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.
Think of it like freezing water in a crack to break something bit by bit. The darts smash into the opening made or started by the first one, wedging more and more darts in to break open the target and the whole mess presses ever deeper.
In terms of tabletop, these nasty little pistols are available on the Infiltrators paired with a Taser Goad. It's got rather low strength at S3, but 5 (FIVE!) shots means it packs almost as much punch as a rapid-firing bolter, while being fireable in melee. Overall, it is a rather meh weapon that obviously suffers against enemy with decent armour. So stay clear from MEQs and above.

Flechette Blaster
Fleschette Carbine
The Fleschette Carbine is the Flechette Blaster's bigger brother. Longer and more streamlined than their handheld cousins, the Fleschette Carbine offers superior range and handling. These rifles are the primary weapon of the Pteraxii Skystalkers, who use these weapons to snipe enemy commanders in the air.
On the tabletop, the Flechette Carbines are essentially a death with a thousand cuts. With a 24" range, the Fleschette Carbines are an Assault 5, S3, AP0, D1 weapon; it ain't a anti-tank weapon as its primary function is reducing light infantry like Termagaunts into Tyranid mince pie. For anti-armor purposes, the Skystalkers are instead, armed with a cluster of Arc Grenades which metaphorically shits their enemies to death.
