:::Who knows. Fictional technology is, well, fictional ;) And novels etc are written to entertain, not to bore readers with techical details ;) --[[User:Inquisitor S.|Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum]] ([[User talk:Inquisitor S.|talk]]) 01:56, 22 April 2018 (MDT)
::From the OW core book: *Produced in a multitude of different styles and patterns, thelasgun can be found on almost every world of the Imperium. The M36 ::pattern is one of the most ubiquitous patterns.*
::It seems to me that it's just a way to distinguish it from the fancier variants and avoid confusion in the armory (in DH you had lasgun(category of weapons), lasgun (specific weapon with a statline, and then several things like drusus-pattern lasgun..., not too neat from a game design standpoint). In OW the M36 is the "regular" lasgun, to the point that nobody uses other patterns. And the way it's worded makes me think it's (in universe) an improvement/retrofit to the general lasgun design that recieved a name in order to avoid confusion and potentially damaging errors (like the french berthiers marked with a N or the british enfields with a *), not a specific model.
::So it's definitely a placeholder, and if it's supposed to mean something in universe, it's that every lasgun outside of the really exotic ones is a M36.-[[User:Orsay|Orsay]] ([[User talk:Orsay|talk]]) 08:41, 5 March 2019 (MST)
