Because the regular railgun wasn't enough for putting down the really big targets (like [[Titan (Warhammer 40,000)|Titan]]s), the Earth Caste developed the '''Heavy Railgun''' (110", SD, AP1) for their super-heavy vehicles. It was originally designed to blow up ''space ships'', as Tau never expected anyone to be stupid or crazy enough to build a big enough land-based vehicle to justify this weapon's use against it.

Then they encountered Ork gargants and Imperium titans, and figured out that most inhabitants of the Galaxy aren't sane or reasonable. The [[Manta]] mounts two of these, while the [[Tiger Shark AX-1-0]] mounts a twin-linked pair. Like the Hammerhead railgun, the heavy railgun can fire a pie-plate for destroying massed infantry formations, but the heavy railgun's submunitions are [[rape|S7 AP3 and the blast is 10" across.]]
