No other article questions why a unit doesn't use more upgrade/special weapons. (As an aside, ruleswise, multi-melta is either less accurate, or Heavy instead of Assault, depending on edition.)

[[File:MeltaRifle.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Melta Rifle{{Fn|1}}]]
'''Melta Rifles''' are a type of [[Melta Weapon]] used by [[Primaris]] [[Eradicator Squad]]s.{{Fn|1}} An even larger version of the variant rifle exists, known as the '''Heavy Melta Rifle'''{{Fn|3}}. This is powered by a cable linking directly to the user's [[Power Armour]].{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}} ''Why'' an Eradicator would ever carry a Melta Rifle rather than a Multi-melta is not clear, as their [[Gravis Pattern|Gravis armour]] makes any weight difference meaningless, and the exact differences in the performances of the two weapons has not been explored clearly in any citable sources.
