The Railgun is one of the strongest weapons in Warhammer 40,000 and is used by the Tau. It uses magnetically accelerated ammunition to destroy heavily armoured vehicles. It can be used in conjunction with a Markerlight to make it even more accurate.

However, as of the third sphere expansion, advancements in the technology have eliminated the possibility of a misfire.
