre pistols. They resemble 3rd millennium revolvers or semi-automatic pistols. They were available in first and second edition 40K and mentioned in the ''Inquisitor'' table top gamefire solid bullets, usually one at a time. Being amongst the easiest firearms to manufacture, they are common on industrial Imperial worlds , where they are often called by local names, such as 'sluggers' 'smokers' or 'shooters'. These weapons are generally locally manufactured or jury-rigged from the parts of other weapons. Stub guns are commonly used by hive gangers, criminals or other citizens, feeling the need to defend themselves. Because of their availability they are often used by chaos cults. Infamous for their poor acuuracy and unreliability, stub guns are not usually considered a military weapon, but rarely , as well as [[Autopistol]]s, they are sometimes used by [[ImperialGuardsmen]] as a backup weapon, especially by the ones using unreliable melta- or plasma-weaponry.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}} ===Example===[[Image:Stub gun.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Example{{Fn|2}}]]This unknown pattern of stub gun displays a superiof finish to most and is beleived to manufactured on an Armoury World of [[Vraks]].{{Fn|2}}*Length: 26 cm*Barrel: 176 cm*Weight: 2.2 kg*Calibre: short 6.2 mm*Feed: 6 round magazine*Muzzle velocity: 220m/sec ==Variants==[[Image:Stub revolver.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Stub Revolver{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|5}}]][[Image:Stub automatic.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Stub Automatic{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|5}}]] military forces===Stub Revolver===The stub revolver carries fewer rounds than most pistols but is very reliable and easy to operate. As shells can be inserted individually, it is relatively easy to load in specialised rounds when needed.

Like the much larger [[heavy stubberAutopistol]]it is easy to produce and maintain, but less accurate at longer ranges.Just as common as the revolver variant, the stub automatic is less reliable, but allows for a greater rate of fire and clip capacity.{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|5}}
