Added some information regarding silver tips, firing while moving, etc.
'''Psycannons''' are weapons utilized by the [[Ordo Malleus]] and [[Grey Knights]]. It uses They are based on bolt weapons, replacing the bolt warheads with psychically impregnated bolts which silver tips. They are primarily useful against psychic creatures such as [[daemon]]s. Each bolt is inscribed with anti-daemonic symbols. A Grey Knight Terminator armed with a psycannon can fire it at full effect even when on the move.
The Psycannon can also be used in conjunction with a device called a [[Bionics#MIU|Mind Impulse Unit]]. The Psycannon is linked to the mind of the user and is fired by mental intent. This has the advantages of allowing the user to fire the weapon while keeping both hands free, and allowing the user a greater intimacy with his weapons internal workings, such as ammunition count or barrel temperature. Also, if the user is a psyker, they can infuse their own power with that of the weapon, adding to its already devastating effect.
