A '''Psycannon''' is a technologically and religiously empowered creation of [[Mankind]]. Its primary use is to destroy all manner of unholy matter such as [[daemon]]s and [[warp]] spawn. In short, it is a special form of [[Bolter]] which is ritually blessed by both its Magos creators of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] under the [[Machine God]], and by a member of the [[Ecclesiarchy]] in the name of the God [[Emperor]]. Each bolt is also inscribed with all manner of symbols such as protection wards and banishment rites. Coupled with the psychically charged weapon, this makes for a devestating power against Chaos. It is used mainly by the [[Daemonhunters]] [[Grey Knights]] army and [[Inquisitor]]s of the [[Ordo Malleus]].
The Psycannon can also be used in another way conjunction with a device called a [[Neural UplinkMind Impulse Unit]]. The psycannon is directly linked to the neural stream of the user and can be used upon the whim of a thought. This has two advantages: it gives the user a time advantage as their opponant will not realise they are about to fire on them. Also, if the user is psychicly able, they can infuse their own power with that of the weapon, adding to its already devestating effect.
