Nihilis Pattern Lasgun

Produced by lasgun House Van Saar in the hive city of Necromunda, several of these lasguns were recalled due to logistics errors. Lasguns issued betweed M35 and M40, with serial numbers 00001475 through 72341110 were recalled as they were originally intended for personal use, but issued to the Astra Militarum by mistake. Issues with these lasguns made them operate outside of normal combat parameters. These included: Above-average Combat Efficacy, Temperamental Machine Spirit, No Bayonet Attachment Point, Unexpected Operator Hair Loss, and Unexpected Operator Death.

Soldiers issued these lasguns were instructed to return these weapons to the regimental quartermaster. Replacements were expected to be issued in 2 - 3 months depending on distance from nearest forge world and warp-time dilation on delivery vessels. As an apology for the mistake, regiments issued the faulty lasguns were issued almost-new condition Plasma Guns that were permanently locked to the overcharge setting.

Like much of Van Saar technology, these lasguns bathe radiation upon their wielder, slowly killing them.
