Heavy stubbers are popular amongst military forces and gangers alike, as they are one of the more easily maintained heavy weapons available. Though not as powerful as an autocannon, heavy stubbers can lay down a curtain of suppressive fire and cut swaths though light infantry and vehicles alike. As with other stubber weapons, ammunition is cheap and plentiful. Lighter than most other heavy weapons, the heavy stubber is commonly used hand-held but a bipod mount can be employed by those seeking to avoid the jarring recoil. The Orthlack pattern, manufactured for planetary defense force armouries in the Calixis sector and widely exported, uses an ammunition belt which allows for long firing periods, while the locally copied ‘Ursid’ pattern supposedly originating on the war world of Zayth is more compact and uses a smaller ammunition drum which most users find easier to port and reload.
