Lightning Guns are, seemingly confusingly, a type of laser weapons used by the AdMech, which given some varied fluff can prompt [[Skub|debate]] as to how much of a laser or electromagnetic weapon they are. Depending on the description they're either a laser beam wreathed in lightning (read: an ionised laser beam) as a form of electrolaser with most of the killing power from the pew pew lasers, or they fire a laser as a [[Tau|markerlight]] to change the polarity/ionise the location on the target and cause a bolt of lightning to leap to it. This may seem dumb at first glance, but with the Ad Mech's usual technobullshitium it makes sense. At least compared to the [[Needler]], which has a similar design of 'laser beam then killing shot' but doesn't make sense even once you try to explain it.

Either way, they're Great Crusade era weapons used by various Adeptus Mechanicus troops, most notably [[Thallax]], with the ability to provide effective damage against organic enemies and yet still able to overload mechanical targets like tanks via electromagnetic damage. Or alternatively depending on how you take the above they're good at overloading mechanical targets like tanks via electromagnetic damage yet still able to clear out meatbags with the laser burns.
