Prism Cannon
From Lexicanum
The Prism Cannon is an Eldar weapon of great destructive potential. It uses a medium strength laser beam and passes it through a finely tuned crystal prism which both greatly amplifies the power of the laser and spreads it over a large area. This makes the weapon use a two stage firing mechanism, although with the advanced Eldar technology this is not a problem.
