Laser Pistol:
The laser pistol is a rarely seen weapon in the Cylon arsenal, hardly ever carried by Centurions who generally use the laser rifle. The laser pistol is generally carried by 'non combatant' Cylons although stores of these weapons can be found in Cylon Raiders as a backup weapon. A reasonably powerful weapon. The Cylon pistol does not emit a visible beam of light when fired.
Laser Rifle:
The standard weapon of the Cylon armed forces. The laser rifle is a solid weapon, easy to hold and point and having a decent range and damage capability. It also comes with a built in bayonet, although this can be detached. It flashes when fired, but emits no visible light pulse.
9,600 kj Heavy Laser Cannon:
The 9,600 kj laser cannon is one of the main heavy weapons used on Cylon combat vehicles. The combat sled is one of the main combat vehicles of the Cylon Empire that routinely carries this lethal weapon. Elsewhere it can be found in emplacements in both the anti-armour and anti-aircraft role. When used it fires a blue beam of light.
Note: The weapon has a power consumption of 38,400 kw.
Grenades:
The Cylons do make use of normal grenades, much like other forces. Their grenades are conventional in shape, and operation, but are slightly larger for better throwing by the Cylon larger hands. Cylons tend to favour fragmentation grenades when operating against organic targets.
Metron Bomb:
The Metron Bomb is a large charge used by Cylon forces. It consists of a large cylinder that is filled with explosive. It is not thrown, instead it is placed next to the target. The device is not a shaped charge like other bombs and has a full blast radius. It has an activation switch, which when pressed, causes the bomb to glow a dim red. The bomb may be detonated by a timer, remote link or via various sensors that can include motion and sound.
