the trooper's Acatran pattern, Mark IV lasgun is a lightweight weapon manufactured on the forge world Acatran, and supplied to the 23rd Elysian regiment. It's overall length is shortened by it's"bullpup" design, with its power pack positioned behind the handle."
"This is ideal for Drop Troops who must crowd into the troop compartment of a Valkyrie, carrying all their kit into battle, often needing more spare ammunition, rations, water, etc to operate beyond supply lines, as well as wearing a bulky grav chute. Extra carrying capacity and weight is always at a premium for Elysian Drop Troops."
"To conserve ammunition and reduce wastage, the weapon only has a single shot setting and cannot be used for automatic fire. It uses a standard power pack, good for fifty shots, and operates in the 19 megathule range."
