Description:The Imperium saw the need for a rifle that can counter the weaknesses of the rail-rifle design,the Firestorm was born and became popular among the shock troops of the Legion,however this introduced weaknesses that forced new tactics to be developed.The high fire rate made the weapon terrible for long range combat this usually is compensated by having a variety of weapons in each Legion.
The grenade launcher is powerful but requires users to get closer to enemy positions ultimately placing the user in greater danger.Today it still remains the one of the popular weapons for shock troopers in the Imperium.
