Warhammer gun loading and inconsistent automation

Manual loading of enormous Warhammer guns draws criticism because of the machinery and labour such weapons would require. The response cautions that autoloaders do exist in the setting and that arrangements vary with the ship, gun pattern, and writer. A familiar White Dwarf illustration is described as old and unrepresentative of many vessels. Angels of Death prompts a narrower disagreement over whether the manually loaded weapons under discussion are macrocannons or bombardment cannons. The exchange leaves that identification for checking rather than establishing one loading system for every Warhammer ship.
