Functionally, the Meltagun has more in common with a Plasma Gun than a Flamer. While the Flamer is used to incinerate large numbers of foes at short range, the Meltagun is used to attack point targets, destroying heavily armoured vehicles at short range by literally heating the vehicle's armour into slag and melting through to vulnerable internal components. Meltaguns work by firing a blast of pure fusion-based heat energy that can vaporise most organic troops, and even melt Adamantium. Melta Weapons are often carried by tank-hunting squads and are used as a special weapon by other squads.

Melta Weapons are often carried by tank-hunting squads and are used as a special weapon by other squads. There is a larger version of the Meltagun, called the Multi-Melta, which has both an increased maximum range and is more effective as an anti-armour weapon compared to the standard Meltagun, at the cost of portability and ease-of-use. There also exists a pistol version of the Meltagun, the dreaded Inferno Pistol; however, the secrets of miniaturisation necessary to manufacture Inferno Pistols are all but lost to the Imperium. As such, only the highest-ranking members of the Inquisition, Adepta Sororitas and Astartes are allowed to wield such a treasured weapon. Lord Dante, Chapter Master of the Blood Angels, is the most famous user of such a potent pistol.
