{{Weapon Series}}
The '''bolt weapon''' is the characteristic [[Imperial]] weapon type of used most famously by the [[Space Marine]]s and [[Adepta Sororitas]]. They are also used in more limited numbers throughout the [[Imperium]]'s armed forces, and are popular with its enemies, particularly [[Ork]]s.{{Fn|2}} Bolt weapons are purposefully unsubtle weapons, with very obvious and bloody effects.
Some models are designed specifically for normal humans which include smaller grips and lighter construction, though these variations are rarely as finely fashioned as Space Marine weapons. Many such weapons are ancient heirlooms and relics passed down through a family's generations. Cheap bolt weapon models can be found on black markets and backwater planets, but will often breakdown quickly because of the specialised nature of their ammunition.{{Fn|1}}
