Lasgun Information


In the universe of Warhammer 40,000 (Warhammer 40K), lasguns are a staple ranged weapon, primarily used by the vast armies of the Imperium of Man, especially the Imperial Guard. Known colloquially as “flashlights” by fans due to their perceived low power compared to other weapons in the game, lasguns are nevertheless one of the most common weapons in the galaxy.

A lasgun is a laser weapon that fires a coherent beam of light with enough energy to burn through or at least damage most unarmored targets. It is prized for its reliability, ease of maintenance, and the abundant supply of its power packs, which can even be recharged with solar energy in prolonged campaigns. Although individually weak compared to many other firearms in the Warhammer 40K universe, lasguns can be highly effective en masse, as typically seen in the vast infantry forces of the Imperial Guard.

The standard-issue lasgun varies slightly between different regiments of the Imperial Guard, reflecting the diverse worlds and technological levels of the Imperium. There are also heavier and more powerful versions, such as the lascannon, which can take out heavily armored vehicles and fortifications, showcasing the versatility and scalability of laser weapon technology in the Warhammer 40K universe.
