The Storm Bolter is a double-barrelled version of the standard .75 calibre Bolter. As it is heavier and causes more recoil than a normal Bolter, it is even more rarely used than the Bolter by the regiments of the Astra Militarum. Instead, Storm Bolters are the standard weapons employed by Space Marine Terminators. Due to its high munitions consumption, and the lack of dexterity available to the wearer of Terminator Armour, most Storm Bolters are fed from a large box magazine, carrying approximately 100 rounds.

Destroying a Door
Against a Space Hulk Door, the Storm Bolter is not going to do much damage. However, Marines can target the door controls which if destroyed, will cause the Door to stay open permanently. The Door will now be considered Destroyed as it cannot be closed.
Door controls can only be Targeted from a maximum of 3 squares away to be effective in destroying them.
The Score to destroy a Door is always a 6. This is due to their small size and sturdy design.
