Coil Weapons: Squats have long worked and experimented with magnetism, a useful science to invest oneself into when one works with metal and electricity so frequently. Whereas the Tau's experiments into magnetic projectiles lead them down the path of railguns, the Squats wanted a weapon less temperamental, finding that the swift process of wearing that Railguns undergo made them undesirable. The coil gun, which operates under similar principles if different methods; proved to be more to their liking. Very capable of penetrating through armor, though their small projectile size meant that they impart little of their kinetic energy into a target, though it also means that they have rather manageable recoil, easily allowing the stout squats to fire them on the move.

• Coil Pistol Type: Pistol 1, Range: 18", Strength: 4, AP: -3, Damage: 1, Special: On a to-wound roll of six, this weapon deals 2 damage rather than 1. Additionally, it may re-roll to-wound rolls against vehicles.

Shot Weapons: Squats do regularly use simple ballistic weapons like other more primitive races do, however their mastery of metals allows them to use materials much more exotic than lead or copper for their projectiles. Their standard military armament incorporates weapons that fire high-density buckshot at their opponent with a high degree of short range stopping power yet little risk of collateral damage to starship internals or cavern walls.

Seismic Weapons: Seismic weapons are a type of construction equipment used by squat miners. However, it is also utilized as a weapon in some cases. The distinctive pronged muzzle of a seismic cannon sends out pulsed bow waves of sonic force that can shiver a basilica wall into rubble or turn the internal organs of living targets to mush.

Fusion Projectors Fusion Projectors are remarkable flame based weapons that are both more elegant and potent than the flamers wielded by the other species of the galaxy. They can be used to incinerate a swath of targets like a regular flamer or focus their jet into a searing cutting arc. Fusion Projectors come in five sizes of both increasing power and energy consumption. Wielders of such weapons can choose to fire one of two profiles.
