The '''Storm Bolter''' is a compact, double-barreled version of the [[Boltgun]]. Resembling two boltguns attached side by side, the storm bolter is capable of withering fire without hindering maneuverability, granting the wielder enormous individual firepower. Storm bolters are popular with [[Space Marine]] forces, specifically in the hands of [[Terminator]]s and as infantry defense on [[Rhino]]s.{{citethis}}
Outside of the [[Space Marine]]s and [[Adepta Sororitas]], storm bolters are utilized by few elite [[Imperial]] forces.{{Fn|2}} The high-velocity bolts fired by an Astartes Storm Bolter can easily penetrate through eight inches of [[plasteel]].{{Fn|9}} Storm bolters are often adorned with glyphs and [[purity seal]]s that point out their ancient origin.{{Fn|1}}
