Scatter Cannon
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
A primitive weapon found on Necromunda and used exclusively by the Scalies, a scatter cannon is simply an enlarged version of a Blunderbuss or scatter gun with a heavy barrel and a fist sized bore.[1]
The greater weight of the shrapnel and explosive charge used in a scatter cannon increase its range and make it a lot more deadly in the confined conditions of the underhive. Scalies are the only underhive denizens with the massive strength to take the recoil from these powerful primitive weapons.[1]
