Injector Pistol
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
A Biologus Putrifier with an Injector Pistol
Injector Pistols are the infamous weapon of Death Guard Biologus Putrifiers.[1]
These weapons are only used on subjects the Putrifier wishes to study the effects of his latest strain of plague on and are often carefully selected among the enemy on the battlefield. A shot by an Injector Pistol injects a concentrated dose of Daemonic disease into the victim, causing him to erupt in explosive boils and clouds of flies. Those specimens whose deaths are especially fascinating are pierced with injector pistols once again, this time to extract whatever clotted foulness now passes for their blood, ready for later study.[1]
