[[File:Elysian Drop Troop Weapons.jpg|right|thumb|Elysian Drop Troop weapons]]
The standard weapon of the Elysian Drop Trooper is the [[Lasgun#Accatran Pattern MkIV|Accatran pattern, mark IV]] [[Lasgun]], a lightweight 'bullpup' design with the power cell positioned behind the handle to save on weight and space for additional equipment. It uses a standard power pack and operates in the 19 megathule range, allowing for fifty shots, and has a built-in flashlight. However, the weapon is restricted to semi-automatic fire only in order to prevent waste and conserve ammunition. This model of lasgun doesn't feature a bayonet lug so if engaged in close combat, Elysian guardsmen must switch to their standard 40cm combat blade.{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|2b}} A variant known as the [[Lasgun#Accatran Pattern MkIVc|Mk IVc]] includes a single-shot [[auxiliary grenade launcher]] firing [[Krak grenade]]s underneath the main barrel; it is typically issued to officers and NCOs for additional squad support firepower.{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|2b}} A third variant known as the [[Lasgun#Accatran Pattern MkIVe|Mk IVe]] is a sniper weapon with an elongated barrel, flash suppressor and integral low-light scope.{{Fn|2b}}
