==Overview==
The name of the weapon derived from the term '''"the force"''', which is commonly used for psyching energy and its use.{{Fn|4a}} Force weapons effectively act as deadly, psychic extensions of the wielder's own powers. They are designed to allow a psyker to channel deadly [[warp ]] energies into their victim, acting as a conduit between the wielder's mind and the flesh of their target.{{Fn|16}}{{Fn|17}}{{Fn|18b}}
Large [[xenos|alien]] monstrosities and [[daemon]]s that are resilient to conventional weapons can be slain outright by a single wound, as their bodies and minds are destroyed by the unearthly powers of the Immaterium.{{Fn|16}}{{Fn|17}}
