title
The '''Prism Cannon''' is an [[Eldar]] weapon of great destructive potential. It uses a medium strength laser beam and passes it through a finely tuned crystal prism which both greatly amplifies the power of the laser and spreads it over a large area. This makes the weapon use a two stage firing mechanism, although with the advanced Eldar technology this is not a problem.
==Parts of the Prism Cannon===
*Primary charge chamber - at the rear of the weapon, where the original laser beam is created
*Laser acceleration chamber - in the centre of the weapon, where the laser is increased in power
