The standard issue [[Lasgun]] in service with regiments of Krieg is the no98 Lucius Pattern Lasgun. Its power pack operates at a higher charge than many other more common patterns of Lasgun. This gives the weapon more punch, but drains the powepack after only 25 shots. The weapon is single shot only and has a slower recharge rate than many other Lasguns, however it is judged that the additional stopping power of the gun more than makes up for this. The barrel of the weapon is fitted with distinctive heat sink rings to help dissipate the enormous additional heat this high powered Lasweapon generates under sustained fire. The weapons furniture (stock and foregrip) are typically made of synthetic wood, although metal variants are known<sup>10</sup>.
Death Korps units prefer to use [[Meltagun]]s and [[Heavy Bolter]]s, but also have access to Mortars, Heavy Stubbers, Lascannons, Autocannons and Flamers. As with most Imperial Guard their standard issue individual weapon is the Lasgun and many carry a Laspistol. The multi purpose knife carried by all members of the Death Korps is a bayonet but also a field tool. The citizens of Krieg are gloomy but hard working, and this is reflected in the weapons and equipment used by the Death Korps which is very utilitarian compared to many Imperial Guard regiments, but ultimately, fit for purpose.
