If Shuriken weapons are the Eldar of Bolt weapons, then the Eldar Laser Weapons are the Eldar equivalent of Las weapons. Using concentrated light to deal damage to their target, the Eldar laser weapons are more advanced than their Imperial counterparts, trading raw, balls-out power for being more effective against armored targets. They are most often used on the Eldar's grav vehicles, on heavy weapon platforms, and by the Swooping Hawk and Shining Spear Aspect Warriors.
Ranger Long Rifle
Used by the Rangers, the Long Rifle is an advanced sniper rifle outfitted with top-notch stabilising systems and powerful sights, allowing the user to pinpoint the weak spots on any enemy.
Lasblaster
The primary weapon of the Swooping Hawks Aspect Warriors, the Lasblaster is a low-power handheld energy weapon capable of dealing significant damage over a considerable distance. Though it might lack the punch of the shuriken catapult, the Lasblaster makes up for this with its superior range. Slightly better than the flashlight of the Imperium.
Hawk's Talon
The Lasblaster's big brother, the Hawk's Talon is a much more powerful weapon, capable of shooting blasts of far greater power.
Sunrifle
A Lasblaster with a higher rate of fire, the Sunrifle is capable of slaying entire squads of enemies in a single laser rave.
Laser Lance
The traditional weapon of the Shining Spears, the Laser Lance is a long polearm capable of shooting intense bursts of energy more than capable of killing a man where he stands, and might even damage an enemy tank. They are short-ranged and rather unwieldy, making them good for only a few shots when charging the enemy.
Star Lance
The Star Lance is an upgraded Laser Lance, with a far higher damage output and is capable of cutting through even the toughest of tanks.
Bright Lance
The Eldar equivalent of the Lascannon, the Bright Lance might not be as powerful or long-ranged as the Lascannon, but it more than makes up for this by being able to cut through even the toughest of armor with ease. Often found on grav-tanks and gun platforms.
Scatter Laser
Multilasers, as used by the Eldar. They have a high strength and rate of fire, but have a somewhat lacking effectiveness against armor.
Pulse Laser
The primary weapon of the Falcon, it is a more dakka Bright Lance, at the cost of effectiveness against armor.
Prism Cannon
Lasers utilising large crystals to fire massive blasts of energy. Very long ranged, highly accurate and capable of combining their blasts into a single shot capable of ripping Terminators inside out.
Vibro Cannon
A peculiar weapon, the Vibro Cannon builds up a charge inside itself, and then lets it fly to rip things (and people) apart. The Vibro Cannon uses multiple successive devastating sonic blasts to kill things, so the longer it stays on a target the more dead it becomes. Comparable to the weapons used by the Noise Marines, except they use a single note or riff, instead of killing the enemy with dubstep. This weapon's name makes it sound approximately like something the Noise Marines would use, though don't tell an Eldar that...
