Usually paired with a [[Monomolecular Blade|Monomolecular Knife]] or Claw and used as a pair for added effectiveness in assaults. The Splinter Pistol uses the same ammunition and firing mechanisms as the rifle, although compacted and therefore have shorter range, and with a smaller ammunition crystal to reduce the weight even further. Splinter Pistol crystals are therefore the most frequently impregnated with toxins, as they are the weapons that most need the added effect.{{Fn|2}} ==Sources==*{{Endn|1}}: [[Codex: Dark Eldar (5th Edition)]] pg.57-60*{{Endn|2}}: [[Codex: Dark Eldar (3rd Edition)]]pg.34-35
