Essentially its like taking a normal cased round and moving the propellant into one component, and adding some simple mechanical crap and an explosive... its pretty much a fire and forget missile, imagine them to be armed with ut2003 rocket launchers of sorts

still it's a bit odd, as almost ALL fluff images and art clearly show the bolters as having a shell-ejectionport and cocking lever on the side and they do eject shells..
guess this is a slight matter of conflicting fluff..
so i'd take the golden middle road on this: i'd rather see them as heavy calibre semiauto guns/assaultrifles .75calibre (and UP, if i'm not mistaken) which fire a kind of highexplosive armorpiercing grenade...
kinda like the M203 grenadelaunchers fitted under M16, AR15 and M4 modernday assaultrifles> a highexplosive, with a small propellant charge (in the wh40K universe encased in an armorpiercing slug) fired chemically and the empty shell is ejected... In short a .75cal rocketpropelled grenade - RPG
just my 2eurocent

i'd say the bolters can be switched modes, > burst or semi-auto
would be a really logical option to me i guess...

============
THE HOLY BOLTER
============
998. model bolter: Godwyn pattern with ammo counter, sinister/dexter locking mechanism and sickle magazine containing 30 rounds of .75 calibre bolts with diamantine tips, depleted deuterium core & mass reactive detonators. Fires in 4 round bursts.
The bolter is the preferred weapon of the Adeptus Astartes. Each bolter must be fasioned by hand, either in the Chapter's own armouries or on a forge world of the Adeptus Mechanicus. A bolter is a rare and treasured weapon; but in the hands of a Space Marine it is a divine instrument of the Emperor's wrath.
There is a picture accompaying the text, and it is of the bolter that the current 3rd/4th Ed marines are wielding.

kinda strange in my eyes, but ok.. 4 rnd burst are cool too...

I think that the AK-47 was used as a design guide for many of the Imperial weapons, most notably the Autogun (in some of Jes's concept sketches, he actually says this too). Kalashnikovs fire in 4-round bursts, or single-shot modes (IIRC). I guess this was also applied to the bolter. I *think* the Lasgun also fires in SSs or 4-round bursts as well?

The lasguns has singleshot mode and auto-fire mode, but this prolly depends on the home worlds of the Regiments. At least the Tanith have this kinda lasgun settings.
Oh and our bolters have 3 shot bursts
