===Kroot Rifle===

The Kroot Rifle is the basic weapon used by the Kroot. It works by firing a solid slug propelled by a chemical reaction, although it was adapted by the Tau to fire Pulse rounds to make it the equivalent to the [[Astartes Boltgun|Boltgun.]]

It is armed with blades near the muzzle and stock and are a throwback to earlier Kroot Fighting Staves, allowing them to use their speed to tear close in on their opponents in close combat. It is still quite bulky however, and so is not ever combined with another weapon, although it doesn't often need to be.

In 8th Edition, the Kroot Rifle is a relatively mid-ranged 24" weapon. However, it is an Rapid Fire 1 gun that is S4, AP0 and deals 1 damage per gun. It should be enough to deal with GEQs, however, it would struggle against MEQs. What is unique about this weapon is that ALL Kroot Rifles are also adept melee weapons as well. On a charge or in CQC, the Rifle is a S+1 (So a S4 weapon), AP0, D1 hatchet. So in a group, these guns become quite dangerous if the dice gods are in your favour.

Other versions of the Kroot Rifle are the Kroot gun and Kroot hunting rifle as seen below.
