→Lascarbine: new section
While we're at it, let's try and get some more robust sources for some of the less obvious items on the page. The Mars, Voss, and Ryza-patterns spring to mind as things for which the sources are either not easily verifiable, misquoted, or inaccessible (or that have been wrongly extrapolated from less specific source material). In a similar fashion, this is the only place where I've come across the image under the "Triplex Phall" heading being used for anything other than a standard M-Galaxy (in fact, the source to which we're directed doesn't even identify the lasgun's pattern; compare and contrast the exact same image in the 3rd Edition rulebook -- also found [http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/9195/3eweapons2.jpg here] -- where it's labelled as just an M-Galaxy.)

== Lascarbine ==
I feel I'm being a little pedantic here, but how could a las-carbine possibly have a shorter range than a Lasgun? A Las-beam is a beam of light and light is the fastest travelling visible object in the universe. Hence upon pulling the trigger, the Las-beam would reach a Guardsman's target instantly, with fractional or no loss of energy. Hence range would be the same as the sheer range of a laser is monumental and dissipation of the laser would only really happen over a vast distant - not just over the battlefield. I know this is a bit pedantic, but it possibly shouldn't be included as it may be mis-leading to readers.
