The Frag Cannon is a Dreadnought weapon utilized most famously by the Blood Angels and their Successor Chapters, particularly for the Furioso Dreadnought. The Frag Cannon is a shoulder-mounted weapon, replacing the Dreadnought arm as other heavy weapons do, and fires a pair of long, hollow adamantium shells that fragment upon firing, resulting in a hail of razor-sharp shrapnel.[2] The frag cannon is a short-ranged, indiscriminate weapon, somewhat capricious in nature since the shrapnel it produces can be stopped by light armour, while simultaneously being able to rip through power armour.[1]
