Total 40k noob so please excuse minor heresy. Tau Rail rifles are the only good to come out of the Tau empire.
>Waifu leads me out of the workshop and parked outside is a fucking land raider. Painted black and white and a light bar went across the top.
>"Shotgun!" She shouts as she runs to the tank.
>The autopilot drove us to the police range, parked itself and opened the door.
>Half of the cops had their guns drawn, the other half had them on me. Take off helmet and then the laughter comes.
>"SHE ACTUALLY DID IT! CHIEF SAID GENNI WAS GONNA BUT SHE ACTUALLY DID!" Kim, the only Ushi-oni on the force shouted while holding her stomach.
>"Yeah, also got some new toys!" I exclaimed as I quickly jogged to the range, throwing my Beakie helmet back on. My steps shaking the ground as I ignored the hot range, set up a barrel and ran back.
>"GOING HOT!" I shouted into the vox as I racked the Bolter.
>When I pulled that trigger, I decided to treat my wife to the greatest pampering ever. Head pats while she is sitting in my lap, watching how its made and feeding her cool ranch Doritos.
>"BY THE EMPEROR!" I shouted as I felt the recoil push into my shoulder and watched the barrel's backside explode, the round embedded itself in the backstop and blew a two foot wide hole.
>"TRY FULL AUTO SWEETY!" Genni shouted as she loaded more Bolts into mags.
>I flicked the selector and began raining .75 caliber hell into the barrel/backstop.
>The mag quickly ran out, I lifted the bolter up, resting the stock against my bicep as I inspected it.
>"I'm gonna go wild pig hunting with this."
>"Wanna try the less than lethal rubber rounds?"
>"You mean less lethal."
>"I know what I said honey." She told me with a smug look. "These rounds cannot kill a human out side of repeated shots, since the Bolter is mechanically driven, it can fire ultra low velocity rubber slugs at the same rate as with regular bolts."
>"Neat!" Kim interjected, I'll go down range and you take some shots!"
>Did I forget to mention Kim was fucking crazy?
>Before I could say no, she ran down the hot range. "GO AHEAD!"
>I looked down at Genni and she just smiled. "Didn't say the Bolter's targeting systems tailor the amount of powder burnt based on the mass of the target."
>"Oh you evil little glitch." I said as sweetly as the vox would allow.
>I then lined up Kim's center of mass and fired.
>Never seen an Ushi go down in one shot unless it was from a 20mm anti material rifle with incendiary rounds. But Kim hit the ground clutching the hit stomach, before crawling back to the firing line.
>"Shotgun time!" Genni announced as she pointed to the shotgun she could not pick up. "6 gauge, action taken from the KS-23, 10 shot tube mag with normal full power AP rounds or 20 "low brass" soft lead slugs or 0000 buck.
>I racked the massive shotgun and inspected the chamber I grabbed a round and dropped it on the lifter, racking it close I swear I came a little. A glass on glass smooth action.
>I shouldered the shotgun and fired. I was rewarded by a hard kick and the remains of the poor barrel had a new gaping hole.
>After loading the tube and racking it, I nodded to my wife as she started throwing clays in the air with one of her contraptions. Soon one became two then three then five. Each clay exploding well before it reached its apex.
>"Okay, Rail Rifle time!" I shouted as I ran to the tactical range, grabbed a junker car used for classes and ran it down the distance range. 800 meters away, I dropped it and ran back at 20 miles an hour.
>As I got back to the fireline, my wife was tapping away at her laptop connected to the Rail Rifle, that funnily enough had a fresh coat of red paint on it.
>"Its ready to test." She announced meekly, no smug face as she played with the sensors she set up to measure the rifle's speed.
>"Its gonna work glitch." I told her before picking her up and hugging her gently.
>"Thank you honey." She told me before that smug smile began creeping up.
>I set her down, took the Rail Rifle in my grip and went prone.
>"Optics are zeroed at 1600, depress the trigger slightly to zero it on the target."
>I followed her directions and found the crosshair hardly even moved down and to the left. As I pulled the trigger I felt a massive kick to my shoulder, by I was able to keep my concentration on the junker's slagged engine sitting twenty or so feet away from the heap.
>"Speed?" I asked, praying that it did what it should.
>"MACH 6.5?" Genni shouted in surprise before jumping up and down in triumph.
