The size of the warp hole created depends on the size of the D-Cannon, with larger weapons requiring more power and larger chassis to mount them. The largest D-Cannons are those mounted on Eldar [[Cobra (Eldar)|Cobras]] and [[Phantom Titan]]s.{{Fn|4}} These terrifying weapons are capable of swallowing multiple [[battle tank]]s in one hit, and the shockwave that results from their sudden closing can knock over other armoured vehicles lucky enough to avoid being dragged into hell.{{Fn|5}}
Efforts by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] to study and replicate this technology have ended in gruesome failure, particularly in 755299.[[M40]] when unsanctioned work on one resulted in the Contagion of Eridanus and the deployment of a [[Grey Knight]] strike force to halt the [[daemon]]ic intrusion. Since that incident draconian measures have been enforced upon the Adeptus Mechanicus for dabbling in heretical xeno technology, and those who ignore these restrictions can expect a visit from the [[Inquisition]].{{Fn|5}}
