A Fusion Pistol is a hand-held, heat-based Melta Weapon utilised exclusively by the Eldar. Fusion Pistols cause the molecules of the target to hyper-vibrate, generating so much heat that their targets burst into flames before suddenly liquefying, and then evaporating into nothingness. Though incredibly short-ranged, the sheer destructive potential of these weapons ensures that they see common usage amongst the masques of the enigmatic Eldar known as Harlequins.
Pistol: Pistols can be used to make ranged attacks, and can also
be used in close combat. If a Pistol has an Accuracy modifier, it
applies to ranged attacks only.
Melta: When a weapon with this trait is used to make an attack against an inanimate target (i.e. an item that has a Wounds characteristic, such as doors and some scenario objectives), a failed wound roll may be rerolled once.
Additionally, an inanimate target that loses its last Wound to an attack with this trait is utterly destroyed and should be removed from the battlefield (if possible).
