=={{Endn|Conflicting sources}}==*In the 1987's [[First Edition]] of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader]], a Shuriken Catapult appeared that was different to their modern appearance. It possessed two polar fins (and sometimes additional fins) positioned laterally near its muzzle, which were the source of the magnetic vortex accelerating the discs. The magazine was from a flat and circular magazine extension, (most commonly stationed in horizontal planesituated horizontally, while noted to but sometimes being positioned vertically).

==Overview==
[[Image:Guardian Shuriken Catapult.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Guardian]] Shuriken Catapult{{Fn|1}}]]
The standard type, firing razor-sharp monomolecular discs capable of slicing through flesh and penetrating a considerable thickness of [[plasteel]] armour. [[Human]]s sometimes refer to these weapons as star slingers or just slingers or sling guns, while its Eldar name is ''tuelean''.{{Fn|2}} The shuriken catapult is the basic weapon of the [[Guardian]]s, the citizen-militia of the [[Craftworld]]s, and is incorporated to certain other systems such as [[Eldar Jetbike]]s.{{Fn|1}}
In the ancient days of the Eldar during the [[War in Heaven (Necron)|War in Heaven]], Shruiken Catapults resembled crossbows and did not have their acceleration arrays enclosed like modern-day models.{{Fn|6}}
