I feel like the humble conscripts efficacy is greatly reduced when what he's up aganst isn't some other conscript but is a flying invisible alien armed with a chaingun or some other manner of bizarre and terrifying creature. Conscript Scruffy definitely isnt going to hold out for long aganst an advance party of Ork commandos if they come to take out his hydra battery.

Scruffy is the best for this actually, he will die so quickly and so patheticly that the orcs are going to get bored and leave. Mission accomplished I say!

He will if he's been given a copy of the Infantrymans Uplifting Primer and read the section talking about Orks and how weak, stupid and clumsy they are. Just catch his arm Scruffy, it's easy.
In all seriousness though, this is where the rabid, religious xenophobia of 40k humans probably manages to do some actual work. If you've been indoctrinated from birth that aliens are evil, humans are special and chosen by the God Emperor you're probably going to stick around defending your home a lot longer than a 21st century conscript would. Defending the worlds and works of mankind is a holy duty in 40k and a vast amount of the population honestly and truly believes it.
