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 Weapons|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.

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 [[MEQ]]s and above.

2001:8003:3895:3A00:B9D6:E3E3:9160:360A: When this is compared in looks with the Galvanic Rifles and rules with the Galvanic Caster, it clearly shows this is basically a Galvanic Shotpistol

Multilaser

2001:8003:3895:3A00:B9D6:E3E3:9160:360A: /* Multilasers and C.S.Goto */

[[Image:Multilaser.jpg|thumb|right|A multilaser, notably this one looks like a mod somebody made to a Predator's lascannon sponson, but it's actually just how they appear on Sentinels.]]
Multilasers are the standard armament of the [[Imperial Guard]] [[Chimera]] transport. They're basically a Hellgun modded with [[Dakka|multiple barrels]] and bulked up to the point where it's firing a fairly powerful beam with a [[PROMOTIONS|high firing rate]]. It's a pretty good weapon against just about anything that isn't heavy armor (especially infantry with shitty armor, light vehicles, and skimmers), though like most Imperial Guard anti-infantry weapons, the Multilaser's armor-piercing capability is pretty weak. It's still a good enough weapon to threaten squads with, which is a big reason that it's the weapon of choice for Imperial Guard APCs, Walkers, and some Valkyrie assault craft. But mostly Chimeras, due to being an excellent suppression weapon to cover dismounted troop squads with (not that the game has mechanics for suppression except from sniper fire). In the game [[Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior|Fire Warrior]], they are also occasionally used as weapon emplacements. To help you visualize what a multilaser is like, we point you to the gatling laser of Fallout fame, then imagine it bigger, higher power, and lower rate of fire more similar to a machine gun. Since it has such high power, but low armour piercing, it probably fires multiple beams at the same time or wide dispersed beams, or either depending on the specific model. If there was a rule 63 (solid-projectile) counterpart, it would be something like a machinegun-like Assault Cannon knock-off or a Heavi''er'' Stubber with explosive rounds.

==Multilasers and C.S.Goto==
The Multilaser is, by and large, unique to the Imperial Guard; sadly this has not stopped [[C.S.Goto|a certain Black Irish leper]] from completely disregarding everything remotely resembling [[canon]] and [[FAIL|cramming them onto absolutely everything]] due to his raging [[Gay|hardon]] for the damned things. As of so far, [[AIDS|Goto]] has managed to [[FATAL|rape]] canon in more than a dozen ways using this weapon alone, including giving them to [[Indrick Boreale|Space Marines]] and mounting them on [[Land Raider]]s (and not out of desperation either, this was the chapter's normal crusade-ready loadout).

And now [[Forge World]] has jumped on the bandwagon by letting Marines in 30k take Rotor Cannons, which are Multilasers but somehow [[What|worse]].
