The '''Prism Cannon''' is an [[Eldar]] weapon of great destructive potential.It uses a medium strength laser beam and passes it through a finely tuned crystal prism which both greatly amplifies the power of the laser and spreads it can be focused into over a thin, wihte hot beam to punch large area. This makes the weapon use a glowingtwo stage firing mechanism, smouldering hole in although with the toughest tank, or be disperesed,advanced Eldar technology this weakens the power by about 60% but is great for taking out entire infantry squadsnot a problem
==Parts of the Prism Cannon==
*Primary charge chamber - at the rear of the weapon, where the original laser beam is created
*Laser acceleration chamber - in the centre of the weapon, where the laser is increased in power
*Prism focus adjusment motors - at the end of the Laser chamber, which focuses the great prism to provide the biggest power output
*Main prism - at the end of the weapon, where the laser is eather focused (increased in power and distributed over a larger area for maximum destructive power) or dispersed (for area). 
==Uses==
