The Shuriken catapult is an Eldar weapon that fires shurikens a single molecule thick at great speed using a "Magnetic Repulsor". Shuriken catapults are able to fire up to a hundred rounds of ammunition in a burst of one or two seconds. The downside of this firing mechanism is the lack of rifling on the barrel, which significantly reduces accuracy, therefore reducing it's minimum range to one well under that of it's Imperial counterparts.
