===Multi-Melta===

Different from other commonly Heavy weapons such as the Heavy Bolter and the Heavy Flamer, the heavier version of the Meltagun is not called Heavy Melta.

The Multi-Melta is essentially two Meltaguns strapped together and supercharged. In game terms, this only doubles the (''already sucky'') range and makes it a heavy weapon; how taping two things together makes them shoot farther rather than just twice as hard is unclear. Perhaps whatever energy directs and compresses the beams combines or compliments, giving a boost. Due to the size and especially weight, Multi-Meltas are usually mounted on vehicles rather than carried. The Leman Russ Demolisher may have them mounted by the sponsons, while the Land Raider Crusader may mount one on its pintle; the weapon fits seamlessly with both vehicles' emphasis on short-range firepower. The Immolator may choose to replace its Twin-Linked Heavy Flamers or Twin-Linked Heavy Bolters with a Twin-Linked Multi-Melta. Due to its satisfactory effectiveness when arrayed against armor and monsters as well as the improved effective range, many other vehicles of the Imperium also have them mounted such as Razorbacks, Land Speeders, Dreadnoughts, and even on the sidecar of Attack Bikes. Because Multi-Meltas are so heavy, the [[Imperial Guard]] do not employ them without vehicles. By merit of wearing Power Armour, [[Space Marines]] and [[Sisters of Battle]] – emphasis on the Sisters of Battle – can afford to carry them around. [[Thallax|Thallaxes]] in particular, being quite larger than Astartes, carry them around normally – that is, not bulky, and/or not with the universally cool chainsaw grip.

As of 9th edition, they fire two shots, which probably makes more sense.

It is unknown whether efficiency for other Melta weapons can be improved in this manner. Imagine a really big cylinder filled with Meltaguns... [[Melta#Cyclonic_Melta_Lance|Oh, wait a minute-]]
