The Plasma Pistol is most commonly carried by the officers of both the Space Marines and the Imperial Guard. However it lacks the same degree of power, and introduces the logistical complications of requiring the manufacture and delivery of specific ammunition to the frontline, unlike the Lasgun. The ancient Rapier Armoured Carrier is only one of the Imperium's many such technological relics; a bulky, armoured track unit which mounts a powerful Atomantic Reactor. This is projected as a blast of incredible heat. When a weapon with Devastating Wounds scores a Critical Wound (normally on a to-wound roll of six), the target suffers a Mortal Wound and the attack sequence ends. The principle upon which Melta Weapons work varies in their depictions. A Shock Gauntlet is a unique weapon that is designed to incapacitate Space Marines. Sanctifier Grenades are used by Inquisitors of the Ordo Malleus to destroy daemons. Melta X weapons do an additional X wounds against targets within half their weapon range: a Melta 2 weapon would do two extra wounds. The Plasma Pistol is a shorter-ranged, single-handed pistol version of the Plasma Gun. It is the main armament of the Baneblade super-heavy tank and is very devastating to infantry due to its high blast radius. The Imperium of Man is a vast, galaxy-spanning interstellar human empire. Some Imperial troops have the option of wielding weapons that require two hands to use effectively, such as the Eviscerator. People who play the table-top game refer to the lasgun as "flashlight" due its low strength and lack of armour penetration, especially when compared to the basic weapons of the other armies. The new Dakka weapons have two separate attack values, which come into play based on your Orks proximity to their target. The mysterious entity known as the Sanginor is also known to wield a Glaive Encarmine in battle. The Vortex Grenade is an unpredictable weapon that destroys anything that it comes into contact with, and the Warp vortex it creates drifts randomly after activation slaying friend and foe alike.

The Cyclone Missile Launcher is a Missile Launcher fitted on the shoulders of select Space Marine Terminators. Some Imperial armouries hold ancient swords of such high quality they strike as potently as a Power Sword though they possess no energy field emitters. Melta weapons have a short range but are very powerful and are favoured for use against armoured targets; in the Imperial Guard they are typically fielded specifically for close range anti-tank combat, particularly in urban environments. The extreme heat flare produced by the muzzle blast also limits the Meltagun's use indoors or in close quarters. In earlier patterns of the Assault Cannon the weapon was notoriously fickle and prone to jamming, sometimes stopping with enough force to detonate the weapon and kill the user. The Grey Knights, the elite daemon-hunting Space Marines of the Ordo Malleus, are powerful psykers in their own right, and use Force Weapons exclusively. The Deathwatch Graviton Cannon possesses a higher graviton output and has proven decidedly more deadly when unleashed on the Deathwatch's foes. Rapid Fire X weapons fire X extra shots against targets within half range; a Rapid Fire 2 weapon would fire two extra shots at a target within half range. Lord Commander Dante, of the Blood Angels Space Marines, uses an ancient version of this weapon, called the Perdition Pistol, which fires with the same effect as a normal Meltagun, but can still be used in close combat. They are also one of the three types of weapons favoured by Sisters of Battle, along with bolt weapons and flamer weapons. They are thus able to strike quickly, represented in-game by dreadnoughts striking in their initiative order. Many Laspistols have power packs mounted in front of the pistol's grip rather than within the grip itself, so that heat from the power cell can be quickly dissipated and the power cell quickly changed when depleted. Instead, the incendiary version has lowered strength and armour-piercing capability but can create an incendiary firestorm engulfing an entire area in flames.

Grenade Launchers can also fire more exotic types of grenades, as listed below, though these are not standard issue, and need to be loaded for firing individually. Space Marines make use of Lascannons as a shoulder-fired weapon, and are also fielded in Imperial Guard heavy weapon squads as a tripod-mounted crew-served weapon. Unlike other weapons which have analogs in other armies, Flamers generally have no specialised versions in the non-Imperial armies that they are found in; they are simply referred to as Flamers.

The Toxin Grenade spews an amount of toxic chemicals and biological extracts over an area. Weapon Types. Imperial Plasma Weapons are comparatively stronger than other races' analogues, but this advantage is offset by poor cooling and venting mechanisms: Plasma Weapons using Imperial technology can build up dangerous levels of heat, whichmust be vented out regularly,or the weapon can seriously wound or kill the operator upon firing. The sheer power of this weapon makes it a good choice for most armies. It can achieve this legendary destructive potential because it is fed directly from the massive Plasma Reactor that powers the entire Titan, enabling the Princeps to divert power from other systems (usually motive power) in order to "overcharge" the weapon, though this decreases the life cycle of the components involved considerably. Theyll also be receiving the Blast keyword ability that ups the number of attacks made when targetting large groups. Hand Flamers are smaller, one-handed versions of the normal Flamer.

Some chain weapons are capable of slicing through bulkheads and thick armour. The Titan Plasma Cannon is an upgraded version of the Plasma Blastgun, only mountable on the Warlord-class of Battle Titan as only its immense Plasma Reactors are large enough to power it. Newer patterns of the weapon no longer suffer from this problem, which could be due to research by the Adeptus Mechanicus that produced refinements in the weapon's design, similar to the transition from the Combi-bolter to the Storm Bolter. Both kinds of space marine grenade designs are described as "micro-grenades" and are apparently smaller. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience.

Instead of rolling dice to hit a target, firing a flamer (and other similar weapons) simply involves placing a teardrop-shaped template over a target area. Rare in the Imperium, the Plasma Grenade explodes to produce a ball of plasma that covers an area. A Bolt Pistol magazine carries only 6 to 10 rounds of standard bolt rounds, each weighing about 0.08kg and with a diameter of .75 calibre (19.05mm). The weapon itself has an inherent connection to the ancient Star Gods of the Necrons, the C'tan, since the technology for its creation was discovered within ancient Necron ruins deep beneath the surface of Mars by the Tech-priests of the Cult Mechanicus many centuries before the Mechanicus became a part of the Imperium of Man.
