	In the [[Great Crusade\|early years of the Imperium's history]] the Rapier was a common weapons platform used by the Imperial Army at both the company and regimental level. Under ideal conditions each company would have a support squad with five Rapier carriers plus other weapons, while regiments had support companies of ten machines each, such as five Rapiers and five [[Mole Mortar Team\|Mole Mortars,]] though attrition often accounted for fewer numbers of these weapons.

	Of course nowadays, the Rapier is now exclusive solely for the Space Marines as difficulties in manufacturing these complex devices coupled with the increasingly stubborn hoarding of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus\|Mechanicus]] and competition with smaller, lighter, easier to maintain and cheaper to make anti-tank weaponry such as a pintle-mounted Lascannons or Plasmacannons among the growing Imperial Guard has resulted in a drastic decline for these dedicated tank-hunters.

	The Rapier Armoured Carrier or Rapier Laser Destroyer (Although [[/tg/]] calls it the [[Rape\|Rapepier]] hahaha get it? Cause it [[Rape\|Rapes]] tanks? okay I will stop now...) is a tracked weapons carrier used by the [[Imperium of Man]], including the [[~~Imperial Guard~~]], [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] and [[Space Marines]]. It is identifiable due to its mini baby treads from a baby [[Rhino]] and may result in much unintentional [[Lofn\|"DAAAAAAAWWWWWW"]] among your enemies, which is a [[DISTRACTION CARNIFEX\|great distraction]] as this pint sized [[Land Raider]] carries weapons that can turn your [[Scorpion]] and [[Battlefortress]] into molten scrap. Yeah, this mini-tread of doom is a dedicated anti-tank weapon, as it mounts a powerful multi-barreled laser cannon (think a [[Rape\|quad-barreled]] [[lascannon]] [[Powergamer\|that has been supercharged]]). However, Rapiers have also been seen wielding graviton cannons, multi-lasers, quad heavy bolters and even a astartes grade quad launcher to annihilate vast swarms of infantry both [[MEQ]], [[GEQ]], and [[TEQ]] alike, or using a quad-mortar to act as support artillery.

	The armoured carrier is built around the weapon system with which it has become synonymous, the [[Rapier Laser Destroyer]]. This multi-barreled weapon achieves greater firepower than even a normal lascannon by focusing its four separate laser systems with precise accuracy on a single point. This is possible thanks to a weak [[Machine Spirit]] which can adjust the convergence of the beams depending on the target's range. However, the weapon system has tremendous power requirements, along with increased maintenance and heat build-up due to its moving parts and the close proximity of multiple laser chambers to each other. Rapiers have also been seen mounted with [[Grav-Cannon\|Graviton Cannons]] and [[Heavy Bolter\|Quad Heavy Bolters]] or [[~~Multi-laser~~\|Multi-lasers]] and [[Light Mortar\|Quad-mortars]] to the more rare [[Lucius Pattern Heavy Quad-Launcher\|Astartes Quad Launcher.]]		The armoured carrier is built around the weapon system with which it has become synonymous, the [[Laser Destroyer Array\|Rapier Laser Destroyer]].

	As it was initially designed for defending cities and fortresses the Rapier has limited mobility, enough to move into ambush positions and across rough terrain, and is often fielded in special batteries of one to three Rapiers used to break up enemy armour attacks. The system can move and fire at the same time thanks to an auto-drive and benefits from targeter equipment. Actual aiming and firing of the laser destroyer however is handled by the on-board machine spirit making the Rapier a semi-independent system; its crew is necessary only for moving the weapon and operational mode selection.
