'''Lightning Guns''' are [[Great Crusade]] -era weapons used by various [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] troops, most notably [[Thallax]].{{Fn|1}}
This aptly named weapon takes the form of a baroquely designed carbine connected to a micro-reactor or power core. It fires an ionizing [[laser weaponry|las-beam]] along with a powerful phased discharge of electromagnetic particles. The ensuing effect makes the weapon able to overload mechanical targets in addition to its effectiveness against organic enemies.{{Fn|1}}
