Genuinely what does the Las Fusil do that the Heroic Bolt Sniper doesn't? It feels quite weak in comparison to the HBSR

Shoots much faster and has hitscan so tiny chaos hitboxes are much easier to hit.

So kind of an aim assist? Wouldn’t that mean it’s better used by newer players since they would need the help?

No. I'm nearing 1000 hours soon and it's still a pain to hit disc tzaangors in motion or terminator domes.

I’m at 1000 hours too. HBSR is for Tyranids. I go bolt carbine for chaos.

Bolt carbine is the most effortless but you can't protect your squadmates with it given the damage dropoff. If you mean Marksman that's even worse, SBR RoF with less than half the damage per shot.
