Ammunition Types
* Kraken Pattern Penetrator Rounds are powerful armour-piercing rounds. The uranium core is replaced by a solid adamantine core and uses a heavier main charge. Upon impact, the outer casing peels away and the high velocity adamantium needle accelerates into the victim, where the larger detonator propels shards of super hardened metal further into the wound. These are effective against heavily-armoured infantry.
* Psycannon Bolts are used by the Inquisition, primarily the [[Ordo Malleus]] and [[Grey Knights]]. They are very similar in nature to the rounds fired by their namesake, the [[Psycannon]], and are similarly used against psychic and daemonic targets. Of all the rounds these are the most expensive, as each and every bolt is inscribed with runes on a microscopic level. Other sources say that they contain an anti-psychic substance that still others claim is a byproduct of the Emperor's [[Golden Throne]]. The psychic nature of these rounds are not only effective at destroying daemonic targets but also highly efficient at piercing the powerful barriers created by forcefield generators (such as the [[Tau]] Shield Generator and the Imperium's own [[Iron Halo]] and [[Storm Shield]]).
*Dragonfire Bolts are used by [[Sternguard VeteransVeteran]] s and release a gout of superheated gas that makes a mockery of cover.
*Vengeance Rounds utilise an unstable flux technology which makes them slightly hazardous to use but makes them very good against armoured targets. In fact, they were originally developed to combat Traitor Marines.
