The Pulse Rifle, and how its shown in 40k media bothers me.

So After playing Fire Warrior and watching Exodite (RIP) I can't help but be annoyed by how the pulse rifle, and by extension the pulse carbine, are shown on both of these. Lemme explain:

in both pieces of media, Both pulse weapons are treated like full auto, low recoil weapons. When the Pulse Rifle is specifically stated to be comparable to a bolter. Its advantages over said weapon being penetration (Where AP?) and stopping power. With the main disadvantage being its High recoil, making it best used when stationary (Tell me a gun you know of that does better when moving, nice one GW.)

The Funny thing is, Dawn of War gets them both right! And I watched hive-storm and saw pulse carbines shooting semi-auto like they normally would (They took my Shas'ui's perfect jawline)

So What was up with fire warrior and exodite? Bad animation? Lack of knowledge?
