'''Fusion weapons''' are heat-based weapons used by the [[Eldar]], analogous to the Imperium's [[melta weapon]]s.
==Fusion gunGun==
{{Lex-De|Destination=Fusionsstrahler}}The '''Fusion Gun''' is a [[melta weapon]] developed by the Eldar and commonly used by the [[Fire Dragon]] [[Aspect Warrior]]s, as well as [[Guardian#Storm Guardians|Storm Guardian]] units. This powerful weapon has a short range, but is capable of reducing an enemy [[battle tank]] to a pile of molten slag or vaporize an enemy soldier in under a second.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2a}}
==Skyraiders Kiss==
The '''Skyraiders Kiss''' are a variant of the Fusion Gun, that were originally developed by the [[Craftworld]] [[Mymeara]] to be deployed in battle on the planet [[Bethalmae]]. The design was soon ''borrowed'' by other Craftworlds, after the weapons' designs proved capable at functioning at well below-subzero conditions. Extra cabling in the design shunts more coolant to the weapon, allowing it to be fired more frequently, and requiring less time to cool down between shots. The tradeoff for the extra cooling is that the coolant is required to be stored with the weapon, increasing the weight overall.{{Fn|3}}
