Grav weapons were used by many of the [[Space Marine]] [[Space Marine Legions\|Legions]] during the [[Horus Heresy]]. However, in the 41st millennium, the secrets of how to build and maintain them are locked deep within the vaults of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] on [[Mars]] and are even rarer than [[Plasma\|plasma guns]], and like Plasma guns this will not stop every marine and his [[primarch]] from fielding bucketloads of them.

			Much like [[Melta\|Meltaguns]], there's some inconsistency in depictions of grav-weapons firing. For example, ''Necromunda: Hired Gun'' depicts them as firing a non-hitscan homing explosive projectile. However, Inquisitor: Martyr [[Eternal Crusade]] and the ''Boltgun'' vidya gaem depict them as firing a continuous beam, so that seems to be the general consensus on how they fire.

	Grav and standard Plasma have the same AP and to-Wound versus MEQs, with the critical difference that Grav actually does enough damage to kill. Against overcharged Plasma their to-Wound is slightly worse but without risk of blowing up, which is far likelier than 8e. Of major note are the heavy variants, as the Grav Cannon now hits 4 times versus the Plasma Cannon's 3, and is marginally cheaper to boot.

	[[Graviton weapons]] from [[Forge World]] operate completely differently than the grav-weapons shown in the new Space Marine Codex. The reason for this was a mystery up until Horus Heresy III - Extermination came out and actually had a Graviton weapon that behaved like a Grav weapon: the ''Graviton Imploder''. The explanation is that all 40k grav weapons started out as graviton weapons, but graviton weapons were not actually intended to be used as weapons at all; more likely, they were to be used like Star Trek tractor beams. Nevertheless, they were used as weapons until some guy on the Forgeworld of Tigrus figured out how to make a cheaper replacement which concentrated the energy into single targets rather than over wider areas. The tech-priests called this [[Heresy\|blasphemy]], owing to the fact that it was not how the technology was originally intended, but considering they are generally more useful on the battlefield they became more common than the original design.
