Give me one reason not to build a real life bolter.

There are none. Do it faggot.

your wrists

What you build won't be a bolter or anything close to it really, it'll just ("just") be a semi auto shotgun with a removable box magazine. For a bolter you'll need to create some .75 cal APHE gyrojet-with-expeller-charge ammo first.
Connor Martinez
Recoil. That, and gyrojet rounds are fucking expensive.
Levi Gray
You have to go back to your containment zone

Do you need someone to explain physics to you?
Asher Price

Isaiah Mitchell
WH40k isn't exactly a good reference for physics friendo. When in doubt, blame C.S. Goto and Matt Ward.
Nathan Hall
"no"
dumbass

Brody Bailey
You can, but if you're using a traditional shotgun shell, you're either gonna have to:
>remove the powder and manufacture your own rocket slugs (see en.wikipedia.org
>essentially make the shotgun shell a base bleed which doesn't have a whole lot of power behind it (see en.wikipedia.org
Josiah Turner
If you didn't know, gyrojets are not zero recoil weapons. While some venting does occur, the projectile is still inside a pressure vessel and accelerating in relation to the weapon, imparting acceleration to the weapon. Go watch some slowmotion of gyrojets firing.
Mason Russell
Base bleed's not the same as a rocket shell. It's not meant to propel the round forward, but just to improve the aerodynamics, reducing drag by filling the low pressure area behind the flat-tailed shell with gas. A true rocket is meant to accelerate, by throwing the generated gas out at high speed through a nozzle.

>is still inside a pressure vessel
actually gyrojet is near recoil-less except that stupid hammer-delay-reload mechanism which causes it to jerk.
Zachary Flores
the heavier the gun the less recoil you have. big metal bricks have no recoil.
Zachary Reyes
Jeremiah Long
Not really, once there is significant space in the barrel the expanding gasses kinda stack up at the vents, causeing a pressure spike in the barrel, it's more pronounced on rifles but it's still there.
Sebastian Lewis
It's got about as much recoil as a selfoading .22 so still negligable.
Ethan Edwards
the vents are shaped to more than mitigate that minuscule force you are talking about think of them as a mega compensator.
Justin Evans
not even that again gyrojet guns jerk not because of the gas or the projectile leaving they jerk because of the stupid heavy hammer mechanism. make it electric ignition and friction delayed and you got the least recoil a gun ever had.
Brody Baker
Friction delayed?
Landon Ramirez
yeah the gyrojet round is delayed to give it more persistent performance. in the original design the hammer that hit the nose delayed it with it's mass. you can instead use friction delay to arrest the projectile. well the reason for this was uneven initial ignition i guess more precise propellant burn rate and ignition mechanism could just use the projectiles mass as delay.
Leo Hall
Can you ditch the stock without breaking your wrists?

>recoil

Ayden Roberts
Because WH40K is fucking retarded
Sebastian Green
is that a handgun?
Brandon Green
You can take the stock off the SBV, but I'm not sure it's a good idea...
Joseph Edwards
...or the stock was folded to the other side and I'm a moron.
Parker Reyes
>Base bleed's not the same as a rocket shell
That's what I meant. It has almost no thrust what so ever, but it does reduce a lot of the drag. However, as demonstrated with youtube.com
Nathaniel Diaz
i mean according to ATF, is that considered a SBS or a handgun if you remove the stock completely?
Jonathan White
Quite possibly an AOW.
Jayden Edwards
That's my guess, smoothbore handguns are a no-no so unless the origin is rifled it would probably need to remain a "firearm" (which has oal requirements) or an AOW.
