'''Splinter Weaponry''' are the primary weapon type used by [[Dark Eldar]] forces.{{Fn|2}}
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, resulting in thousands of tiny splinters, and then launching them at incredible speeds towards an enemy using propulsion provided by an electro-magnetic pulse from the gun.{{Fn|2}} Upon impact, Splinter weapons cause agonizing pain in the target which makes it a favorite amongst Dark Eldar infantry. It is not uncommon for Dark Eldar to become addicted to the distorted grimaces of pain made by the ammunitiontargets of splinter weaponry.{{Fn|12}}
