Flechette Blaster
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Flechette Blaster[1]
Flechette Blasters are a type of weapon used by Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii. A lightweight but lethal firearm, it is the favored tool of Sicarian Infiltrators. This silenced weapon[2] fires hundreds of tiny darts, each of which bears a dormant cell awakened in the gun's chamber. When one dart hits it emits a homing beacon that attracts others, resulting in a series of impacts that burrow through bone.[1]
Known patterns
Stormraker pattern
The Stormraker pattern flechette blaster, nicknamed the 'blitz gun' by Urdeshi Storm Troops, is the Astra Militarum variant of the Mechanicus weapon. Though it lacks the cybernetic interface module and neural linkages, it still fires jacket-less needle rounds at an extremely high rate of fire.[3]
