	By the power of ~~lance~~ and ~~melta~~ technology combined here is <strike>~~captain planet~~</strike> a meltagun with better range, less strength, and effin' LANCE. About any tank will blow up the second this looks at it in the face (or at least get glanced to death). Thus, it is one of the few weapons found in both the Melta and Las category pages. As a bonus they're cheaper than ~~dark lances~~ and are available to your jump troops: take four in a squad of ~~scourges~~ to make heavies cry.

	In a sense, a Heat Lance, instead of dispersing the obscene heat that most melta weapons should in order to cover as much as area as possible, the Heat Lance on the other hand, would actually focus the discharged superheated gas into a focus point like a laser; intensifying its ~~armor~~ penetration to puncture even the toughest of ~~armor~~. As with every melta weapon, the ~~heat lance~~ has short range but is extremely devastating.

	An advanced variant of the Prism Rifle used by Shadow Spectre [[Exarch]]s. The Prism Blaster is similar to a Prism Rifle but with a longer barrel that further focuses and refines the weapon's beam to provide even greater range with a more powerful beam. Basically speaking, it is a upgrade of the Prism Rifle in every way. Of course this is no surprise given that it is a Exarch weapon and thus, it is bound to be better than its predecessor in almost every way.

	In 9th Edition. These are one of your longer ranged weapons at 24", it's an Assault D6 S4 AP-1 D1 weapon designed for your vehicles and Jetbikes. Instead of the 2+ Glancing Hits of 7th, Haywire now means it causes one Mortal Wound to a vehicle on a 4+ and D3 on a 6+. Now a dedicated anti-armor weapon, and can dish out some serious hurt even on T9 heavies. Save a command re-roll for turns when you need to maximize your damage output. Its a good weapon, sadly its still unpredictable. Against T7 or less, expect 2-3 wounds inflicted, T8 or more maybe one of two. Best when used in volume and concentrated blasts, so unleash multiple cannons all at once. If you roll hot and snag multiple sixes you can outdo a lascannon, but this is not an army that compensates for randomness well... Still, if you play aggressively as you should, your opponent will likely be dealing with other threats. IF you manage to preserve your cannon wielding units they should steadily pour on wounds eventually crippling enemy armor. A fusion pistol is simply more reliable, a haywire cannon offers range and a higher upside if you pray ever-so-dearly to the dice gods.		In 9th Edition.

	While functionally identical (in heavy weapons) to Imperial weapons, the manufacturing processes involved in making Eldar laser weapons (such as psychically grown and attuned crystals) make them damn near impossible for the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] to perfectly replicate, let alone produce in quantity. Of course, this does not excuse their complete unwillingness to adapt even the slightest improvement from xeno equipment with a far better track record of reliability and effectiveness. Though recently the Adeptus Custodes have been seen using pulsar lasers that may be Eldar derived.

The primary weapon of the [[Falcon]] that fires a stream of potent laser beams, it is a more dakka Bright Lance, but is unable to penetrate enemy armor as effectively.

	Thus, the Pulse Laser is ~~best~~ used against hordes of infantry~~, where the numbers pose by troops is a danger to the vehicles using any form of slow charging weapons~~. With its ~~high~~ rate of fire and powerful punch, the Pulse Laser ~~could deal~~ a threat to MEQs and ~~light~~ vehicles ~~if they are not careful. However as previously mentioned, the lack of armor penetrations means that~~ the ~~Pulse laser is poor against other heavier armored vehicles~~.		Thus, the Pulse Laser is able to be used against a variety of targets but like the bright lance, remains weak against hordes of infantry. With its higher rate of fire and powerful punch, the Pulse Laser can be a threat to MEQs, TEQs and vehicles all the same.

	In ~~8th~~ Edition, the ~~Falcon's~~ Pulse Laser is a Heavy 2 S8 AP-3 gun that does a solid 3 damage per shot, making it reasonably effective against any MEQ, TEQ, vehicles and monsters thrown your way~~. The Codex gave it a much needed price drop, putting it at 135 Points meaning that that tax for the Pulse Laser is now gone~~. It is ~~also~~ found on the Vampire Raider and Hunter, the Hornet and the Phoenix. The Phoenix Pulse Laser has one more strength than the normal Pulse Laser, so it's more likely to wound T8 Super-Heavy vehicles like Knights and Baneblade variants than standard bright lances and pulse lasers.		In 9th Edition, the Pulse Laser is a Heavy 2 S8 AP-3 gun that does a solid 3 damage per shot, making it reasonably effective against any MEQ, TEQ, vehicles and monsters thrown your way. It is found on the Falcon, Crimson Hunter, Vampire Raider and Hunter, with slightly altered versions being found on the Hornet and the Phoenix. The Phoenix Pulse Laser has one more strength than the normal Pulse Laser, so it's more likely to wound T8 Super-Heavy vehicles like Knights and Baneblade variants than standard bright lances and pulse lasers while the hornet's drops one point of strength, AP and damage, along with 12" of range. It also costs 10 points to mount. All of these sound like a bit of a bummer compared to the normal pulse laser but given the Hornet is a smaller, faster and cheaper tank compared to a Falcon, it has a pretty damn solid role as a marine hunter while still posing a bit of a threat to lighter vehicles too.
