Tech-Heresy: Weapons by and for the Heretek
Written by Maurice de Mare
The weapons listed below are the products of heretical imagination. All are vile innovations, tinkered together by Reclaimators and Hereteks. Anyone caught wielding such a weapon receives a quick bolt to the head in the name of the Omnissiah and the God-Emperor.

3-Light: The lowly laspistol is a common sight across the Imperium. Renowned for their reliability, but there is always the possibility that a laspistol has a failure and is discarded by its owner. These laspistols often find their way into the hands of hereteks. The heretek replaces the Omnissiah blessed capacitator with three low-output capacitators and so the laspistol is born-again in tech-heresy. The 3-Light is different from a standard pattern laspistol in that it invariably has a large ‘growth’ attached to it, which houses the extra capacitators.
Rev-Cap: The Rev-Cap is a solution to the lasguns inability to provide a full auto burst. Fusing the venerable stub-revolver and lasgun designs together in a heretical hybrid, the Rev-Cap features a cylinder holding eight laspistol capacitators which cycle towards a point in the weapon where the stored power can be siphoned off. After discharging all capacitators in such a manner the Rev-Cap requires a few moments to recharge them all again for use in the next cycle.
Seq-Las: A heretical marvel, the Seq-Las features four capacitators that are drained sequentially resulting in an incredibly powerful laserbeam which is able to punch through the toughest armor. All that extra power does make the weapon prone to overheating.
Com-Las: The insurgents multi-laser. The Com-Las is cobbled together using four standard lasguns. The stocks are removed from the lasguns to reduce weight and give easier access to the lasguns internal workings which need to be reconfigured to fire as one. Typically the Com-Las is fitted on a tripod or an insurgency vehicle’s pintle mount for use against the Imperium’s forces. It takes four charge packs to reload a Com-Las.
Very interesting weapon designs. Both somewhat desirable by some acolytes to keep despite the techno-ban and original in function. I'd be curious to see more weapons like that.
Shuriken pistols being one of the most common alien weapons found on the black market, there could be something to be done there, maybe some kind of rail gun firing metal disks. Oh, and what about some kind of cumbersome personal energy shield cobled together with parts stolen from a ship or maybe a modified power weapon energy field (who said unstable ?).
