In an instant, the previously silent wilderness was shattered by intense gunfire.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The thunderous gunfire from both sides rose and fell, as though it would tear the whole world apart.
The Big Shootas in the Orks' hands spat flames madly, bullets screaming toward the Space Marines. Yet those bullets could not penetrate the Space Marines' shields, instead ricocheting away or vanishing directly in midair.
At the same time, the Space Marines showed no weakness. Their Heavy Ripper Rifles fired continuously at astonishing speed, and every pull of the trigger brought down an Ork.

The Space Marines responded calmly. Skillfully handling their Heavy Ripper Rifles, they kept firing and cut down the charging Orks one after another.
The bullets fired by Heavy Ripper Rifles could easily pierce thick ceramite armor, let alone these Orks wearing nothing more than crude protective gear.
