Really? Why's that? Care to elaborate as to why a modern day main battle tank are much better than imperium tanks? What next? An American M1A2 SEP would be superior than an iconic Baneblade? Just curious why

Because they go faster, probably further, have lower profiles, and early fluff gave them inadequate armor (until it was refluffed to be the physical thickness instead of effective thickness)

I love it how people keep pushing this like it's a thing.

1) It was a Forge World book.
2) It was a homemade pistol used by criminals (or in this case by heretics).
3) It's shit even in 40k.
4) There's real life weapons with equal ballistics, such as the 6.5mm Bergmann.

Well... 40k was pretty much made as a reason for people to buy GW's "modern" army minis (just as Warhammer was to sell more Fantasy and Renaissance minis). Much of the original Imperial Guard line was repurposed Napoleonic, Victorian, WW1, WW2 and Vietnam stuff.
>>
>>48320547
In 40k criminals have nukes. But that's above relevance. Guns are extremely simple to make. Not that you can't do it badly, but it's not difficult. Autoguns and stubbers ar commonplace in 40k and I'm guessing it was one such?

FW and GW is terrible with statting weapons. Assume they screwed up.

No, it was a stub gun. Stub gun which in fluff are utter shit, used by lowest of the low gangers and criminals. Equal to a 20th century handgun. They're shit in the fluff and when FW gives them shit stats to reflect this (yet equal to a real life shit cartridge), people lose their collective shit and now a volcano cannon can't even warm a cup of tea.

I've learned that a 5.56 round has lower weight but higher velocity than a musket ball. Guess which one is more effective on the battlefield.

Probably could but wasn't designed to. Hence those little wheels on the front not touching the ground is for rotating the tracks. Hell you can even see the tracks sitting on the side of the tank.

Still doesn't mean a musket ball can't fuck you up. A fraction of a gram BB has to have a lot of speed to do anything, but a bullet with several grams of weight can kill you at lower speeds. That's why a tennis balls and a rock thrown at you with the same velocity have very different effects.

Nobody, not even 40k fluff, has ever said stub guns were good weapons.
>>
>>48330618
Yes it was, that is why the Christie suspension was chosen. You could ride into battle on wheels (meaning less wear on the tracks) and then put on the tracks before battle. Of course they were rarely used that way because it was inconvenient as hell to have to put on the tracks when you arrive near the frontlines but that was the purpose.

m8, muskets amputated limbs with single shots.

A musket is less effective because it's inaccurate, slow firing, jams and smokey.

A musket's muzzle velocity and projectile weight are no fucking impediment to battlefield effectiveness.
