It could differentiate between the starting and Power Sword.
SourceLike other Space Marine weaponry, Astartes Bolters are designed to be handled by their superhuman physique. The weight of each Godwyn Pattern Bolter means that most normal humans cannot handle the weapon comfortably without the aid of a supporting brace and even the weapon's handgrips are too large for a mortal to grasp without assistance. However, even if a mortal were to fire the Bolter, the resulting recoil would most likely rip his or her arm from its socket. It is illegal within the Imperium for a non-Astartes to wield an Astartes Bolter, which is one reason why the weapons are genetically coded so that only a Space Marine can fire them. An Imperial citizen caught in unauthorised possession of a Bolter or even of just a bolt can be harshly sentenced by the Adeptus Arbites. However, some Bolter patterns like the Godwyn-De'az or Locke patterns are specifically built to be wielded by unaugmented humans, and the weapon is sometimes favoured by officers of the Imperial Guard and members of the Adeptus Arbites who require a weapon with more stopping power.

"Boom"if they are lucky enough to be able to acquire the rare Bolt Pistol sized for normal human hands. It is likely that Bolt Pistols used by the Imperial Guard are smaller than the Astartes Mark III, based upon the observations of the Inquisitor Thaddeus."

Summarize from above: Illegal to posses a bolter. Firing a bolter will most likely pull your arm out of its socket. If the previous is even possible since the bolters are genetically coded so that only Astartes can fire them. Augmented bolters, specially made for humans are used in higher ranks.
Fluffwar! :p

Exactly! :pPandemic wrote:
A LORD Commissar could probably get his hands on a human-sized bolt pistol pretty easily, ... , i don't think it would be too difficult for them to pull a few strings to get a bolt-pistol made for a non-astartes human to use to be created/requisitioned for them.

And that's the exact reason I don't like it, with a Bolt Pistol I can at least pretend that he loads a Kraken/Vengeance/Flux Core/Your Boolet of Choice and takes careful aim with it.

Terminator Armour is OP. You can shoot a LOT of stuff at it (in lore) and still not deal any real damage to the person inside or his armour, genestealers just cut through it because of some bullshit slip-up in the lore.

It also makes alot more sense that that be his starting weapon. And concerning the bolt pistol in tt and lots of ig books high ranking officers of lieutanant or higher tend to be armed with bolt pistols. A prime example is colonel kasteen from the ciaphas cain novel
