Weapons

Pulse Weapons

Tau Pulse weaponry is a type of advanced plasma based weaponry that makes up the bulk of Tau Infantry scale weapons. Pulse Weapons are less powerful than Imperial Plasma wepaons, but far more reliable than their Imperial Counterparts and are much more powerful compared to comprably scaled Imperial Las weapons.

The two main infantry level Tau Pusle weapons are the Pulse Rifle, which has longer range, and the Pulse Carbine, which is smaller and has a higher rate of fire. The Tau also use an Upscaled version of Tau Pulse Weaponry mounted on vehicles and carried by Battlesuits known as a Burst Cannon. The Kroot make use of modified Pusle Rifles equiped with blades to be better suited for close combat.

Railguns

To deal with heavily armored targets, the Tau Empire makes heavy use of Railguns. These weapons are primarally vehicle mounted on Hammerhead gunships and Broadside battlesuits. Recently the Tau have been experimenting with man portable rail rifles for sniping, this has had mixed sucsess, despite their firepower and ability to destroy armored targets the weapons are still somewhat unreliable and unsafe and are only used in comparatively small numbers.
