Direct Energy Launcher

More commonly known as the Plasma Launcher, this weapon shoots out four Plasma Grenades in consecutive shots, to make this even more nightmarish for the forces of the Imperium these grenades home-in into targets and sticks to them, trying to take off the sticky residue of the arcane like plasma is all but futile. One Plasma Grenade is already noted to cripple and sometimes even destroy a Chimera APC into molten slag, four grenades however is just overkill and can be deadly to even heavily armored tanks such as the Leman Russ Battle tank. The mechanisms of the Plasma Launcher is surprisingly simple, a simple gravity chamber or tube is placed within the backbone of the weapon. This gravity chamber is what stores the Plasma Grenades, once put on firing charge the four plasmic capacitors at the front (What looks like the barrel) opens up and ensnares one Plasma Grenade each, once the trigger is released the Gravity influx between the plasmic capacitors and gravity chamber collapsed, and launch all four Plasma Grenades in quick succession. The Plasma Grenades are specialized in that they have a magno-thermal localizer implanted in them, allowing the Grenades to home into their designated target.
