Dragonfire
Used by Sternguard Veterans and release a gout of superheated gas that makes a mockery of cover, the gas discharge ensuring that struck targets receive full damage, even if partially protected.

AoE damage, custom models

Gatebreaker
Designed by the Imperial Fists to blast open reinforced doors, these bolts contain an unstable reservoir of hyper-dense liquid theldrite. Upon hitting the target, the substance catapults forward within its canister and solidifies, adding a battering ram-like force.

(EFFECT HEAVILY EXAGGERATED FOR VIDEO)
Based on settings, it will push people or vehicles, or both. No custom model yet.

Haywire
Used by the Iron Hands, these contain refined cores from Medusa’s electro-conductive sagatellum ore and are guided by a Machine Spirit. These bolter rounds detonate with crackling blasts that exorcise hostile machine spirits and burn out enemy circuitry.

Based on settings, it will damage a vehicle’s engine by a certain amount. No custom model yet.

Hellfire
Replaces the core and tip of the standard bolt round with a vial of mutagenic acid, and thousands of needles that fire into the target’s flesh on impact, pumping the acid into the target. Developed specially to combat Tyranids, Hellfire Rounds have equally devastating results on other organic targets.

(IGNORE THEM FLYING KEK)
On hit, will spawn 24 fragments of acid that will explode on impact.

Inferno
Designed to immolate their targets and destroy them with superheated chemical fire. The deuterium core is replaced with an oxy-phosphorus gel, known as Promethium

On hit, fire vfx.

[…] It should be noted that the Chaos Space Marine Thousand Sons have their own similarly-named but unrelated type of inferno bolts, which are actually psychically-bound slugs that release arcane energies; these slugs explode with sorcerous energies upon impact.

During flight, the bullet will spawn lightning bolts. On hit, more lightning bolts will spawn. No custom model yet.

Kraken
Powerful armour-piercing rounds. The deuterium core is replaced by a solid adamantine core and uses a heavier main charge. Upon impact, the outer casing peels away and the high velocity adamantium needle accelerates into the victim, where the larger detonator propels shards of super hardened metal further into the wound. These are effective against heavily-armoured infantry.

Increased damage and penetration. Useful against armored infantry or light vehicles.

Crafted individually by a Magos, each bolt contains a warhead that emits a pulsed shock wave.

Based on settings, it will push people or vehicles, or both. Ragdoll will also be applied to targets, based on settings. No custom model yet.

Vengeance
Utilise an unstable flux technology which makes them slightly hazardous to use but makes them very good against armoured targets. In fact, they were originally developed to combat Traitor Marines.

Standard bolt round, with a few minor changes to vfx.

Other types are already in config, but haven’t been finalized yet. They may lack custom models and/or effects.

You can edit the settings via CBA settings menu!. Failing that, you can create new rounds inheriting from these and config them to your liking.

If you want to use these models in your models, mods, etc, you can! Please take a look at this google drive link[drive.google.com]
