===Ironhead Boltgun=== [[File:Ironhead_Boltgun.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Ironhead Boltgun]] A unique pattern of Boltgun only used by the [[Drill Master]]s and [[Drill-Kyn]]s of the [[Ironhead Squat Prospectors]] from [[Necromunda]]. The Ironhead Boltgun is a far cry from conventional Imperial Boltgun design or even Leagues of Votann Boltgun design. This is due to the fact that these Boltguns are naturally twin-linked. Whilst conventional wisdom goes that this should be put in the [[combi-weapon]] category, this Boltgun like its Storm bolter cousins, are not two weapons duct taped together, but a single weapon system that just so happens to have two barrels. What this means is that rather than firing each barrel separately in tandem via a hotwired single trigger mechanism, the gun fires two bolts at the same time, due to the fact that the entire firing mechanism being fused together. To compensate for the sudden increase in firepower, the Ironhead variant sports a huge drum-fed cylindrical magazine; holding a shit ton of ammunition at the expanse of weight. Fortunately for the Squats, they just so happen to be strong enough that such cumbersome weight is a non-issue. This design stays consistent with the rest of the Ironhead's weapons, even their ''pistols'' sport the same double-barrel, drum-fed magazine design. Why that's the case, we have no idea. Compensation much? In contrast to the [[Ironhead Heavy Stubber]], the Boltgun variant offers less [[dakka]] at the expanse of higher penetrative power and accuracy. This is all relative however, as you are still facing what amounts to a two-handed Storm Bolter. Compared to their relatives from the Leagues, the Ironhead ones offer inferior quality. But that could be due to more of the Ironhead's environmental predicament more than any form of degradation. These Boltguns came from the factories of Necromunda, not some high-tech Holdworld from the Leagues. So the Ironheads have to compensate this by making their own Storm Bolter equivelent.
