The closest thing you will ever see to <span style='color:green;font-size:100%'>'''''enuff dakka'''''</span> in a single weapon that does not require a starship, an Imperator class titan, or a platform the size of Seattle rooted firmly into the ground, et cetera... in order to fire; even the Punisher Cannon stands in awe. Think of a Gatling gun, but instead of using wussy little Stubbers for its collection of barrels, it uses extra large Heavy Bolters. It comes in pairs as far as we know, so imagine two groups of five very rapidly rotating Heavy Bolters, all shitting out 10.00 caliber rocket propelled explosive rounds at God-Emperor knows how fast. To see why Bolters are so powerful, see the [[Bolter#How_It_Works|main section]] on Bolters. To see why Heavy Bolters are even more powerful, head over to its [[Bolter#Heavy_Bolter|section]]. To see the Bolter in action, see below at the rock bottom of the page.

Only seen on [[Titan]]s – typically the smaller ones like [[Warhound Scout Titan|Warhounds]] and [[Reaver Battle Titan|Reavers]] since they don't quite make a big enough boom to be worth placing on [[Warlord Battle Titan|Warlords]], [[Imperator Battle Titan|Imperators or Warmongers]] (though TWINNED variants can be put on Carapace Mounts) – a variant of the '''BEEEEIIINBLLEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHDDD''' called the [[Stormlord]], and one class of the [[Macharius Heavy Tank]]. Infantry and light vehicles suffer critical existential crisis the instant one of these pops up as they are pulped out of said existence by several hundreds of rockets per second. Now, while Gyrojets technically can only really fire six rounds per second (''360 rounds per minute'') at maximum per barrel due to the sheer amount of back-blasted gas that rocket fuel creates, Bolters cheat around this limit by using a conventional propellant charge to launch the bolt out of the gun first, and then firing up the rocket part once the bolt has exited the barrel.

It shits out so many bolts that it can be surprisingly effective against things like [[Predator Tank|Predators]] and [[Leman Russ Battle Tank|Leman Russes]] if you are smiled upon by Lady Luck and Admiral Awesome, provided that they are presenting their side armor; but do not expect it to do much against something like Land Raiders or Monoliths, though theoretically if you give it anti-armor rounds, it will make tank commanders shit bricks. The Imperium is considering loaning one of these to the [[Grey Knights]] and replace the regular barrels with Psycannon barrels for an amount of rape that would make [[Slaanesh]] weep tears of joy. To counter this, the forces of Chaos are pondering a version with two groups of six Reaper Autocannons arranged in a rotary cannon – twenty four short barreled Autocannons in all – for massive levels of automatic tank cannon induced rape. Another proposal was to replace the barrels themselves with Assault Cannons in order to achieve a Gatling-Gatling gun apotheosis and bring a new meaning to the term "'''bullet hell'''".

'''''[[meme|Yo dawg I heard you like]] assault cannons, so we put assault cannons in an assault cannon so you can rape things while you rape things.'''''

Possibly the single most awesome thing about this weapon is that when mounted on a [[Stormlord]] – a [[Shadowsword]] chassis with this Mega Bolter as its primary weapon – the tank can choose to fire twice at different targets if it didn't move, and that is forty AP3 shots that only need a 3+ to wound T4 models. Sooooooo... basically it can cause two entire Space Marine Tactical Squads to suffer critical existence failure in a single turn. The weapon's only weakness is its operators, guardsmen with BS3, which seems like a waste, doesn't it? Still, if you are a master converter, add some Space Marine crew for a small points increase, and watch as you opponent cries tears of horrified rage as 30 S6, AP3 shots tear into his precious, precious Battlesuits or whatever he has; and that is before adding the shots from the twin linked Heavy Bolters, Lascannons, and the shots fired by anyone riding in it. For maximum lulz, stuff as many Heavy Bolter carrying infantry as you can inside and take the two extra sponson mounts for a grand total of 13 more Heavy Bolter barrels raining death upon your foes. Also, with 8th Ed, now you can actually kill tanks by sheer number of wounds. Most armor has around 56 wounds, so in a few turns, those AP 3 shots will knock out Russes.
