Neutron Blaster
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
| This article is about the Vespid weapon; for the Imperial weapon, see Neutron Laser Projector. |
Neutron Blaster.[2]
Neutron Blasters are a unique combination of T'au and Vespid technologies.[1]
The heart of the weapon is a unique crystal found on the Vespid homeworld. The crystal is energetic and unstable, but can be modulated by the vibrations of the Vespid's wings. The crystal is mounted in a case designed by the T'au that projects neutrons through the crystal. The combination is one of the most lethal weapons of its size.[3] Its neutron blast is so powerful that it can easily punch through most armour.[1]
The weapon also has the added safety feature of only being able to be fired by a Vespid; other creatures cannot modulate the crystal.[3]
