The '''Shuriken Catapult''' is an the basic [[Eldar]] weapon that fires shurikens a plasti-crystal material in the form of a 'shuriken'. It uses a solid core forced up into the weapon using a 'magnetic repulsor'. A series of rapid high-energy impulses are produced at the rear of the weapon which then launch down the barrel. This impulse then cuts a single molecule thick of the plasti-crystal into a shuriken shape and hurles it from the front of the weapon at great speed using a "Magnetic Repulsor"very high speeds. Shuriken Catapults are able This method of slicing the solid slug allows the weapon to fire up to a hundred rounds of ammunition in a burst of one or two secondsand each core is good for around 10 of these bursts. The downside of this firing mechanism is the lack of rifling on in the barrel, which significantly reduces reducing the accuracydrastically, therefore thereby reducing it's minimum range to one well under that of it's Imperial solid slug counterparts. ==Sources==*[[Warhammer 40,000: Wargear]]
