Description
Not really. The xm-25 shoots airburst grenades, while a bolter can rapid fire armor piercing explosive mini missiles.
That's quite a difference.
That and the bolter can most likely do more damage to an average human then that thing. Then again the average human or person will probably sustain a lot of injuries just trying to shoot a bolter without any help.
I guess with proper training it's ok, since IG officers can be equipped with bolters.
The bolters IG use are adapted for non astartes use. Godwyn pattern, which are for the Astartes, are the ones that would break a human.
Add to all that the Bolter is not made out of damn plastic.
It's like comparing a Flinttock to an M82. That's a tech gap centuries wide.
Wasnt the standart ammunition of bolters with massreactive explosion warheads?
Hey it's pretty damn close. All you really have to do is figure a way to upgrade the ordinance it fires.
