Power Ram
A Power Ram is a type of Imperial law enforcement weapon frequently used by the Adeptus Arbites.[1]
This power ram is a heavy tube with a pair of long handles running down each side of its length Inside the tube is a potent power field connected to a piston, the head of which is often sculpted to resemble an Imperial Aquila. These tools were crafted for use on Karrik, and other Calixian worlds with high gravity, because of the requisite sturdy construction of the doors and walls. Usually held by two Arbitrators, who swing it against a door or even a wall, the Bakka-pattern Power Ram drives the piston forward, surrounded by the flickering energies of the disruption field. The weapon is powerful enough to blow most doors clean off their hinges, and is more than capable of knocking holes in solid brick walls in seconds. Although this weapon can theoretically be used in combat, it is really not designed for this — its primary use is as an entry device.[1]
Gangers from the Necromundan House Goliath commonly mount spiked variants of the power ram on their Goliath Maulers.[2]
