Bereft of Boltguns

So, riddle me this folks. If humanity has the technology to make a gyrojet assault rifle, and they have the technology to equip large, large, numbers of space marines with them (one space marine to a planet my ass) and then they also have the technology to make laserbeam guns, which I imagine is only moderately easier, I mean, fuckers shoot lasers. and somehow the lasgun, is more rugged? easier to manufacture, and the Space Marines, who's whole thing is autonomous operation, get the gun that needs resupplying in the form of ammo? I mean, a lasgun can be recharged, need more ammo? go and get it recharged, or get a new clip, while the old one is "recycled". I mean, how hard is it to find the logic in all this? but that's not what this rant is about, its about, me wanting boltgun equipped guardsmen. The WORST gun in the game, hands down, the lasgun. Even the orks, the fucking orks, are better at shooting than a guardsmen, simply because his gun is better. ORKS!!!

So, all we need, is a better gun option. I mean, orks come in three flavors (Gretchin, shoota, and slugga choppa), space marines come in three flavors (scouts, tacs, and sternguard (sternguard count, cuz they can indeed score with the right army)), and tyrannid come in three flavors with their termaguants, hormaguants, and guants. WHY is it that each of those units can be differently kit, while the guard, we get three flavors too, but they are all the same thing. Conscript, guardsman, veteran. And the conscripts are overpriced, and the veterans aren't different enough to TRULY matter. If I could give my veterans hotshot lasguns, or boltguns, or ANYTHING but a lasgun (shotguns are UP too >:I ) I would. But I cannot. SO :(

One thing we can do, is confuse our enemies with how we are all the same. But I've written an article on that so hit it up here
