Lascannon

The powerful lascannon is one of the favorite anti-tank weapons of the Imperial Guard. Its high strength and armor-piercing ability make it a formidable weapon and when it is used in twin-linked mounts, it becomes even more deadly. However, it is very heavy and power-consuming, hence is usually installed on tanks or Sentinel platforms, and two-man teams are able to operate and carry around a single lascannon. To accommodate the increased power output, the lascannon has become the largest man-portable form of the lasgun, the barrel being several times larger in diameter and length. Space Marines also make extensive use of the lascannon; it is used in heavy weapon squads (Devastators), Dreadnoughts, Predator Annihilators, and Land Raiders.
