	There is [[Skub\|significant debate]] over the actual power of Auto and Stub weapons, with the "higher power" team citing higher tech level and advanced materials, and "modern power" team citing no mention of any kind of recoil compensation (limiting power) and less innovative designs. Modernist evidence implies some or even most autoguns may actually be less advanced than modern firearms. After all, 21st century cannon rounds are definitely more advanced than the average autogun ~~(ah yes, our ''cannons'' are stronger than their ''small arms'' so clearly they're less advanced than our small arms)~~, and autoguns are meant to be built on all sorts of backwater worlds. Regardless, it is more than likely that both sides are right, since strictly speaking an Imperial autogun is generally any type of automatic rifle, firing solid slugs. As such, there are great many models and patterns in existence, different in both internal mechanics of their action and the ammunition they use. While some autoguns are just a backwater-colony's locally-designed crude weapons, using black-powder-filled cartridges and prone to jamming, other autoguns may be high-tech products of Toasterfucker factories, firing hypervelocity discarding-sabot needle-bullets, capable of easily punching through carapace armour. This of course ignores the fact that the "auto" in the name is specifically because it has automatic fire capability. The debate rages on, with the question being what is considered average or typical for the weapon, with both sides for the most part aware that all types exist.

	There is also a third possibility, which involves the Dark Age of Technology. It's conceivable that "Stubber" is a derogatory term for old gunpowder weaponry made before the Dark Age, and "autogun" was a Dark Age classification created to delineate the super-futuristic projectile weapons of the then-modern era from Stub Guns. The difference was only significant during the Dark Age of Technology, when "autogun" meant something more akin to a [[Eclipse Phase\|Smart Assault Rifle]] and a Stub Gun meant an M1 Garand. But that's not a great theory since the original autoguns were made well before the Dark Age of Technology, sometime early in our current millennium. Bizarre high-calibre low-velocity weapons firing brass bullets.		There is also a third possibility, which involves the Dark Age of Technology.

	The ''big'' reason that Lasguns are favored over Autoguns is the first one noted above- logistics. Despite this, the Autogun still has a place because there are two things the Autogun has that the Lasgun doesn't. The first is the wide variety of different ammunition types that Autoguns can utilize. These include but are not limited to Incendiary, Armor-Piercing, and Flechette rounds; even High-Explosive rounds. This means that while the Lasgun is preferred for fighting wars on a galactic scale, certain organizations and individual operators may prefer the Autogun as a flexible ''tactical'' weapon. The other thing an Autogun can do that a lasgun can't is punch through light cover. A laser will react with things like foliage or even smoke and fog between it and the target, which quickly reduces its effectiveness. A physical bullet, on the other hand, will just punch straight through. This is important in real life combat and 40K flak armor (of all types and species) is not really meant to take direct hits from things like this but to deal with glancing hits, shrapnel, debris, deflected projectiles, etc. Leaving a tactical vulnerability that autoguns can take advantage of.

	Ultimately, the sheer logistical advantage of not needing to ship massive quantities of cartridges everywhere secured the Lasgun's place as the Imperium's primary infantry weapon. However, in spite of the ammunition problem the Autogun still sees use throughout the Imperium (particularly among PDF forces, who only have to worry about logistics on their own planet). Although the Autogun has been sidelined by the Lasgun in official service, it remains in development. Realistically, though, real life soldiers rarely use much of their ammunition. It wouldn't be a problem to keep them supplied. The final word for the Imperium is probably that Guardsmen having a several times higher kill-death ratio thanks to autogun penetration than lasguns wouldn't matter to the Imperium because the Imperium would see the additional dead Guardsmen from using lasguns as completely irrelevant to the ~~reduced~~ logistical costs of supplying ammunition. Either way, the Guard would win, that this comes at the cost of many more dead Guardsmen just doesn't matter.

However even terajoules is arguable still low.

That, to be clear, is not nothing, 1/4th of a city destroyed is still devastating but it's still a bit off considering the destruction these weapons are said to inflict. Second option is tha GW forgot that the term "quadrillion" is a thing and is using "tetrajoule" to mean 1 000 000 000 000 000 joules (as the word "billion" comes from the latin word for two, "trillion" for the latin word for three and so on.). This gives a result of 15 quadrillion joules in a broadside, which is 15 trillion times as powerful as the world's largest laser and '''over three and a half megatons''' of energy. Much better.

Regardless, it is more than likely that both sides are right, since strictly speaking an Imperial autogun is generally any type of automatic rifle, firing solid slugs. As such, there are great many models and patterns in existence, different in both internal mechanics of their action and the ammunition they use. While some autoguns are just a backwater-colony's locally-designed crude weapons, using black-powder-filled cartridges and prone to jamming, other autoguns may be high-tech products of Toasterfucker factories, firing hypervelocity discarding-sabot needle-bullets, capable of easily punching through carapace armour. The debate rages on, with the question being what is considered average or typical for the weapon, with both sides for the most part aware that all types exist.		There is [[Skub\|significant debate]] over the actual power of Auto and Stub weapons, with the "higher power" team citing higher tech level and advanced materials, and "modern power" team citing no mention of any kind of recoil compensation (limiting power) and less innovative designs. Modernist evidence implies some or even most autoguns may actually be less advanced than modern firearms. After all, 21st century cannon rounds are definitely more advanced than the average autogun, and autoguns are meant to be built on all sorts of backwater worlds.
