The '''Distortion Cannon''' or '''D-Cannon''' is a [[vortex weapon]] and the most dangerous of all [[Eldar]] weapons. Using the same technology which allows ships to enter the nightmare realm of the [[Warp]], the D-Cannon causes an area of the material universe to momentarily collapse in on itself, essentially creating a miniature warp hole. If the target is lucky then violent, complex gravitational forces will merely tear it to pieces, guaranteeing almost certain death to living creatures or total wreckage to vehicles. If not, the target is sucked completely into warp space.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
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}}
