===Splinter Pistol===
'''The Splinter Pistol''' is the ranged weapon of choice for most the remainder of the Dark Eldar forces, finding frequent use in the ranks of [[Archon]]s and [[Dracon]]s, [[Wych]]es, [[Mandrake]]s, and most [[Sybarite]]s. Usually paired with a [[Dark Eldar Melee Weaponry#Monomolecular Blade|Monomolecular Knife or ClawDark Eldar melee weaponry]] and used as a pair for added effectiveness in assaults. The Splinter Pistol uses the same ammunition and firing mechanisms as the rifle, although compacted and therefore less powerful, and with a smaller ammunition crystal to reduce the weight even further. Splinter Pistol crystals are therefore the most frequently impregnated with toxins, as they are the weapons that need the added effect most.

===Splinter Cannon===
'''The Splinter Cannon''' is the most lethal of the three, and much more expensive to produce, as it incorporates several additions to allow the user to fire this large, bulky weapon even while charging into assault.
