==Hand-Held Grav-Weapons== ===Grav-Pistol=== [[File:Grav-Pistol_2.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Grav-Pistol]] The smallest of the grav-weapons and comparable to Plasma Pistols in terms of how often people use them. Its effect is not quite as powerful as that of its larger counterparts, but it can still do enormous damage to targets possessed of a large mass. Like all Grav-weaponry, the Grav-Pistol fires a stream of graviton particles which affects the local gravitational field of a target area, making the targeted object either far heavier or lighter depending on the weapon's setting. <center> {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: white;" |+ class="nowrap" style="white-space: nowrap"|'''Profile''' |- | {{40k-Ranged-Weapon-Profile-7-8-9|r7=12|s7=-|ap7=2|type7=Pistol|abil7=Concussive, Graviton|r8=12|s8=5|ap8=-3|type8=Pistol 1|d8=1|abil8=Becomes D3 damage vs. targets with armor save of 3+ or better.|r9=12|s9=5|ap8=-3|type9=Pistol 1|d9=1|abil9=Becomes 2 damage vs. targets with armor save of 3+ or better.}} |} </center> {{clear}} === Grav-Gun === [[File:Grav-Gun.png|200px|right|thumb|Grav-Gun]] The middle sized of the Grav Weapons. This medium-sized Grav-weapon utilizes the "gravitic" reaction principle most commonly seen powering grav-vehicles such as the Land Speeder. Each gun is a rare relic left over from the Dark Age of Technology and are now sacredly guarded by the Adeptus Mechanicus, and very rarely will they allow one to leave their armoires, but some Space Marine Chapters still field a handful of such weapons. The effect is generally non-lethal and can be used to incapacitate foes who need to be captured alive, but the power of the Grav-gun's highest settings is sufficient to rupture organs and crack bones even inside armour. Some living targets will be affected more variably; a very large creature may be killed under excessive weight, but most targets will either be slowed or completely immobilized. <center> {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: white;" |+ class="nowrap" style="white-space: nowrap"|'''Profile''' |- | {{40k-Ranged-Weapon-Profile-7-8-9|r7=18|s7=-|ap7=2|type7=Salvo 2/3|abil7=Concussive, Graviton|r8=18|s8=5|ap8=-3|type8=Rapid Fire 1|d8=1|abil8=Becomes D3 damage vs. targets with armour save of 3+ or better.|r9=18|s9=5|ap8=-3|type9=Rapid Fire 1|d9=1|abil9=Becomes 2 damage vs. targets with armour save of 3+ or better.}} |} </center> {{clear}} === Grav-Cannon === [[File:Grav_Cannon.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Grav-Cannon]] The biggest of the Grav Weapons fielded by space marines, Grav-Cannons are carried by [[devastator squad]]s and [[centurion squad|devastator centurions]]. The Power of the Graviton Cannon is sufficient to rupture organs and crack bones even inside armour, but its primary use is to counter enemy machinery without the risk of secondary explosions. Graviton Cannons have also been seen mounted on [[Rapier Armoured Carrier|Rapiers as well.]] Standard devastators can now take them too as of recent updates. Space Marine Chapters are among the few warriors of the Imperium to be gifted with the use of Grav-weaponry let alone the Grav-Cannon, and it is considered a sacred responsibility to wield such a potent weapon. <center> {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: white;" |+ class="nowrap" style="white-space: nowrap"|'''Profile''' |- | {{40k-Ranged-Weapon-Profile-7-8-9|r7=24|s7=-|ap7=2|type7=Salvo 3/5|abil7=Concussive, Graviton|r8=24|s8=5|ap8=-3|type8=Heavy 4|d8=1|abil8=Becomes D3 damage vs. targets with armour save of 3+ or better.|r9=30|s9=5|ap8=-3|type9=Heavy 4|d9=1|abil9=Becomes 2 damage vs. targets with armour save of 3+ or better.}} |} </center> {{clear}} === Heavy Grav-Cannon === [[File:Heavy_Graviton_Cannon_(Kataphron).jpg|200px|right|thumb|Heavy Grav-Cannon]] The bigger, blacker Grav-Cannon, for [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] of course. This things can turn a tank inside out or turn the METHUL BAWKS into a even smaller and boxier METHUL BAWKS. Such is the Heavy Grav-Cannon that it is seen as a serious threat to even superheavy vehicles such as the [[Baneblade]] and its dozen brothers or even [[Imperial Knight|Imperial Knights]]. Space Marine Chapters are among the few warriors of the Imperium to be gifted with the use of Grav-weaponry let alone the Heavy Grav-Cannon, and it is considered a sacred responsibility to wield such a potent weapon. At 30' range and salvo 4/6, it could make Wraithknights cry. As of 8th, the Heavy Grav-Cannon will outright delete any MEQ infantry - AP-3 will fuck over anything with a 2+/3+ save (Invulns are still a problem, though), and that D3 damage against units with said save is nasty against single-wound models. <center> {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: white;" |+ class="nowrap" style="white-space: nowrap"|'''Profile''' |- | {{40k-Ranged-Weapon-Profile-7-8-9|r7=30|s7=-|ap7=2|type7=Salvo 4/6|abil7=Concussive, Graviton|r8=30|s8=5|ap8=-3|type8=Heavy 5|d8=1|abil8=Becomes D3 damage vs. targets with armour save of 3+ or better.|r9=30|s9=5|ap8=-3|type9=Heavy 5|d9=1|abil9=Becomes 2 damage vs. targets with armour save of 3+ or better.}} |} </center> {{clear}} === Grav-Amp === [[File:Grav-Amp.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Grav-Amp]] A piece of specialist wargear that allows any grav-weapons being used in the same squad as the model holding it to re-roll failed wounds and vehicle damage (i.e. gain Shred). Large enough to rival even a Grav-Cannon. The Grav-Amp is a wonder of ancient technology all by itself as it focuses the field of a users Grav-Weapon, further amplifying the already devastating affects of a Grav-weapon due to its unique gravitational lens, hence its name, the Grav-Amp. It is often wielded by Centurions who are big and strong enough to wield a Grav-Cannon with ease, which in itself can be upgraded into a Grav-Amp. In fact, it seems that only Grav-Cannons are big enough to allow a secondary attachment such as the Grav-Amp to act a as a force multiplier. A better view of the Grav-Amp can be seen on the Grav-Cannon image. It is the weird looking lens below the barrel of the Grav-Cannon. As of 8e, it no longer has any affect whatsoever and just comes built into the Grav-Cannon.
