Problem with Bolt Guns "they Suck" Issues with both players and GM's think it

By Abhoth, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

Has anyone thought what an Angelus would do at 100m in the hands of a character with 31 BS skill and add simply a Red-dot Sight. Let see what the numbers would...

+10 BS (Red-Dot Sight)
+20 BS (Full Turn Aim)
+10 BS (Accurate)
No Negative effect for range (Normal Range)
------
71 BS (Total)
Role a 31 and your results on a single hit:
5d10 X (-lower roll for Tearing) & 5 Pen
50% of Emperor Fury
22 Average Damage
Against me, I would still take 16 wounds at a total cost of 16 thrones.

Same person above using a Heavy Bolter at 20M...
+20 (Full Turn AIM)
+20 (Full Auto)
No Negative effect for range (Normal Range)
------
71 BS (Total)
Role a 31 and your results on a single hit:
3d10 X (-lower roll for Tearing) & 5 Pen
30% of Emperor Fury
11 Average Damage
Against me, I would still take 5 wounds. Now this would a total of 5 hits for a total of 25 wounds at a total cost of 160 Thrones.

A lot of this is just averages, but something to consider when going for that Bolt Gun if you want to take out a lot of people or Angelus if you looking to take out a single foe from a safe distance. Just imagine if the Angelus was firing at 20M and would get an extra +10 BS or the Heavy Bolter at 100M would get a -30 BS.
