hellgun
The Hot-Shot Lasgun or Hellgun is an enhanced version of the standard Lasgun used by the Imperial Guard and the Skitarii of the Adeptus Mechanicus. It is commonly issued to Imperial special forces units such as Storm Troopers for its superior armor-penetrating capabilities. Known as either a Hellgun or Hot-shot Lasgun, these high-energy weapons are more potent and destructive than common Lasguns, drawing on external energy sources for a more penetrative shot, but also more complex, requiring reinforced barrels, thermal-cooling cells and gyro-stabilized power packs.
