===Avenger Catapult===

An improved version of the Shuriken Catapult carried by the [[Dire Avengers]], it features an extended barrel, additional power feeds, in-built rangefinders, a greater firing range and more sophisticated targeting systems. Come 9th Edition however, and the regular Shuriken Catapult received the same range, so to further differentiate it from the Avenger, the latter was given a better AP value (-2 instead of -1) and firing rate (Assault 3 instead of 2), bringing to the tabletop the accuracy and rate of fire that previously hadn't been represented.

As stated above, they are the weapon of choice of the Dire Avengers [[Aspect Warriors]], who use them in semi-automatic mode most of the time. However, in the heat of an assault or a close-range firefight, the weapon's full automatic mode can empty its magazine in just four seconds - at 1,500 rounds per minute, it means that it has enough ammo for 100 shots, which is about the same number of rounds you can squeeze out of the average [[Lasgun]]'s power pack.

[[Asurmen]], the Phoenix Lord of the Dire Avengers, carries a pair of twin-linked Avenger Catapults on his wrists, showing the other races how to do [[Dakka]].
