Even those outside the affected area can suffer from adverse consequences as the distortion of reality itself causes people and object to be spatially displaced, potentially causing further damage. The only disadvantage of the D-Cannon is that by Eldar standards it is a short-ranged and inaccurate weapon. To an extent the D-Cannon's unpredictability is to be expected, especially for a weapon which makes mockery of the laws of the universe.{{Fn|1}}
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 closure 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}}
