===Hurricane Bolter=== [[File:IroncladHurricaneBolterProfile.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Hurricane Bolter]] Often times, one Bolter is just not enough. There are so many enemies of Mankind out there and only so few automatic rocket launchers. What if a Space Marine is confronted by a few hundred Orks with but a one Bolter? Sure, he might be able to kill them if he is badass enough, but not as quickly and efficient as the Imperium wants the process to be. Slacking with killing the enemies of Mankind is heresy, so what do you do when one Bolter proves to be lacking? Well, adding another five Bolters and having them all fire at once should do the trick. Yes, you read that right. Not so much of a separate kind and more of a six-linked Bolter, but loyal to the name, this weapon fires out a hurricane of self-propelled rockets from an array of six barrels. The Hurricane Bolter is essentially six Bolters, nothing complex at all. It has to be six though. Since carrying six Bolters at once is asking too much even for a Space Marine, Hurricane Bolters are exclusively vehicle mounts. Usually, the array of Bolters is arranged a columns of two and rows of three. Of course, exceptions range from separating them entirely into two groups of three, to outright spreading them out into a single row entirely. The usual composition can be seen mounted on [[Dreadnought#Dreadnought Variants|Ironclad Dreadnoughts]], [[Land Raider#Variants_and_Such|Crusader Pattern Land Raiders]], and [[Stormraven|Stormraven Gunships]]. The variant mounted on [[Centurion Squad|Centurion warsuits]] and the similarly arranged one on the [[Dawneagle Jetbike]] retain the original dimensions, while the [[Corvus Blackstar]] and the [[Nephilim_Jetfighter#Dark_Talon|Dark Talon]] ignores the 2Γ3 pattern entirely for aerodynamics sake. Since it is just six Bolters in one package anyway, imagine a Hurricane Bolter dismounting its Bolters to six unarmed Astartes in the heat of battle. The notion is rather unlikely, however, since Hurricane Bolters mounted on some other vehicles are more integrated than what you would find by a sponson, suggesting that the Bolters really are hardwired. Naturally, the [[Orks]] love this. <span style='color:green;font-size:100%'>(''Oy, look 'ere, boyz!
