'''Splinter Weaponry''' are the primary weapon type used by [[Dark Eldar]] forces. They all operate around the same general mechanism as a Rail-Gun, splitting off shards of a Neurotoxin that has been solidified into a crystal up into thousands of tiny splinters and then launching them at incredible speeds towards an enemy.{{Fn|1}}

===Splinter Cannon===

The primary additions are a semi-liquid stabilization mechanism housed approximately in the center of the cannon, to provide a counterweight to the constantly fluctuating center of gravity on the weapon. Second, an auto-burst trigger will continue to fire splinters for four to five seconds after it has been pulled, in case the user loses his grip temporarily during the charge. Finally, and possibly most important, is the addition of magneto-impulse directional spines along the barrel, and a secondary power generator housed in the back of the cannon, to prevent stalling or improper functioning. These directional spines provide additional magnetic field stability, preventing the splinters from exiting the barrel traveling at an awkward angle or hitting the inside of the barrel and causing damage to the weapon.

'''Splinter Pods''' are splinter rifle-like weapons mounted under [[Hellion Skyboard]]s. These pods can be fired with the depression of a heel-stud, making them easy to use even assaulting against an enemy squad.{{Fn|2a}}
