Eradication Beamers are a type of weapon used by Adeptus Mechanicus Onager Dunecrawlers. This weapon fires a thin yellow beam that widens as it projects outwards. Those in the middle distance will be ravaged at a molecular level. Those nearby are simply atomized.^[1]

Trivia

The following information is not to be regarded as officially sanctioned and/ or is not written from an in-universe point of view. A detailed explanation of the term "Trivia" as used in the Lexicanum can be found here.

While the exact mechanism of the Eradication Beamer is not explained, there is strong evidence for it being a Disintegration Weapon. Both weapons are described as being "beams of energy", "severing the (internal/molecular) bonds of matter", and "reducing a target to atoms". Thus is it is very likely the eradication beamer is a form of disintegration weapon, if in function at the least.^[1][2][3]
