bolter
A person or thing that bolts, or runs suddenly.
Seen in the wild
I mean it didn't help that none of my Witchhunter-era Immolators and Exorcists didn't have the hull-mounted heavy bolter that they later acquired either... Invisible weapons? Emperor be praised, it's a miracle!
So that storm bolter? Yeah we’re replacing it with a heavy flamer, and the pintle mount? Well we’re swapping that flamer for a storm bolter “Ok, but why?”

: Bolting can be one of the worst problems in dogdom to solve. We′ve all seen a bolter — or rather, we haven't seen him. We released him to hunt, and he was gone for the day, the week, the month. I′ve known of bolters to be gone for years.
