Volkite Weapon

Possessing a killing power surpassing most armaments of their size, Volkites were little-understood and difficult to replicate on even the most capable Mechanicus Forge Worlds. Volkite weapons could Deflagrate organic matter, explosively burning flesh into ash and jetting fire. A direct hit by a Volkite weapon could cause a target to simply combust, often taking nearby comrades with them.
At one point they were relatively common in the fledgling Space Marine Legions, but by the time of the Great Crusade were a rarity and had been replaced by the more flexible and easy-to-manufacture bolter.
