Lightning Gun
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Lightning Gun[2]
Lightning Guns are Great Crusade-era weapons used by various Adeptus Mechanicus troops, most notably Thallax.[1]
This aptly named weapon takes the form of a baroquely designed carbine connected to a micro-reactor or power core. It fires an ionizing las-beam along with a powerful phased discharge of electromagnetic particles. The ensuing effect makes the weapon able to overload mechanical targets in addition to its effectiveness against organic enemies.[1]
