As they didn't want to be left behind, the [[Adeptus Mechanicus|Mechanicum]] decides to join the Bolter hype train with its very own version. In order to keep up with the [[steampunk]] aesthetics, nothing screams that out better than the Maxim machine gun.

The Maxima Bolter is a Boltgun with a very satisfactory firepower that leaves a lot to be desired in the areas of weight and recoil, as well as a pitiful range comparable to the Bolt Pistol. Assuming that the reader knows what a Maxim gun is, then as the name implies, it is the machine gun version of the average Bolter deployed by Myrmidon Secutors by the time of the Horus Heresy. By merit of similar stat lines, one may consider the Maxima Bolter as a precursor to the Storm Bolter of the present. Do note, however, that the Maxima Bolter is really big. Myrmidon Tech-priests stand taller than Astartes in Terminator Armour, and they mount these two bad boys on their shoulders, leaving their hands free for their main weaponry. Them cogboys don't mess around. If the Mechanicus were nice enough to share ('''''Fat chance'''''), Space Marine Terminators would have little need for Storm Bolters with these on their shoulderplates. They would have their hands free – Terminators with Thunder Hammer × Storm Shield or Lightening Claw combos would not have to give up their ranged capabilities.

For those of you who have already noticed the physical similarities, that is exactly what happened as [[Games Workshop]] in their usually laziness, decided to make a thinly veiled allusion to the Maxim gun. [[Original character, do not steal|Heck, it even looks like one. Talk about a lack of subtlety]]. Adding an A at the end does nothing to stop this notion either. Anyone who plays Horus Heresy is rich enough to have an internet connection to figure this out.
