'''Melta Weapons''' are potent weapons which work either by sub-atomic agitation of the target causing it to cook or otherwise melt, or by creating a small scale fusion reaction (using a Pyrum/[[Promethium]] fuel mix for some imperial weapons), which is projected as a blast which can burn through almost anything, with greater effect the closer to the target.{{Fn|9}}
