What are considered Heavy Weapons?

[Aesir]

What are considered Heavy Weapons? I see the different types such as bolter, simple, and exotic but I have never seen heavy.

[Daliena]

Heavy Bolter, Heavy Stubber, Heavy Flamer are the ones I've seen so far. Requiring 60/60/50 strength respectively to use (Heavy Weapon Proficiency talent reduces required strength by 25)

There's no 'heavy' category that way, per se, but rather heavy variants of other weapon categories. Heavy Bolter is, obviously, a heavy variant of the Bolter and benefits (or at least should, Owlcat releases means bugs are possible and I haven't been able to test it yet) from Bolt Weapon Expert.

Heavy Stubber is a solid projectile/autogun weapon

And Heavy Flamer, of course, is a flame weapon.

There's also a Multi-Melta, which is a heavy version of the Melta Gun.

If it has heavy in the name, or is a large two handed weapon is the rule of thumb.

Thank you guys!

it shouldn't.

[UnknownAl]

if it's heavy, why shouldn't it? :P
should just be all weapons above or equal to 50 weight or something

Shouldnt Piercing Splinter Cannon be afected by Heavy Weapons Mastery? Kinda sucks to being forced to get STR 60 no matter what otherwise to use it besides the Drukhari mastery

This is likely just a bug.

Even so if you go for the Heavy Weapon perk you will usually have 35 STR, meaning even with those gaunlets that are suboptimal you need to waste 3 upgrades on STR to reach 60.

If you went Heavy Armor you will have 45 and you will have to use an extra STR perk while using the +10 STR gaunlets to reach the quota despite going for a ranged build

Sniper weapons on the TT are often classified as "heavy", meaning move or shoot. So I could see that being a thing in 40k games, even if most other settings it wouldnt.
