A pair of Flechette Dischargers mounted on the prow of a T'au Devilfish
A Flechette Discharger is a T'au vehicle support system that consists of powerful clusters of reactive charges attached to the prow of the vehicle.
If an enemy moves into close proximity of the vehicle, the dischargers automatically fire off clouds of high velocity flechettes which often prove to be lethal against the would-be attacker. XV107 R'varna Battlesuits are also equipped with Flechette Dischargers.
Flechette Dispersal Pods are a variant of the vehicle mounted Flechette Discharger, and are equipped on XV109 Y'vahra Battlesuits. Flechette Dispersal Pods differ in that they can be triggered to fire at nearby enemies by the Battlesuit pilot, even if they are not actively assaulting the XV109.
