Lasgun

The lasgun is the standard-issue weapon for all Imperial Guardsmen.). . It uses a small portable power pack to produce a focused pinpoint laser plasma beam which is hot enough to burn most materials and cauterise human flesh. The Lasgun is effective when used en masse, but considerably less effective when used singly.



The standard Cadia pattern lasgun, as used by most regiments of the imperial guard,has many attachments including (but not limited to) several types of scope, bayonet, lazer sight and flash light.

Many regiments of the imperial guard have aesthetically different lasguns to match the rest of the regiments equipment and to allow manufacture on planets with limited resources or production capabilities. Despite this the main mechanism remains the same in almost all regiments to make supplying multi-regiment armies a lot easier.

Offshoots of this weapon include the more compact Laspistol, the anti-armour Lascannon and the more powerful and expensive Hellgun.
