The '''Stumble-Gun''' is a vehicle used by the forces of [[Chaos]], notably during the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]].{{Fn|1}}
==Description==The Stumble-Gun is a virtually spherical sphere of steel that is three metres in diametre, well armoured and heavily plated, capable of shrugging off a direct hit by a [[Vanquisher cannon]]. Yet the vehicle, consisting of a framework and wrapped in rusty wires, is not entirely solid, allowing the vehicle operator to be seen from the outside. The operator is seated in a gyro-stabilized cockpit, remaining upright as the Stumble-Gun rolls around. The cockpit is the most vulnerable part of the Stumble-Gun, allowing an enemy to precisely shoot the operator and bringing the vehicle to a halt. It can then be destroyed by a precise [[grenade]] throw.{{Fn|2}} Rolling and bouncing across the battlefield, the Stumble-Gun is propelled by some kind of inertial drive that makes a clanking, rattling noise. It is armed with [[Plasma Cannon|plasma-beam cannons]], randomly spitting out beams of destructive energy, capable of burning through the armour of a [[Leman Russ Vanquisher]]. Infantry is easily killed or crushed under its metal frame.{{Fn|2}} The Stumble-Gun can devastate entire [[Astra Militarum Company|infantry companies]].{{Fn|1}}
