Astra Militarum Weapons List

'The Ash-pattern Lasgun originates from Metalica. An improvement on the lasgun featuring a setting for a three laser burst, the lasgun pattern is highly favored among the 76th Cadian for its versatility. However, it was also renowned for its limited armor penetration, between the level of a standard Cadian M36 Kantrael Pattern Lasgun and a Hotshot Lasgun or Hellgun. Having enough improved penetration to fire through thin armor, especially with the three laser burst setting, the weapon was perfect for handling the renegades and heretics, along with feral orks, that the regiment was often assigned to deal with. A simple modification with a sniper scope and barrel switch turns the Ash-pattern Lasgun into an Ash-pattern Long-Las, a devastating sniper weapon much deadlier than the typical Long-Las and perfect for picking off enemy commanders or engaging its longer ranged three laser burst to cut down several targets simultaneously. A powerful shot from an Ash-pattern Long-Las has sometimes been enough to shoot a hole through lightly armored vehicles. When the Long-Las or Lasgun is not enough however, the Cadian 76th has no few supply of meltaguns, plasmaguns, flamers, and other mortal weaponry to smite the foes of the God-Emperor.'
