The '''Shuriken Pistol''' is the smaller version of the Shuriken Catapult and is fired one-handed. Certain heroes and warriors and the [[Striking Scorpion]] Aspect Warriors use Shuriken Pistols as a main weapon. Other Eldar units use them as secondary weapons. The Eldar name for this weapon is '''murehk'''.
====Shuriken Cannon====

The much larger '''Shuriken Cannon''' works in a similar way to the Shuriken Catapult but has an ammunition coil to load the weapon more quickly and uses a triple accelerator field for improved rate of fire and power. While the versions above are all hand-held weapons the shuriken cannon is very large and needs stabilising gyroscopes to allow any accuracy. They are generally mounted on Guardian heavy weapon platforms and Eldar vehicles. The Eldar name for this weapon is '''buanna''' (reaper).
