===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 Weaponrymelee weaponry#Monomolecular Blade|Dark Eldar melee weaponryMonomolecular Knife or Claw ]] 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.
