A '''Power Fist''' is much as its name states. It is simply a fist shaped gauntlet surrounded by an energy field that distrupts solid matter. It is large, and as such slow in combat, and so the bearer must be willing to take damage before they can strike back.
The benefits of the power fist are that they increase the users strength, much like [[power armourPower Armour]] due to the extra power put in by the electronics designed to allow it to move.
It is most commonly found fitted to [[Space Marine]] [[Terminator Armour|Tactical Dreadnought Armour]]. Officers from the [[Imperial Guard]] may also take them, bionically grafted onto their skin.
