Blast	Many missiles, grenades and some guns create an explosion when they hit their target. When working out a hit from a Blast weapon anyone within the weaponâs blast radius in metres, indicated by the number in parenthesis, is also hit. Roll Hit Location and Damage individually for each person affected by a blast.	Dark Heresy	Dark Heresy Core Rulebook	128

Concussive	The weapon causes a barrage of sound and force upon impact. When you strike an opponent with a Concussive weapon, he must make a Toughness Test at a Difficulty of â10 per degree of success by which the attack succeeded or be Stunned for 1 Round. Auditory protection confers a +10 bonus to this Test, but does not negate the kinetic energy of the blast. Additionally, any target taking Damage greater than his Strength Bonus from a Concussive weapon is automatically knocked down.	Deathwatch	Deathwatch Core Rulebook	142
Concussive	Some weapons create a deafening blast or shock wave when they hit. When target is struck by a Concussive weapon, must take a Toughness Test with a penalty equal to 10 times the number in parenthesis (X). For example a weapon with Concussive (2) would impose a â20 on Toughness Tests, and Concussive (0) would be a Test with no penalty. If he fails, target is stunned for 1 round per Degree of Failure. Additionally, if the target takes Damage greater than his Strength Bonus, the target is knocked Prone.	Black Crusade	Black Crusade Core Rulebook	148

Only War	Only War Core Rulebook	169
Corrosive	Some weapons utilise highly caustic acids which cause damage to both the wearer and their equipment. If a target is hit by an attack from a Corrosive weapon, the Armour Points of any armour worn by the target in that location are reduced by 1d10 points. If the Armour Points of the armour are reduced below 0 or the target is not wearing any armour in that location, the excess amount of Armour Point Damage (the whole amount if the target is wearing no armour in that location) is dealt to the target. This excess Damage is not reduced by Toughness. A targetâs armour can be reduced multiple times by the effects of a Corrosive weapon. The Armour Point Damage is cumulative. A suit of armour can be repaired with a successful Challenging (+0) Tech-Use Test. A Player Character who possesses the Armour Monger Talent can repair the armour while making use of that Talent.	Only War	Only War Core Rulebook	169
Crippling	Particularly cruel or deadly weapons sometimes include things like living barbs or shards that remain in their victimsâ wounds, causing them immense pain and even slowly killing them. When a target suffers at least one Damage (after reductions for Armour and Toughness Bonus) from a weapon with the Crippling Quality, it counts as being âCrippledâ for the remainder of the encounter or until healed of all Damage. If a Crippled character takes more than a Half Action on a single turn, that character suffers Rending Damage equal to the number in parenthesis (X). This damage is not reduced by Armour or Toughness Bonus.	Rogue Trader	The Soul Reaver	108

Crippling	Particularly cruel or deadly weapons, usually employed by the xenos enemies of the Imperium, sometimes include things like living barbs or shards that remain in their victimsâ wounds, causing them immense pain and even slowly killing them. When a target suffers at least one Wound from this weapon, he counts as being âcrippledâ for the remainder of the encounter or until healed of all Damage. If a crippled character takes more than a Half Action on his Turn, he suffers Rending Damage equal to the number in parentheses (X) to whichever location received the original Damage. This Damage is not reduced by Armour or Toughness.	Only War	Only War Core Rulebook	169
Customised	The user has rebuilt and fined-tuned the weapon so he can operate it to his personal satisfaction. Reloading this weapon takes Â½ the listed time, rounding up to the next full action (Â½ Action is still Â½ Action).	Rogue Trader	Rogue Trader Core Rulebook	115
Deadly Snare	The weapon envelops the target in snares which not only constrict but seek to strangle and flay their victim. This weapon quality functions in the same way as the Snare weapon quality (see Weapon Special Qualities on page 142 in Chapter V: Armoury), except that any character entangled by the weapon suffers the weapons damage again in their turn every round if they do not break free.

Devastating	Either because of an unnatural psychological property or pure destructive power, a Devastating weapon shakes the confidence of a Squad struck by it. If the weapon hits, it does one additional point of Cohesion Damage regardless of Damage to Wounds, in addition to secondary effects on Cohesion from the hitâs Damage and other results. If the target is a Horde, it reduces its magnitude by a number equal to the number in parenthesis every time it is hit by this weapon.	Deathwatch	Deathwatch Core Rulebook	142
Devastating	If the target is a horde, a successful hit from this weapon reduces the Hordeâs Magnitude by an additional amount equal to X.	Black Crusade	Black Crusade Core Rulebook	149
Fast	The size and speed of this weapon makes it hard to Parry. Opponents that would Parry an attack against a weapon with the Fast quality take a â20 penalty on their Weapon Skill Tests.	Dark Heresy	The Inquisitor's Handbook	96
Felling	Designed to puncture and to mangle, this weapon is capable of toppling even the mightiest foes. If the weapon hits, it ignores a number of levels of Unnatural Toughness possessed by the target equal to the number in the parenthesis. For instance, a Felling (1) weapon ignores the beneï¬ ts of Unnatural Toughness (x2) and would reduce the beneï¬ rts of unnatural Toughness (x3) by one multiplier.	Dark Heresy	Daemon Hunter	66

Felling	To kill powerful foes often requires fearsome weapons or special rounds with the ability to punch through even the toughest hides. When calculating damage from Felling weapons, reduce the targetâs Unnatural Toughness Bonus by the number in parenthesis (X). Felling only reduces Unnatural Toughness, not the targetâs base Toughness Bonus. The reduction occurs for calculating Damage only, and does not persist.	Black Crusade	Black Crusade Core Rulebook	149

Flame	Flame weapons project a cone of flame out to the range of the weapon. Unlike other weapons, flamers have just one range, and when fired, cast fiery death out to this distance. The wielder does not need to Test Ballistic Skill; he simply fires the weapon. All creatures in the flameâs path, a cone-shaped area extending in a 30 degree arc from the firer out to the weaponâs range, must make an Agility Test or be struck by the flames and take damage normally. If they take damage, they must succeed on a second Agility Test or be set on fire. Cover does not protect characters from attacks made by Flame weapons. Because Flame weapons make no roll to hit, they are always considered to hit targets in the body, and will Jam if the firer rolls a 9 on his Damage dice (before adding any bonuses).

Normally when a weapon is fired without the appropriate Weapon Training Talent or a heavy weapon is fired without bracing, the wielder suffers a â20% or -30% penalty respectively to his Ballistic Skill Test. When a weapon with the flame quality is fired by a wielder who does not possess the appropriate Weapon Training Talent, anyone in the weaponâs area of effect gains a +20% bonus to his Agility Test to avoid damage. This bonus rises to +30% if the flame weapon is heavy and the wielder is not braced. Because Flame weapons make no roll to hit, they are always considered to hit targets in the body, and will Jam if the firer rolls a 9 on his Damage dice (before adding any bonuses).

The wielder does not need to Test Ballistic Skill; he simply fires. The flameâs path is a cone-shaped area extending in a 30 degree arc from the firer out to the weaponâs Range. Any creatures caught in it must succeed on an Agility Test or be struck by the flames and take damage normally. If they take damage, they must succeed on a second Agility Test or catch on fire. (For the effects of being on Fire, see page 260.) Cover does not protect characters from attacks made by Flame weapons. Normally, when a weapon is fired without the appropriate Weapon Training Talent or a heavy weapon is fired without bracing, the wielder suffers a â20 or â30 penalty respectively to his Ballistic Skill Test. When a wielder who does not possess the appropriate Weapon Training Talent fires a weapon with the Flame Quality, anyone in the area of effect gains a +20 bonus to his Agility Test to avoid damage. This bonus rises to +30 if the weapon is heavy and the wielder is not braced.	Deathwatch	Deathwatch Core Rulebook	142
Flame	Some weapons belch great gouts of ï¬ ame, igniting anything they strike. If a target of a Flame attack is hit (even if he suffers no Damage), he must succeed on an Agility Test or be set on ï¬ re (see page 247).	Black Crusade	Black Crusade Core Rulebook	149

If a target of a Flame attack is hit (even if he suffers no Damage), he must succeed on an Agility Test or be set on ï¬re (see page 266). If the target of the Flame attack is a Vehicle, the pilot of the vehicle must make the appropriate Operate Skill Test with a bonus equal to the Vehicle Armour value on the facing hit by the Flame Attack. If the pilot fails, the Vehicle immediately catches ï¬re (see the On Fire! sidebar on page 284).	Only War	Only War Core Rulebook	169
Flexible	Some weapons are made up from lots of loosely connected segments, such as chains or supple woven hides, such as whips. These kinds of weapons lash about when used to attack and cannot be Parried.	Dark Heresy	Dark Heresy Core Rulebook	128

Force	Made from the rarest materials and interlaced with psychic reactive and channelling circuitry of a design said to have originated with the Emperor himself when he walked among mortal men, force weapons are capable of channelling the mental power and aggression of a psyker into deadly, reality- rending force. It is theoretically possible to create force weapons in almost any form, and several unique and potent variants, such as the Nemesis weapons of the Grey Knights and the legendarily destructive Daemonhammers, exist. The three commonest types of force weapons are given here, the force sword, force axe and force staff. Unless wielded by a psyker, force weapons simply count as a Good Craftsmanship Mono variant of their standard Primitive weapon type (see pages 128 and 142 of D ark H eresy ). However, in the hands of a wielder with a Psy Rating, they are much more. For every point of Psy Rating the wielder has, the weaponâs Damage and Penetration increases by +1. For example, a force sword wielded by a character with Psy Rating 3 would inflict 1d10+3 R (plus SB) and have a Penetration of 5. In addition to normal Damage, whenever a psyker damages an opponent, he or she may, as a Free Action, channel psychic force and killing will into the blade. Treat this effect as a power with a Threshold 6. On a success, the wielder and victim make Opposed Willpower Tests. For every degree of success, the force weaponâs wielder deals an additional 1d10 points of Damage ignoring the victimâs Armour and Toughness Bonus. Force weapons cannot be destroyed by a power weaponâs field. A force staff also acts as a Psy-Focus (see page 151 of D ark H eresy ).	Dark Heresy	The Inquisitor's Handbook	187
Force	Force Weapons are unique in that they will only function properly when wielded by a true psyker, whose mental energies turn these ordinary looking weapons into devices of terrifying power. They can take the form of almost any normal hand weapon such as a sword, axe, halberd, or hammer, and in the hands of a non-psyker they would function as such. When a psyker directs his powers through them though, such a weapon can multiply his strength to superhuman levels. Force Weapons have special rules when used by a psyker and will otherwise count as Best Craftsmanship Mono variant of the standard Primitive weapon. In the hands of a psyker, the weapon deals bonus damage and gains bonus penetration equal to the psykerâs Psy Rating (so a Psy Rating 3 would grant +3 damage and +3 Penetration), and the damage type changes to Energy. In addition, whenever a psyker damages an opponent, he may make a Focus Power Action (Opposed Willpower) as a Half Action. If he succeeds in making the test and scores more degrees of success than his opponent, for every degree of success, the force weaponâs wielder deals an additional 1d10 E Damage, ignoring Armour or Toughness Bonus. Force weapons cannot be destroyed by a power weaponâs ï¬eld. Although Navigators are considered psykers, their powers are different from a regular psyker and they do not gain any of the above beneï¬ts for using a force weapon.	Rogue Trader	Into the Storm	127
Force	The psi-lattice circuitry in force weapons is said to originate with the Emperor himself when he walked among mortal men. These weapons combine this archeotech circuitry pattern with the same rare, psycho-reactive crystal used in psychic hoods to channel the mental power of a psyker into deadly, reality-rending force. Force weapons can take many forms, and comprise several specialised variants; the most well known within the Adeptus Astartes are the Nemesis weapons of the Grey Knights. Force swords are the easiest of such weapons for a Librarian to obtain, followed by force staffs. Unless wielded by a psyker, force weapons simply count as a Common Astartes-sized weapon of the appropriate type with the Damage listed in the weaponâs profile. However, in the hands of a wielder with a Psy Rating, they are much more potent. For every point of Psy Rating the wielder has, the weaponâs Damage and Penetration increase by +1. For example, an Astartes force sword wielded by a character with Psy Rating 3 would inflict 1d10+5 (plus SB) and have a Penetration of 5. In addition to normal Damage, whenever a psyker damages an opponent, he may, as a Free Action, channel psychic force and killing will into the blade. This requires a Focus Power Test using Opposed Willpower. For every degree of success, the force weaponâs wielder deals an additional 1d10 Damage, ignoring the victimâs Armour and Toughness Bonus. Force weapons cannot be destroyed by a power weaponâs field. The Focus Power Test to channel psychic force through a Force Weapon can be made at any of the three psychic powersâ power levels (see page 185), and has the same chance to generate Psychic Phenomena/Perils of the Warp (see page 186-188). The additional damage dealt by channelling psychic force through a Force Weapon is Energy for the purposes of determining Critical Damage.	Deathwatch	Deathwatch Core Rulebook	155
Force	Used exclusively by psykers, these weapons combine archeotech circuitry pattern with rare psycho-reactive crystals to channel their mental power into deadly, reality- rending force. Force weapons can take many forms, and comprise several specialised variants, but are largely restricted to swords, staves, and axes. Any melee weapon with the Primitive Quality can be a Force weapon, and increases its Availability to Extremely Rare. Unless wielded by a psyker, Force weapons simply count as normal weapons of their type and are not considered to have the Force Quality. In the hands of a wielder with a Psy Rating, their true power is revealed. For every point of Psy Rating the wielder has, the weaponâs Damage and Penetration increase by +1. If the weapon possesses the Primitive Quality, it loses this Quality. For example, a Force sword wielded by a character with Psy Rating 3 would inï¬ ict 1d10+3 (plus SB) and have a Penetration of 3. In addition to normal Damage, whenever a psyker Damages an opponent, he may, as a Free Action, channel psychic force and killing will into the blade. This requires a Focus Power Test using Opposed Willpower. For every Degree of Success, the Force weaponâs wielder deals an additional 1d10 E Damage, ignoring the victimâs Armour and Toughness Bonus. Force weapons cannot be destroyed by a power weaponâs ï¬ eld.	Black Crusade	Black Crusade Core Rulebook	149

They can take the form of almost any normal hand weapon such as a sword, axe, halberd, or hammer, and in the hands of a non-psyker they function as such. When a psyker directs his powers through them, though, such a weapon can multiply his strength to superhuman levels. Force weapons have special rules when used by a psyker and otherwise count as a Best Craftsmanship Mono variant of the standard Low-Tech weapon. In the hands of a psyker, the weapon deals bonus Damage and gains bonus Penetration equal to the psykerâs Psy Rating (so a Psy Rating 3 would grant +3 Damage and +3 Penetration) and the Damage type changes to Energy. In addition, whenever a psyker Damages an opponent, he may make a Focus Power Action (Opposed Willpower) as a Half Action. If he wins the Test, then for every Degree of Success, the Force weaponâs wielder deals an additional 1d10 E Damage, ignoring Armour and Toughness Bonus. Force weapons cannot be destroyed by a power weaponâs ï¬eld.	Only War	Only War Core Rulebook	170
Gauss	Gauss weapons use a form of electromagnetic projection completely unknown to humanity to strip away the constituent molecules of a target. In the case of more powerful gauss weapons, this process occurs so rapidly and completely that the emerald beam of energy may appear to punch through its target, though it may be more accurate to think of it as âdiggingâ its way through. Whether the particles that previously made up a gauss weaponâs target are discarded or somehow stored for later use is unknown. A weapon with the Gauss Quality generates Righteous Fury on a roll of a 9 or 10. A weapon with the Gauss Trait is always capable of inï¬ icting Righteous Fury, even in the hands of an NPC that would not normally beneï¬ t from the rule. In the hands of an NPC that normally beneï¬ ts from Righteous Fury, it is automatically triggered successfully, without an additional roll. At the GMâs option, this rule may be suspended in the case of Hordes.	Deathwatch	The Outer Reach	119
Gyro Stabilised	The weapon has a small auto-stabilisation unit that is typically built towards the end of the barrel. While not as powerful as a suspensor, the gyro-stabiliser helps keep the weapon levelled at the optimal angle for ï¬ring. A Gyro-Stabilised weapon never counts its target as being further than Long Range (normal maximum range still applies). Heavy weapons with this Quality reduce the penalty for ï¬ring without Bracing to â20.	Rogue Trader	Into the Storm	121

Hallucinogenic	Hallucinogenic weapons use drugs or mind-altering exotic energy to disorient or disable their targets, often inducing a variety of short-lived psychological states and delusions. When a creature takes a hit from a Hallucinogenic weapon it must make a Toughness Test with a penalty equal to 10 times the number in parenthesis (X) or suffer a temporary delusion and roll 1d100 on Table 5-1: Hallucinogenic Effects. Respirators and sealed armour provide a +20 bonus to this Test. The effects last for 1 Round, plus 1 additional Round for every Degree of Failure.	Black Crusade	Black Crusade Core Rulebook	149

Haywire	The weapon generates an electro-magnetic field that troubles the machine spirits of most technology. Everything within the fieldâs radius, indicated by the number in parenthesis, is affected. Roll on Table 5â4: Haywire Field Effects (with any modifiers from the weapon) to determine the strength of the effect. As the field slowly dissipates, the strength lessens one step in severity each round until it b ecomes Insignificant.	Deathwatch	Deathwatch Core Rulebook	143
Haywire	Haywire weapons make use of microwaves or electromagnetic radiation to destroy the inner workings of machines and tech. Everything within the ï¬ eldâs radius, indicated by the number in parenthesis, is affected: Haywire (3) would affect an area with a three metre radius. Roll 1d100 on Table 5â2: Haywire Field Effects (adding any modiï¬ ers from the weapon) to determine the strength of the effect. As the ï¬ eld slowly dissipates, the strength lessens one step in severity each round until it becomes Insigniï¬ cant (i.e., a result of Major Disruption would become Minor Disruption the following round and then cease to have an effect the round after that). Additional Haywire attacks in the same area do not stack but instead create a new effect that will either be ignored if lower than the current effect or replaced if higher.

Additional Haywire attacks in the same area do not stack but instead create a new effect that is either ignored if lower than the current effect or replaces the old one if higher.

Indirect	Mortars and similar Launcher weapons are often ï¬red in a suppression mode, where the actual enemy cannot be seen and only their rough location is known. In these cases, mortar shells and the like can be ï¬red without any actual line of sight required. Often such weapons are ï¬red in conjunction with a spotter who directs ï¬re from the weapon. Any ally with an auspex or who can see the target can assist with indirect ï¬re. When making any ranged attack Action (Standard Attack, Semi-Auto Burst, or Full Auto Burst) with an Indirect weapon, the attack does not have to target a location in line of sight of the active player, but is made at a â10 penalty and requires a Full Action instead of the normal Half Action. The active character, however, must be aware of his intended target, either by using the targetâs last known position, through the use of a spotter, or through other means. The GM makes the ï¬nal determination on whether or not the character is aware of his targetâs location and may add penalties to this ranged attack based on how aware the character is of his target. For each hit with the ranged attack, roll once on the Scatter Diagram (see page 255). The hit instead strikes the ground at a location a number of metres away from the intended target, in the direction rolled on the Scatter Diagram, equal to 1d10 minus the ï¬rerâs Ballistic Skill Bonusâto a minimum of zero. If the ranged attack fails, or if the Semi-Auto Burst or Full Auto Burst Actions fail to achieve the maximum potential hits, the remaining missed hitsâup to the maximum potential hit for the rate of ï¬re used in the attackâare still ï¬red, but miss their target. For each missed hit, roll once on the Scatter Diagram (see page 255). The hit instead strikes the ground at a location Xd10 metres away from the intended target in the direction rolled on the Scatter Diagram (where X is equal to the number in parentheses [X]). If the active character has a Comrade in cohesion, that Comrade may spend a Full Action to help the character in aiming and steadying the weapon. If he does, then the attack with the Indirect weapon does not suffer from the normal â10 penalty and all missed hits only scatter Xd5 metres.	Only War	Only War Core Rulebook	171
Lance	Lance weapons ï¬re focused beams of devastating energy, piercing armour with ease. Weapons with the Lance Quality have a variable Penetration value that is dependent on the accuracy of each shot. When a target is hit by a weapon with the Lance Quality, increase the weaponâs Penetration value by its base value once for each Degree of Success achieved by the attacker. For example, if a Dark Eldar Kabalite Warrior hit a Leman Russ Battle Tank with a Dark Lance and achieved 3 Degrees of Success, the Dark Lance would have a Penetration value of 20âthe base Penetration value of the Dark Lance of 5 plus 15, 5 for each of the three Degrees of Successâfor that shot. Note that this means that a weapon with the Lance Quality always has at least a Penetration value of 5 if its wielder hits the target, as a hit represents a single Degree of Success.

Living Ammunition	The ranged weapons of the Tyranids use ammunition that is grown, gestated, or excreted by the creature or weapon. As such, ranged Tyranid weapons do not have a clip value (it is considered to be infinite), and do not need to be reloaded. The weapon also never Jams.	Deathwatch	Deathwatch Core Rulebook	372
Maximal	Maximal weapons have two ï¬ re settings allowing the wielder to either use the weapon at its lower setting to conserve ammo and allow a higher rate of ï¬ re, or make single powerful blasts requiring the weapon to recharge between shots. Before making an attack the user can choose to either ï¬ re the weapon normally, in which case it uses the proï¬ le detailed on Table 5-3: Ranged Weapons, or to ï¬ re it on Maximal. When the weapon is ï¬ red on Maximal it adds 10 to its range, adds 1d10 to its Damage and +2 to its Penetration. If it has the Blast Quality then this is improved by +2, i.e., a weapon with Blast (3) become Blast (5). The weapon also uses three times the normal amount of ammo per shot and gains the Recharge Quality.	Black Crusade	Black Crusade Core Rulebook	150

Ogryn Proof	The bestial Ogryn that serve amongst the ranks of the Imperial Guard have hands that are not only much larger than those of a normal human, but also far stronger. Most Ogryn have a hard time using them to perform delicate, or even normal, tasks. There are many weapons, however, that are perfect for use by these cumbersome creatures.

Overheats	Certain weapons are prone to overheating, either because of poor design or because they fire unstable superheated ammunition. A weapon with the Overheats special quality overheats on an attack roll of 91 or higher. When a weapon overheats, the wielder suffers energy damage equal to the weaponâs damage with a penetration of 0 to an arm location (the arm holding the weapon if the weapon was fired one-handed, or a random arm if the weapon was fired with two hands). The wielder may choose to avoid taking the damage by dropping the weapon. Dropping a weapon is a Free Action. A weapon that overheats must spend the round afterwards cooling down and may not be fired again until the second round after overheating. A weapon with this quality does not Jam, and any effect that would cause the weapon to Jam (i.e., certain psychic powers) instead causes the weapon to overheat.

All creatures in the weaponâs path, a cone-shaped area extending in a 30-degree arc from the ï¬rer out to the weaponâs range, must make a Challenging (+0) Agility Test or be struck by the attack and take Damage normally. Cover does not protect characters from attacks made by Spray weapons unless it completely conceals them. Because Spray weapons make no roll to hit, they are always considered to hit targets in the body, and jam if the ï¬rer rolls a 9 on any of his Damage dice (before adding any bonuses). Due to their inaccurate nature, Spray Weapons cannot be used to make Called Shot Actions.	Only War	Only War Core Rulebook	173
Storm	A weapon with the Storm Quality doubles the amount of hits infl icted on the target. Every degree of success (for Full Auto) or two degrees of success (for Semi-Auto) up to the weaponâs listed rate of fi re results in two hits instead of one (including when fi ring a single shot). A weapon with the Storm quality uses up ammunition twice as fast as usual (meaning that if a Storm weapon fi res on semi-auto with a rate of fi re equal to 2, it uses 4 rounds of ammunition).

Tainted	These weapons are infused with the power of Chaos, and manifest the corruption in their bearer. Weapons with this Quality add their wielderâs Corruption Point Bonus (the 10s column of their Corruption Point total) to Damage dealt.	Black Crusade	Black Crusade Core Rulebook	152

Tesla	Tesla weapons are another example of the Necronsâ remarkable weapon technology. These weapons ï¬ re crackling bolts of electricity that some witnesses claim move as if with minds of their own. These bolts of lightning are incredibly hot, enough to char the ï¬ esh from a manâs bones in moments. In some cases, these energetic projectiles have even been observed to crack ceramite and plasteel. What is truly astounding about these weapons, however, is the manner in which the arcs of electricity leap from their initial target to others nearby. In some cases, the lightning makes this leap multiple times, such that a single direct hit from a Tesla weapon might incapacitate an entire squad. When a weapon with the Tesla Quality rolls a 9 or 10 for Damage, or kills or otherwise incapacitates a target, lightning arcs to an additional, randomly determined target within 5m of the ï¬ rst, scoring an additional hit against that target. This extra hit has the potential to score further âextraâ hits in the same manner. No attack roll is needed for these additional hits, which are applied to the targetâs Body location.

Toxic	Some weapons rely on toxins and poisons to do their damage. Anyone that takes Damage from a Toxic weapon, after reduction for Armour and Toughness Bonus must make a Toughness Test with a â5 penalty for every point of Damage taken. Success indicates there is no further effect from the weapon. Failure however deals an immediate 1d10 points of Impact Damage to the target with no reduction from Armour or Toughness Bonus.

Twin Linked	A Twin-linked weapon represents two identical weapons connected together and linked to fire at the same time, often through one pull of the trigger or push of the button. Twin- linked weapons are built this way in order to increase the chances of scoring a hit through the crude expedience of blasting more shots at the target. A weapon with the Twin- linked Quality gains a +20% bonus to hit when fired and uses twice as much ammunition. In addition, the weapon may score one additional hit if the attack roll succeeds by two or more degrees of success. Lastly, the weaponâs reload time is doubled.	Dark Heresy	Ascension	137

Twin Linked	A simple way to increase the ï¬ repower of a weapon is to strap two of them together! Twin-linked weapons represent two of the same kind of weapon ï¬ xed together and rigged to ï¬ re simultaneously with a single squeeze of the trigger. When ï¬ ring a Twin-Linked weapon the wielder can choose to either gain a +10 to hit or an additional hit if they score at least one successful hit.
