The most commonly seen example of darklight weaponry is the Dark Lance. Similar in construction to the Bright Lance of their [[Eldar]] cousin's forces, a Dark Lance is redesigned to allow for the use of darklight ammunition. It's commonly found mounted on Raiders and Ravagers, although [[Kabalite Warrior]]s are seen carrying them across the battlefield as well. The device uses magnetic containment and stabilization fields to prevent the darklight from damaging the weapon or its user. The darklight is accelerated very rapidly down the barrel by these same containment fields. Upon making contact with its target, it reacts very violently, tearing through armor regardless of thickness or composition, and in the event of the Dark Lances use on infantry, it's incredibly rare that any sign of the unfortunate target is left whatsoever.{{Fn|2}}
Larger versions of Dark Lance's are sometimes used on Dark Eldar warships.{{Fn|3a}}
