Once locked on to, there is nowhere for an Eliminator's prey to hide. Each member of the squad carries spare magazines filled with special ammunition, tailored for every eventuality. Hyperfrag rounds detonate in a shower of shrapnel, Executioner rounds are sophisticated self-guided missiles slaved to a miniaturized cogitator that can seek their target from behind cover, while mortis rounds spew self-replicating mutagenic toxins into the flesh of a target.{{Fn|1}} ==Sources==*{{Endn|1}}: [[Codex: Vanguard Space Marines (8th Edition)]], pg.7*{{Endn|2}}: [[Space Marine II]] - Armoury[[Category:Weapons (Space Marines)]][[Category:Weapons (Bolt)]]{{SMWeapons}}
