Death korps of krieg lasgun series#
The barrel of the Lucius is its most distinctive feature it has a series of heatsinks to dissipate the excessive heat buildup the increased energy output of the Lucius Pattern creates under sustained fire. It was judged by the Kriegers that the extra stopping power of the Lucius pattern essentially makes up for this drawback.
Another downside: Unlike other Lasguns, the Lucius is semi-automatic only, with a slower recycle rate than other Lasguns. This gives the weapon more punch, but drains the powerpack after only 25 shots.
In a brief effort to cover the dizzying number of different Lasgun types and a bit of information about each, this article has been made. There are a dizzying number of different Lasguns in the Imperium of Man, often referred to as "Patterns" (an old British terminology for firearm designs, in the 18th century the standard long arm of the British Army was the Land Pattern Musket), as many of them are made from specific design philosophies. The closest thing to choice an Imperial guardsmen will have - what sort of lasgun he'll get (not an actual choice, generally speaking).
