Particle Weapon
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Particle Whip[5]
Particle Weapons are powerful weapons used by the Necrons.[1]
Overview
These weapons emit a stream of tiny anti-matter particles that detonate on contact with other matter, blasting the targets to bits. They are extremely reliable, requiring only enough energy to maintain its containment field which prevents the anti-matter from detonating within the weapon itself.[1]
