Laser weaponsorlas weaponsis a name given to allImperialand somealienlaser based weapons. Imperial laser technology is relatively simple, with most Imperial worlds possessing the technological base needed for their manufacture. Las weapons are cheap, easy to maintain and are some of the most reliable weapons of the Imperium. They are issued in vast numbers to theImperial Guardin the form of thelasgunand these are readily available on most Imperial worlds.
镭射武器或激光武器是所有帝国和一些外星激光武器的名称。帝国激光技术相对简单，大多数帝国世界都拥有制造所需的技术基础。激光武器价格低廉，易于维护，是帝国最可靠的武器之一。它们以激光枪的形式大量发放给帝国卫队，在大多数帝国世界都很容易买到。
Workings 运行
Laser weapons emit a highly focused, high energy beam of light which on impact produces a rapid temperature change on the target's surface, causing vaporisation in the form of a small explosion. The beam itself lasts for only a short duration, creating a searing flash of light and distinctive snap or crack sound as air is ionised. Energy for each shot is stored within a fast discharge generator, taking up most of the weapon's mechanism, and regulates the power of each beam to prevent overpowering and improve reliability.
激光武器发射出高度聚焦的高能光束，在撞击时会在目标表面产生快速的温度变化，导致小爆炸形式的汽化。光束本身只持续很短的时间，当空气被电离时，会产生灼热的闪光和独特的咔嗒声或爆裂声。每次射击的能量都存储在一个快速放电发生器中，占据了武器的大部分构造，并调节每个光束的功率，以防止过载并提高可靠性。
Rechargeable power packs feed the discharge generator, each of which usually consist of a highly efficient liquid metal core and vary in size and capacity depending on their usage. Light internal power packs, used in lasguns and pistols, on average are good for forty shots; large crate-sized power packs used in lascannons, in order to maintain maximum power output efficiency, need replacing after every shot. Overpowered laser packs, also know as"Hotshot"power packs, contain a more potent charge but provide less shots than a normal power pack, as well as putting extra stress on the barrel and being more difficult to recharge.
可充电能量弹夹为放电发生器供电，每个能量弹夹通常由高效的液态金属芯组成，其尺寸和容量根据使用情况而变化。激光枪和手枪中使用的轻型内部能量弹夹平均可发射40发子弹；激光炮中使用的大型机箱大小的能量弹夹，为了保持最大的功率输出效率，每次射击后都需要更换。高功率的激光弹夹，也称为“热射”能量弹夹，包含更强大的电荷，但提供的射击次数比普通能量弹夹少，并且给枪管带来了额外的压力，更难充电。
Most worlds produce their own distinct laser designs made from locally available materials and containing their own unique features, such as solar converters to recharge power packs and various types of optic sights. These designs can range from highly ornate, hand-crafted dueling pistols to robust service weapons issued to the Imperial Guard.
大多数世界都生产自己独特的激光设计，由当地可用的材料制成，并包含自己独特的功能，如为能量弹夹充电的太阳能转换器和各种类型的光学瞄准镜。这些设计可以从高度华丽、手工制作的决斗手枪到发放给帝国卫队的坚固的军用武器。
The production of some more unusual and unspecified Imperial heavy las weaponry utilizesprismata crystalsin their manufacturing process. Because of this, these red glowing crystals are expensive and highly sought after in order to make lucrative sales to the right buyers.
一些更不寻常和未指明的帝国重型激光武器的生产在制造过程中使用了普里马塔晶体。因此，这些红色发光晶体价格昂贵，备受追捧，以便向合适的买家进行有利可图的销售。

Laser weapons used by theEldarare superior to Imperial designs, thanks to their usage of psychically-grown crystals and more efficient power generation and transmission systems. This results in weapons more energy-efficient, more accurate and more powerful than their Imperial counterparts. Many Eldar admire the elegance of laser weapons, priding themselves on their mastery of light itself.
灵族使用的激光武器优于帝国设计，这要归功于他们使用了灵能成长晶体和更高效的发电和输电系统。这使得武器比帝国同类武器更节能、更精确、更强大。许多灵族钦佩激光武器的优雅，并为对光本身的掌握感到自豪。
