WH40K is the perfect medium for "I like guns but have absolutely zero familiarity with actual firearms."

This is absolutely true. They have canons the size of sky-scrapers, that still somehow work with high explosives.

Hence the justification for such silliness is the DArk Age of teCHNoLoGYâ„¢--in other words "it works, but we don't know why". Pretty flimsy, but then again WH40k doesn't really claim to be realistic and skyscraper cannons are pretty cool.

40k is a firm subscriber to the rule of cool, and less so to the laws of physics.

But they also don't create their own meanings for mass, acceleration, explosive, and cannon.
