"In The Grim Darkness Of The Far Future There Is Only War" Warhammer 40k is set in a Universe where no one is safe from the horrors of space. The Imperium of man struggles to hold its borders or protect its citizens from the the alien, the mutant and the heretic. The human race is no longer a progressive race, most of the weapons and vehicles they use date back to the "Dark age of Technology" long before the days of the Emperor. Technological advance is at standstill and much has been forgotten, never to be recovered. In this dark millenia danger lurks behind every corner, and it is the holy duty of the Inquisition to guard and purge the threats within and without the Imperium. Take the role of Malachias Kane, Young Inquisitor under the command of Lord Inquisitor Dante, warring agains the notorious Chaos sorcerer Bathomeos. It is your mission to rendevouz with allies, and deliver the final piece to the plan to bring the Chaos scum under the Emperor's hammer.
Trallala! WIP SMG model.
-Slightly updated model.
Looks neat.
I'm guessing a ganger's weapon or something? Doesn't look like a weapon the Imperium would like...
stubber, if you dont have a bolter these are the next best thing
(in the tabletop these are the best to add to your tank commanders as imp guard)
That's a HEAVY stubber, you're thinking of.
Basically any cheap mass-produced slugthrower can count as a stubber. Usually used by gangers, recidivists, and PDF units.
I've never heard of a stubber before... God it's been too long I've read anything about 40K!
Firearms that use bullets are generally referred as stubbers in 40k universe. Simple as that.
Autogun uses bullets and it's not called a stubber
When something uses 'pistol calibres' its a stubber, when something uses 'rifle callibres' its a auto-. atleast that's how i understood it.
I'm inclined to agree with the other people. I'm pretty sure it is auto weapons.

From Lexicanum:
Auto Weapons
Main article: Auto Weapons
Auto Weapons fire solid slugs instead of laser beams. Among Imperial forces they are less commonly used than standard Las Weapons.
Slug-throwers
Main article: Slug-throwers
Slug-throwers is a term for a broad category of firearms which fire a solid shell or bullet, including auto weapons as well as the more primitive stub weapons.
So auto weapons and stubbers together form group of slug throwers, where auto weapons are more modernday/futuretech guns and stubbers refer to more primitive and simpler weapons.
This all in mind, these couple of slug-throwers would be referred to as stubbers as they are from the simpler and primitive side of the line and used by non imperial forces.
Case closed. :D
