One of the more interesting findings of the Abelar Archaeological Survey was specimen 098-47B, a fully functional handheld Noldor webcannon. Partial and complete webcannons had been found at other Noldor sites, but this is the first time that a working example of the handheld model has been recovered.

The principles behind the Webcannon are not understood at all, despite the disassembly of several weapons and analysis of numerous other webcannons. When the firing stud is depressed, the weapon produces a bolt of pulsed energy. Analysis of the beam indicates some similarities to cosmic rays, but there are a number of unidentifiable components to the beam which complicates analysis and reproduction of the ray. The visibly lighter thin waves against the darker background of the carrier beam are said to resemble a web of some type, which has lead to their popular name.

The effect of a webcannon bolt is quite similar to an ion cannon, having no physical affect on targets, but disabling electronic systems. As with Ion cannons, it can cause brain damage or paralysis in living systems. Unlike Ion cannons, the effects of a webcannon blast are quite permanent, at least to the methods available to current galactic standards. 098-47B is little larger than a blaster pistol, with the strangely twisted appearance that is characteristic of Noldor technology.
