A Master-crafted weapon is used by all of the Imperial armies, including the Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Daemonhunters and Witch Hunters. It is a blanket term for any weapon somehow enhanced, either in design or increased power, and that stands out from the other weapons used by other units.
Effects and Distribution
Making a weapon master-crafted is to make it incredibly ornate and decorated while also improving its functionality. Any weapon may be master-crafted and due to the improved design of the weapon, it is more likely that a target will be hit by attacks from this weapon. A grenade cannot be master-crafted.
