===Bolt Carbine===

Used unto badassery by [[Celestial Lions|Ekene Dubaku]], the Bolt Carbine is a more compact version of the Bolter that is used primarily by the [[Primaris Marines|Primaris Space Marines]], specifically the Reivers and Black Templar Primaris Neophytes.

Whilst other patterns of Bolt Carbines are known to exist, the Primaris version is the only one with a model and by that merit, it is the most well-known. Typically, Bolt Carbines should be easier to wield than its full-sized bigger brother due to being obviously lighter, having simpler construction oriented towards reducing size for convenient carrying, and having a lower rate of fire as much as firepower in general as a trade-off. Without the multi-round burst ability common to many patterns of Bolter, a Bolt Carbine is incapable of the wholesale slaughter which characterizes the infamous volleys of Bolter fire. However, this simplistic design means that they misfire less frequently, and are also much easier to maintain. In the case of the Primaris Bolt Carbine, it features an extra vertical grip under the barrel for an even more accurate and stable handling. This model of Bolt Carbine is used by the aforementioned [[Reiver|Primaris Reiver Squads]], whose covert and guerilla nature means that they cannot afford hefting giant guns around without being seen in any swift manner. Thus, the compactness of the Bolt Carbine combined with its firepower is a necessity when things go south and/or get dirty. The Primaris Bolt Carbine also raises a question on whether, for its size, it counts as an Astartes Boltgun variant if wielded in the hands of a normal Space Marine; or whether the normal Astartes Boltguns count as Bolt Carbines for the Primaris lot, since they only differ from each other by type, which then may be attributed to the Reivers using different bolts.

Crunch wise, these things are basically Storm Bolters in both range and strength. However, being an Assault weapon, the Bolt Carbine has a [[Dakka|noticeable lack of firepower]] in contrast to the Storm Bolter. This may be offset for being more accurate on average than the Storm Bolter, and being more effective in close quarters – where Reivers engage and are most effective at.

The Shadowspear boxed set introduce several variants of Bolt Cabine: marksman of Infiltrators, occulus for Vanguard Lieutenant and Tacticool Captain's instigator.
