They were a failed experiment by the eldar. It was a vibro-cannon
that fixed whatever it shot. Unfortunately, it was designed pre-
e40k when the rules prohibited the eldar from shooting at their
own troops, so the project was abandoned and the technology lost.

Well, I admit I've never tried it. My buggies and bikes have a
30-45 cm range :). The only orky thing with a 15 cm range is
the gretchen, and I don't worry much about shooting with them. :)
