The standard pattern is known as the 'M-Galaxy' style although hundreds of thousands of variants exist, with the [[Cadian Shock Troops|Cadian]] variant being very different from that used by the [[Tallarn Desert Raiders]], [[Tanith First and Only]] or [[Elysian Drop Troops]]. The M-Galaxy was first put into use in 2546789.[[M35]]<sup>2</sup>.
The lasgun and laspistol are possibly the weakest weapons in pure killing power of all the weapons in common usage by Imperial military forces, and are known widely as 'flashlights'. However the power of lasguns is in their massed, concentrated use. It has also been demonstrated that even a laspistol beam is fully capable of killing an unarmoured target, slicing limbs off and, if fired into a target's eyethe head, searing penetrating the brain skull and causing immediate death.
