Frag Cannon
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Frag Cannon is a Dreadnought weapon utilized exclusively by the Blood Angels and descendant 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,1 adamantium hollow shells that fragment upon firing, resulting in a hail of razor-sharp shrapnel2. The frag cannon is short ranged and indiscriminate weapon, somewhat capricious in nature since the shrapnel it produces can be stopped by light armor, while simultaneously being able to rip through power armor.1
