Torsion Cannon
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Torsion Cannons are a type of weapon used by the Adeptus Mechanicus. Mounted on Kataphron Battle Servitors, the tri-sectional barrel of the torsion cannon is amongst the holiest of Mars’ weapon technologies. When energised, it sends out three synchronous gaol-fields that hold sections of the target in place. As the sections of the cannon’s barrel turn counter to one another, the matter grasped in the fields is mercilessly twisted, subjected to an impossible torque that rips, buckles and ruins alien monstrosities and enemy war engines alike.[1]
