Hmm, not sure runebrush. Although (my Lore is not fanatical) I know the bolter fires a self propelling round like a small missile, you'd have to assume that casings are involved somewhere based on the fact that GW sculpts casing ejection slots on most bolters? Maybe an igniter is housed in a casing?

Cheers

the original bolter was a .68 or .75 caliber caseless smart missile, then some 'smart assed' model maker had to put a mound of shell casing on the base of a Marine (cuz it looked cool!) and so we when back to brass and ammo checks....
That and Dark Angels where painted BLACK! not Dark Green!

Lol, nope, mud duck has it right, the old 40k Wargear book has it as a caseless missle. In fairness, bolt guns and pistols have always had a slot for ejecting spent shells and most artwork, cgi, games and miniatures have shell's flying everywhere :D
