Multi-melta

From Lexicanum

The Multi-melta is a heavy version of the Meltagun that has multiple melta barrels. It is a vicious and effective weapon, but lacks the range of other heavy weapons. Targets are just melted away - turning creatures into pools of steaming protoplasm and vehicles into twisted goo.

Multi-meltas can be mounted on vehicles. It has the same characteristics as a Meltagun but has a much increased range. The Leman Russ Demolisher may have sponson mounted Multi-meltas and the Land Raider Crusader has a hull mounted Multi-melta. The Immolator may have twin-linked multi-meltas. They also may be mounted on Land Speeders (and their variants), Attack Bikes, Razorbacks, and Dreadnoughts.

Given the bulky nature of these weapons, they are only man portable by Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, and Sisters of Battle, and even then they carry vast and bulky power packs on their backs. Only the human armies (including the Imperial Guard) use Multi-meltas as other races have their own versions.
