The '''heavy stubber''', also known as a '''heavy stub gun''', is a [[projectile weapon]] similar in appearance and effect to a [[M2]]-era heavy machine gun, firing large-calibre bullets able to stop a man dead in his tracks.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} The heavy stubber is inferior to the [[Heavy Bolter]] in terms of penetration, being defeated by anything heavier than [[Flak armour]], but compensates with sheer rate of fire, making it an ideal weapon for use against hordes of lightly-armoured infantry and vehicles.{{Fn|4}} The heavy stubber is also cheap and easy to mass produce and can be built on many low-tech worlds which might not otherwise be able to construct [[laser weapon]]s.{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|5}} The weight and recoil of many patterns of heavy stubbers require that they be fired from the prone position with a bipod or tripod, or require a [[pintle weapon|pintle mount]] on an armoured vehicle.{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|4}} Others are more man-portable, and even heavier patterns can be wielded by a single trooper through the use of bracing harnesses or suspensors.{{Fn|5}}{{Fn|6}}
