Gamma Pistol

Gamma Pistols are a type of weapon used by the Adeptus Mechanicus. The gamma pistol is entrusted only to the truly blessed. The beam of ionizing radiation that leaps from its muzzle can reduce a man to a blackened shadow in a second, but this is a waste of its true strength — those able to tame its savage machine spirit can cut holes in an even enemy fortifications if necessary.[1]

The Gauss Gamma Pistol was created by Xenarites of Stygies VIII, who had infiltrated the Caestus Metalican during the Explorator voyage to the Tomb World on Silva Tenebris. The Xenarites had reverse engineered and ionized the Necron Gauss Weapon energies, combining it with Imperial Rad Weapon technology, creating a powerful hand-held compact weapon.[2]
