==='''Heavy Rotor Cannon'''===
The heavy rotor cannon is an improved version of the humble rotor cannon that fires larger calibre ammunition and possesses more robust motors for the barrel assembly. While still not matching the power of the assault cannon that would render it obsolete, it was superior to the standard rotor cannon and its lighter weight allowed it to be attached to the small [[Estoc pattern jetbike]]s without compromising their agility.{{Fn|6}}
==='''Nomus Pattern'''===
==='''Obsidite Pattern'''===
Used by the [[Salamanders]] during the [[Horus Heresy]]. These weapons have much in common with the multi-barrelled, rotary weapons commonly found in Legion arsenals but are enhanced with the use of specialist rounds, tipped with a hyper-hardened mineral naturally formed from the pyroclastic flows of [[Nocturne]]'s oldest volcanoes.{{Fn|5}}
==='''Snub Pattern'''===
Unlike the more common rotor cannon carried by Space Marine support troops, the snub rotor cannon sacrifices range for a vastly increased ammunition capacity and greater rate of fire. It generates such a hail of projectiles that even heavy armour is not fully proof against the weight of firepower these weapons can produce.{{Fn|6}}
