i think most tech should have a basic functionality statement... that it works is not good enough, even the necron has a simplistic break down of how the gauss flayer works. we understand the pinciple (see detailed explanation page for gauss weaponry) but how to actually recreate it is beyond us (in both canon and reality).

i mean a gun is a gun, but a mega-laser that turns peoples organs into time bombs...ok give me a general idea otherwise i'm seeing a NCF nuke pistol that could take a whole planet out, but will somehow not hurt the guy firing it (mary sue). perhaps this explosion pistol causes the organic body to produce certain explosive chemicals... or ECT.
