Irrad-Cleanser
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Iradd-Cleansers (Irad-Cleansers, Irrad-Cleansers, Rad-Cleansers), also known as Irradiation Projectors, are specialized Adeptus Mechanicus weapons.[1]
A potent anti-infantry relic of the Dark Age of Technology, the weapon itself is a dish-like projector connected to a bulky generator which unleashes a powerful blast of cross-spectrum radiation. Victims caught in the blast suffer horrendous deaths as they are boiled alive from within and blasted apart on a cellular level. Though less effective against vehicles or targets with heavy armor, the target will likely die later from radioactive contamination.[1]
Types
- Irad-Cleanser - Personal weapon[2][3]

- Irradiation Blaster - Vehicle Weapon used by Krios Battle Tanks[5]
