Ion Accelerator
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Ion Accelerator is a Tau Ion Weapon.
One of the most powerful class of Ion Weapons in the Tau arsenal, the Ion Accelerator is typically mounted on the XV104 Riptide Battlesuit and can be further charged with the suits Nova Reactor to devastating effect.[1] It shoots boulder-sized Ion balls that leave a burning trail in their wake. Even a single impact is capable of instantly vaporising half of a Rhino transport and causing the remaining half to explode.[2]
