Monofilament Weaponry
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Monofilament weaponry makes use of projected streams of wire which wrap around the victim and seek out gaps in armour where the wires can penetrate flesh most effectively to liquefy the target. The wire itself is, as the name suggest, a single molecule thick and is extremely effective at getting through enemy skin.

Spinneret Rifle
Unlike other monofilament weapons, the Spinneret Rifle fires a single thread of wire that punches through armour and closes in a restricting spiral. This makes it very effective at penetrating armour and when it does, it is utterly deadly to the occupant of the armour. The wire spirals around the target once it latches on.1
