The standard type, firing razor-sharp monomolecular discs capable of slicing through flesh and penetrating a considerable thickness of [[plasteel]] armour. [[Human]]s sometimes refer to these weapons as star slingers or just slingers or sling guns, while its Eldar name is ''tuelean''.{{Fn|2}} The shuriken catapult is the basic weapon of the [[Guardian]]s, the citizen-militia of the [[Craftworld]]s, and is incorporated to certain other systems such as [[Eldar Jetbike]]s.{{Fn|1}}

*In 1987's [[Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader]], a Shuriken Catapult appeared that was different to their modern appearance. It possessed two polar fins (and sometimes additional fins) positioned laterally near its muzzle, which were the source of the magnetic vortex accelerating discs from a flat and circular magazine extension (most commonly situated horizontally, but sometimes positioned vertically).{{Fn|4}} This design was referenced in the 2025 novel ''[[Archmagos (Novel)|Archmagos]] '' as a design dating back to the [[War in Heaven (Necron)|War in Heaven]].{{Fn|6}}
