Nah. Unlike Musk the Emperor actually knows stuff.
The scene is from a Custodes own eyes with their description of the weapon this implies that they saw the Emperor.make it and are familiar with an STC for bolt weapons.
Heck out that in the Imperial Agents army and let them be allied out like Assassins
And I need to learn how to spell "I" apparently. Less frantic typing on my phone and more proofreading is key I guess
I think chances are they saw bolt guns before, but what the Emperor made was different than those hence "progenitor of its kind"
Also this site needs a way to do threads because when my brain gets rambling it is such a pain to link posts like this
Considering the description is through a Custodes memory it is likely that the Custodes was there when it was made
all bolters. This also ties the Imperial Bolter into a religious icon for the Ministorum and explains why they would prioritize it so highly as a weapon for the Sororitas. Just my own theory of course. 6/6
This works especially well for how the language of Gothic is actually rather vague at times allowing the Imperium to control the meaning rather easily. Consider Promethium which accounts for any flammable liquid regardless of composition or use. So Big E invented the Imperial Bolter but not 5/
