The production of some more unusual and unspecified Imperial heavy las weaponry utilizes [[prismata crystals]] in their manufacturing process. Because of this, these red glowing crystals are expensive and highly sought after in order to make lucrative sales to the right buyers.{{Fn|4}}
===Charge PackAmmunition==={{main|Power Pack}}[[File:Lasgun and charge pack.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[Lasgun ]] and a spare charge pack{{Fn|9a}}]]'''Charge packs''', also called '''las-packs'''{{Fn|9c}} or '''power packs''',{{Fn|8}} are the ammunition power source for many Imperial las weapons.{{Fn|9a}} [[Hotshot Laser Power Pack|Hotshot laser power pack]]s are an alternate form of power pack used for hot-shot las weapons. Some trade-offs for the increased power is a bulkier pack that is more stressful on the gun.{{Fn|9b}} They are also more expensive to make and harder to charge.{{Fn|}} A major advantage of las weapons within the Imperium is the rechargeable power cells of their charge packs. Las charge packs can be refilled by connecting them to most Imperial Standard power sockets. These can also be recharged through exposure to light, heat, and even naked flame, however, doing so shortens the pack's lifespan and risks upsetting the weapon's [[machine spirit]].{{Fn|9a}} Placing a these power packs around a campfire overnight is an old Guardsman trick that can recharge a few extra shots overnight. Some of the more puritanical [[tech-adept]]s readily decry this unsanctioned behaviour, as placing power packs dangerously close to a campfire risks damaging the valuable internal components.{{Fn|8}} The [[Industrial World]] of [[Capriac]] is dedicated solely to producing Mk 18 high-yield lasgun cells.{{Fn|10}}
