Flechette Blasters are a type of weapon used by Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii. A very interesting weapon, it occupies its own unique little page as it is a specialised form of Galvanic Weapon. A lightweight but lethal firearm, it is the favoured tool of Sicarian Infiltrators. This silenced weapon fires hundreds of tiny darts, each of which bears a dormant cell awakened in the gun's chamber. Where one dart hits, it emits a homing beacon that attracts others, resulting in a series of impacts that burrow through bone.
