Shuriken Catapult

The Shuriken Catapult
"The Storm Of Blades"

The Eldar are Famous for their widespread use of Shuriken Weaponry. These weapons, from the smallest pistol to the larger, Skimmer mounted Cannons seen on the Wave Serpents, War Walkers, Fire Prisms, Falcons, Vypers and Jetbikes of the Eldar army are the mainstay of the Eldar armoury, being usable in almost every situation. The most common troop type in the Eldar army, the Dire Avenger, use the Shuriken catapult as their main weapon.

Weapon Breakdown
The Shuriken Catapult uses ammunition made of Plasti-Crystal, the rear of the weapon creates high energy impulses which fly through the barrel of the weapon at an enourmous speed, slicing off a piece of ammunition a molecule thick. The resulting Shuriken is catapulted from the weapons barrel. This method allows the weapon to realease a hundred bladed disks in a few seconds. The Ammunition is also occasionally laced with poison.
