    The other guns have never had an official clarification. Given that they've got rotary barrels, I would say that they were Guns That John Blanche thought Looked Cool, rather than any official 40K weapon. Equipping an entire army with infantry-carried rotary miniguns is fruity as all hell, and so well in keeping with John Blanche's style.

    What they are depends entirely on how high power you want to count Skitarri as being when you invent rules for them, I suppose. Make them assault cannons, and the army quickly becomes ridiculous, both in fluff and rules terms. It's more probably they're just some ridiculous autogun or multilaser variant. In Dark Heresy or some other RPG, they'd have slightly modified stats, but in the simpler world of 40K, you're probably looking at either lasgun or boltgun stats. Maybe hotshot lasguns at a pinch.
    not for the skitarii, they're going to be more basic techguard, no the rotary cannons are for the secutors, whom are basically warrior-tech-priests.

    Now, if I didn't know any better the gatling guns look like Volg 1's but are obviously not cranked. I thinking of calling it a rotary cannon and basically making it a heavy stubber with the assault rule.

    This. The second picture was most assuredly not a grenade launcher.

    The other two are rotary stub guns, you may remember them from servitors such as praetorians.
