Idea: My character has an Adeptus Astartes-issue bolt pistol that (s)he uses like a rifle.
Yes, it is somewhat canon that Astartes bolt pistols are like freakin' rifles to regular humans.
There is no way for a regular human to obtain an Astartes-issue bolt pistol, so no. You can pick your gear from the Armoury list -- stuff like this is exactly why I made that list in the first place.

Let me once again reiterate that this RP is not about personal success. The only feasible reason I could think of for you wanting to use a weapon like that is because it gives you a significant leg-up on the rest of the cast or, if you don't believe having an Astartes-issue bolt pistol is any stronger than any other rifle, because it makes your character even more special. Neither are valid reasons.
Focus on making your character interesting, not their gear.
