Stub pistols aka stub guns aka slug guns aka stubbers are terms
that refers to a wide variety of low-velocity, high-calibre pistols

Humble but effective weapons, suitable for close range engagements,
they are favored among hive gangers, criminals, and others living on
the fringes of society. However even some Guardsmen and Imperial officers
like them as backup weapons, prefering to put their trust in solid rounds
over energy weaponry. They come in a bewildering variety of shapes and sizes,
but they all have the common characteristic of being simple mechanical devices
that firing bullets upon the pull of a trigger.
