	Sometimes this creates a disparity with other parts of the setting, as an example, games and art with Hive Gangers make it clear that they can be better equipped and armed than Guardsmen, including varieties of ammunition (such as exploding bullets) and [[Rage\|fucking powered exoskeletons and thunder/power weapon equivalents]].

	Think of the Red Army from the Hollywood movie [[wikipedia:Enemy at the Gates\|Enemy at the Gates]]: Soviet Russia there had a fuckton of soldiers to draw from, but many were not issued spare ammunition or even rifles, and were expected to loot supplies off dead bodies. On an individual level the Germans had the obvious advantage, but send in enough cannon fodder to keep them pinned inside they city, then cut them off, and they eventually cracked.

On an individual level the Germans had the obvious advantage, but send in enough cannon fodder to keep them pinned inside they city, then cut them off, and they eventually cracked. Though this is mostly Hollywood and the real Red Army has enough equipment but not enough stuff to get it where it needed early on (the other Allies sent them trucks and fuel by the boatload) while the average German soldier had lots of kit at the start before rapidly running out as supply lines were stretched and the decision between sending more bullets or winter clothing started to kick in...

	But what the Imperium does have going for itself is the individual heroism of its protectors. The Guard bears countless heroes, without whom the Imperium would have fallen ages ago. Notable heroes of the Imperial Guard include: [[Ollanius Pius]], [[Straken]], [[Creed\|CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED]], [[Lord Solar Macharius]], [[Ciaphas Cain\|Ciaphas Cain HERO OF THE IMPERIUM]], [[Vance Motherfucking Stubbs]], [[Yarrick]], [[Sly Marbo\|SLY FUCKING MARBO]], [[Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt\| Colonel-Commissar fething Ibram Gaunt]] and countless others. These extraordinary men and women inspire the masses around them to truly heroic deeds, and through those deeds, ensure that the Imperium will never falter. Which is kind of weird since the setting is supposed to be one in which everyone is worthless and heroes have no impact.

	One of the biggest examples is the lasgun itself, it’s mere hundred meter range (three to four times shorter than most real life firefights) and non-existent armor-penetration makes it fundamentally useless on the battlefield. Literally. Aside from a few freak incidents, you will not be in range to shoot at anyone with it and if you are then your shots will generally do nothing. It’s only useful for mowing down unarmored civilians. Funnily enough, the vast bulk of the Guard spends nearly all its time suppressing rebels. What a fortuitous coincidence!

	In reality, though, the Red Army human wave tactics simply do not work. The Germans lost in Russia because Germany was fighting the rest of the world at the same time and even then Germany nearly defeated Russia and very much kicked the shit out of it. Which is probably why they shifted in the lore to focus on more precise weapons like missile artillery and to emphasize mechanized and combined arms warfare.
