Boltguns usable by mere "mortals" come in various patterns, though they still follow the same basic design philosophy. Despite the fact that they pale in comparison to their larger cousins, their power is still such that they can easily cut a man in two. Boltguns meant for the [[Imperial Guard]] are supplied by the [[Departmento Munitorum]].{{Fn|10d}} {{Fn|6}}
====Angelus Bolt Carbine====
The '''Angelus Bolt Carbine''' is secretly produced by the [[Fane of Fykos]] on [[Gunmetal]] and makes use of illegal bolt rounds originally meant for use by Space Marines. The fanes on Gunmetal produce, under strict surveillance and security measures, the casings and primary propulsion charges which go into making these powerful bolt rounds. Despite these precautions though , some of these shells "disappear" and are sold to owners of the aforementioned carbine; they are known as "blind" shells because they lack the official marks of approval normally stamped on Astartes bolt shells. Only the most exquisite materials are used for this carbine but despite its expense the sheer size of the bolt rounds mean only three can be loaded into the magazine, housed within the carbine's lacquered stock, and it can only fire in single-shot mode. Due to the highly illegal nature of these weapons (and its ammunition) only very wealthy and trusted clients get the opportunity to obtain one, amongst them the richest bounty hunters and most famous beast-slayers of the [[Calixis Sector]].{{Fn|10a}}
====Locke patternPattern====
The '''Locke-pattern''' is a variant of an old [[Adeptus Arbites]] design and the most common boltgun design found in the [[Koronus Expanse]].{{Fn|20}}

====Perinetus patternPattern====
The '''Perinetus Pattern "Solo" Mark II''' is considered to be [[Heresy|heretical]] by some members of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. Its workings are much less sophisticated compared to other boltguns and it can only be operated in single-shot mode. Its lack of an automatic fire mode is made up for by its somewhat longer range, better accuracy and higher reliability of its mechanism. These features make it popular with [[PDF]] and [[recidivist|rebels]] alike.{{Fn|21}}
====Orlock Boltgun====
Used by [[House Orlock]] on [[Necromunda (Planet)|Necromunda]]. Drum-fed and uses customized customised road crew casings.{{Fn|73}}

====Death Bringer====
A highly modifiable boltgun pattern, popular amongst the [[ganger]]s and [[mercenary|hired gun]]s of [[Necromunda (Planet)|Necromunda]]. Associated with the ganger's gangers of [[House Goliath]].{{Fn|91}}
