{{Trivia}}
*While the exact mechanism of either '''disintegration weapons''' or [[Eradication Beamer]]s are not explained, there is strong evidence of latter being the former. Both weapons are described as being "beams of energy", "severing the (internal/molecular) bonds of matter", and "reducing a target to atoms". Thus is it is very likely the Eradication Beamer is a disintegration weapon, if in function at the least.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|4}}
*Disintegration guns were introduced into the setting in 1985 with the release of the [[Space Marines#Development History|LE2 Imperial Space Marine]].{{Fn|8}}
