==Ranged Weapons==
===Raijin Pattern Bolter Weapons/Kaminari Guns===
Raijin is a name for a terrifying spirit that is attributed with lightning among the people of the Yamato Sub-Sector. It is said that the fury of this spirit is so great that instead of calling him Raijin, they call him Kaminari-Sama (trans: Lightning Lord). If they didn’t, then he’d enact judgement in the form of a lightning bolt and take away people’s belly buttons. Another interpretation would be that the Raijin is an extension of the Kami Emperor’s will, and that it taking away people’s belly buttons may be seen that the person somehow offended the Emperor.

The Rising Sons are a little superstitious in these situations, and in order to not anger both the Kami and the lightning spirit (and have their belly buttons taken away) they decided to create weapons that would reflect the Raijin’s nature.

The Raijin Pattern Bolt Weapons (also known as Kaminari Guns) are the result of the Son’s years of studies and technological trials and errors. These weapons have a more enhanced auto-loading system and built in targeting mechanism from STC the marines managed to uncover during their first two centuries since their founding. All of this combined with greatly above marvelous craftsmanship. While being fired, Kaminari Guns sound like thunderstorms with each bolt round fired.

Because of this, Kaminari Guns are very difficult and take a very long time to produce. Thus only the Chapter’s Veteran members are granted these weapons after their introduction into the 1st Company.

===Dragon Fury Flamers===
Dragon Fury Flamers are a product of need when the Chapter fought Tyranids for the first time.

Utilizing a bizarre concoction made out of blessed promethium and plant substances the marines mixed into it, this resulted in an even more volatile, hard to extinguish pyrogel that is also incredibly sticky. 

Enemies hit by something like this are burned alive while trying to remove the sticky substance. This is especially useful against Tyranids, as the gel goes inside the smaller creatures’ spaces between their carapaces, literally cooking them inside their own armours.

However, due to the difficulty in which the Rising Sons can acquire the substance that grants the devastating capabilities of the Flamers, these weapons are utilized by the Veterans after their introduction into the 1st Company. Though some of the Chapter's vehicles are equipped with these weapons.
